This year saw the birth of Christopher Journeyman. A big reason for that was my recognition of the importance of the journey in my life and what it was to pay more attention to that. Who set the journey, the purpose of the journey, the scenery in the journey, the stops along the journey, the […]
Read More December Thanks #19: JournalLife for me is not without its struggles and challenges. I find more and more, however, that I am better equipped to engage with these realities on the basis of meditating on the Word of God. Not from a simplistic point of view that the Bible has all the answers. In fact, sometimes it deepens […]
Read More A Brief Word About The WordA good friend of mine took me to watch a movie recently. I have probably been to about half a dozen films at the cinema this year. The film I watched with my friend is the second best one of the year. A really good story was told. Why I am grateful for stories is […]
Read More December Thanks #13: StoriesThe very thought of living without words is weird to me. That which I visualise and capture aurally I only know to express through the method of words. Spoken and written, read and heard, rich though the textures of life are beyond words, there is something powerful about the exercising of words. I was sitting […]
Read More December Thanks #05: WordsThe 26 year old monarch had established himself as a refreshingly godly kind of King.

Read More The Kings II 22 – Torn: Look What I FoundBack in the day, I loved the commentary styles of the likes of David Coleman, Brian Moore, Barry Davies and John Motson. If you’re not interested in sport and English commentary on the variety of sport then this won’t mean much to you, but it meant heaps to me for years. Apparently there was some […]
Read More My WordI suppose different things appeal to people in different ways. I have had the privilege of being in different church environments. Some prefer a very rigid structure and order. Some are more flexible. Some make a big deal of monologue preaching as the central point of the gathering. Some make a big deal of the […]
Read More When A Teacher Lays A FoundationSome people are keen to hear the word of the Lord. That is understandable. You’re in a relationship with someone, you want to share who you are and you want to get to know who the other person is. Some of the best ways to get to know I’d hear what they say. God is […]
Read More What To Expect When He SpeaksHe cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have defied the word of the Lord and have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. You came back and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you […]
Read More The Kings 13 – A Message and a MessengerI am all for instructions. I don’t know how to do certain things, so getting guidance from those who know how to is going to be a big help. I love the fact that people have written down those instructions and for things like cooking (which I rarely engage in) it is the difference between […]
