The problem of racism, what is the answer? Part 2

  • Seek first God’s kingdom

    Last month a number of incidents in my life stressed me out, these were issues that affected almost every aspect of who I am and felt quite depressed. Eventually, with the Word and strength of the Lord, these troubles were tided.

  • Pleasure and sorrow

  • Regret and how it affects us

    Scars. Scars tell of our triumph and fearlessness. I've got one of those, on my arm. It tells of the time that I heaved a log over a river to make a bridge for my bush walking team. Albeit a bridge that no one was inclined to trust.

  • The serpent on the pole

    This evening while walking home from work I felt the gentle whisper of God saying, “look up”. The sky was clear, the stars were visible and the air around me felt crisp.
