Today I came in from a birthday party, and instead of heading to clear up the kitchen, I plunked myself down in front of my computer. By default, I clicked onto the solitaire game on the desktop. “What a waste of time!” I chided myself. It was about 5.00 pm and too early …
In case some of you don’t know, “The Maverick” has planned a grueling challenge for himself. I’ve been busy helping him by designing logos, creating tote bags and tee-shirts. I’ve kind of become his press agent, as I’ve also been contacting the media, and writing newspaper articles. However, “The Maverick” wrote his own article and it …
Panoramic view of our lounge “The Maverick” and I discovered that we needed photos of him wearing the bright orange tee-shirt my sister sent him. We were working on his logo, and the lettering in the background is blue. In the previous photos I took, he was wearing a purple shirt. So, on Sunday, 4th …
19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;By understanding He established the heavens;20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up,And clouds drop down the dew. 21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes—Keep sound wisdom and discretion;22 So they will be life to your soulAnd grace to your neck.

The Faithful Old Friend–Good-bye It has been an interesting week here in our little flat. On Monday, whilst sitting here at my computer, the phone rang. The young lady on the phone identified herself as an employee of Faulkner’s Plumbing and wanted to know if Tuesday was be a good day for a …
I was sitting on the edge of the bed this morning getting dressed for work. The Maverick comes in and says: “It’s so nice to have warm feet! Now, where did I leave them?” “What, your warm feet?” I counter. “No, my trousers. Stop being obstreperous.” 🙂
I’m grateful for http://www.biblegateway.com/ for many reasons—the many resources, such as keyword search, topical index, and passage look-up. Over twenty translations/versions of the Bible are available for comparison study and/or reading. But one of the tools I really like is the Daily Reading Plans. http://www.biblegateway.com/reading-plans/ Over the years I’ve pretty much stuck …
Response: Jesus said, ‘Pray like this’. Father, help us to pray your way. God our Father, who lives in heaven and in our hearts, we want to be like Jesus. When Jesus prayed He went to a secret place. Teach us to …
Early Sunday evening, and I would love to lay down and take a nap; but it is too late for that. I got back to the house at about 3.30 pm—which would have been an excellent time to have a kip. Especially since “The Maverick” is working this evening. Instead, I check my e-mail, …
Yesterday was Sunday. Once a quarter I have the privilege of leading the intercessions during worship service. I quite enjoy writing prayers, because I am not just writing what comes to mind–I am actively thinking about what to pray for and how to pray. Often, as I think about my family, my community …
