Bob had made up his mind on the issue. He had been out of work for two years, and he was now 50 years old. He didn’t feel he could go back to his last job because it had got him to the point of despair. Other than that his work history wasn’t much to […]
Read More Faith And Being RealisticIt Started At A Wedding (Not My Own, Obviously) I don’t get invited to weddings often, and of late I’ve loathed being that much in crowds. Yet a dear friend of the family was getting married and invited my wife and I to his wedding. So we made an appearance at the ceremony and even […]
Read More Getting StuckI was reminded recently of this very powerful video. I would strongly recommend you watching it twice. First time for impact and the second time to digest more of how sin manifests itself. The issue with sin is that it can be very easy to get hung up with certain sings and not be aware […]

Those stories can be real and often reality is stranger than fiction. Of late I’ve come across a […]
Read More Judging: Innocent Until Proven …Just the smallest stir took place when Chaka Khan gave this rendition of her R’n’B hit at a Celebration of Gospel. It opens up a lot of interesting questions about what are songs that glorify God? Gotta tell you, there’s a slice of me (rather than a part for a change) that is old school. […]

Read More Some Bugging Thoughts and QuestionsNot an extended blog for today, but I picked up the local newspaper this afternoon, now when I say local newspaper, I mean local newspapers.
