Take a Deep Breath

Those of us who are parents know how powerful the expression on someone's face can be. The first time your child rolls their eyes at you as you enlighten them regarding their behaviour is revolutionary. The inside thoughts suddenly appear on the outside. The 'little angel' you have been talking to for years with a complete …

Holes in the Darkness

I hope you all had a happy and blessed Easter filled with the joy and power of His resurrection. I wanted to post yesterday the Hallelujah Chorus but the day was incredibly busy so there's a link hidden in the words for your enjoyment and to give Him glory. I have that playing in the …

Time and All That Stuff

I am still feeling the effects of DST last weekend. Losing that hour I say 'losing' but all we did was adjust our clocks, time remained the same just our usage of it. But it has affected me. I am walking our dog at 6 am and last week the sky was light and birds sat …

No Longer Swayed or Bowed

As I sat here without clear direction about what to write that thought …

Right

I love words, I love knowing what they mean, I love knowing where they came from. I love being able to identify the roots and work out the meaning of new words . The game Free Rice is the best thing ever because I get to exercise and grow my vocabulary and feed the hungry. I …

Experience

As you know I have been reading The Voice instead of the NIV recently, although I keep referring to the NIV as if it is the original text. I plan to brush up my greek and hebrew if I can be diligent enough to find some books or online tools. Now I have suitably impressed …

Context

I have been sitting here for quite some time, typing, thinking but nothing rings right in my heart. This blog is my accountability right now. I made a commitment with God to write every day. This means I have to pray every day so that I have things to share. I did pray this morning, and God …

Basics

13 What if I speak in the most elegant languages of people or in the exotic languages of the heavenly messengers, but I live without love? Well then, anything I say is like the clanging of brass or a crashing cymbal. 2 What if I have the gift of prophecy, am blessed with knowledge and insight to all …
