Confessions of a closet grumbler
Posted in Uncategorized on January 17, 2012 | 1 Comment »
“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the [...]

“that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 NIV God [...]
Out of His Deep Blue

It looked like a huge Stingray, which made me side step out the way. As I did, it billowed out and seemed to pop, like a huge balloon, before disappearing into His deep blue again. I stopped walking in the waves crest, and waited on the sand for a better look. It disappeared as the [...]

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV I love watching those TV home makeover programs – especially the ones where they do renovations on a very low budget. It forces the design team to get creative – buying [...]
With The Disciples!

Not too sure where I was! Not too sure what exactly I was doing! I do know however that it involved praying. Suddenly, I was sitting on a little hill of my own, with a blanket of green grass underneath me. The hill abruptly flattened out, and it was as though I was on a [...]

Can’t help but love my Dad! I go to His house generally on the weekend, and every time I do, I cherish that time and more than often, I want to stay and not go back to my own home. I meet up with other family members who also visit His house on a regular [...]
Sonnet

I see a calf there cradled in the grass As mother grazes lazily she strays, Some distance grows between them, moments pass, ’til she recalls and runs right back and stays. The calf sleeps on surrounded by three crows, Cow falls to knees and settles to the ground, She chews the cud and waits, there [...]
In Joy and Sorrow God IS Faithful
Posted in Uncategorized on March 25, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Last Thursday evening we were busy decorating the church for our daughter’s upcoming wedding. This Thursday in the same building we mourned the loss of a friend.
