Dear Ritson: I hope you are well. It’s not the first time I’ve blogged about you on your birthday, but I was particularly keen to get something written on this occasion. There’s a lot I could say to you and I want to say a lot, but it’s probably best to split this over a […]
Read More Blog to My Mentor: Prelude – From Letters to BlogsDeath is a topic some people avoid. You know the concerns – it’s being morbid, it’s a bit depressing, there’s nothing that good to say about it and for some it triggers some pretty traumatic memories. As death is inevitable, though, I don’t mind thinking and taking about the matter from time to time. I […]
Read More So Much To Write – So Little TimeMy handwriting at school was very close to awful. It was obviously legible enough to give teachers the impression I knew what was going on, but I am fairly certain I helped a number of those teachers need glasses such was the squinting and the working out what was what. All that handwriting and joined […]
Read More The Writer ThingTalking verbally is something that I do fairly well, but I prefer writing. By writing I mean typing either on a laptop or on a mobile device like a tablet or phone. I believe people are more used to me for the verbal, but often my best manner of expression is through the written word. […]
Read More Writing and 1 KingsSoon I hope to post a review of a book I have just fininshed reading. What made this experience particularly unique for me was that I got to engage with the author as I was reading it. I would read a section and then message him to ask for some insight about the chapter I […]
Read More Talking To The AuthorI love the church. I have never loved the church as much as I love it now. What has helped me love the church was growing up in it. To be fair though, growing up in it was also a way how I grew to despise it. At one point in my life I wondered […]
Read More About The BookIt’s been around nine years since I first started blogging. That’s a whole heap of words in those years. More importantly, though, I have come across some really good writers and followers of Christ who are able to record their journey in a really compelling way. There’s no doubt about it, my faith has been […]
Read More Grateful For … (2)Over the course of the month of October I have just made lists of ten where the order wasn’t set. Lists of ten to ponder over and contemplate. For the last list, however, I thought I’d stretch myself by considering what were my top ten life goals – in order. It’s certainly not an easy […]
Read More Top Ten Life GoalsI was reading a book, as is me habit, and I read the notes on the author. It’s not the first time I’ve read about an author and their various works, but on this occasion something really stood out about the list of responsibilities and achievements. There was something in it that struck me. I […]
Read More Who Are You Trying To Impress?So another month is upon us and this is a Bank Holiday Monday so technically I’ve been able to enjoy a day off work. Key words in that statement ‘technically’ and ‘enjoy’. For all that I’m enjoying life at present, despite some bad health of late, I remain in the land of the living. I’ve […]
