I bet no one will disagree when I say that the more you exercise and the less junk food you eat, the healthier your body will be. In fact, there is science to show that if you eat good nutritious food and exercise frequently, you can prolong your life and mitigate disease risks. A non-optimal… Continue reading Gen 1v27 – Living Healthy
The gap, it’s the worst thing. The gap between problem and solution. The gap between the known and the unknown. The gap between today and tomorrow. In life, there is always some gap that we stand at the edge of. Will they get well? Where will the money come from? Will I be safe? Will… Continue reading Phi 4v19 – The GAP
I recently listened to a well-known podcast speaker explaining why he never wanted to claim to believe in God because believing means acting. He felt he could never act and live like belief in God requires, and only Jesus could truly claim belief. At one level, what he said is correct. Claiming to believe something… Continue reading 1Co 4v20 – Do you really believe?
There are many animals that people are excited to see in game reserves. However, one that is not usually high up on the to-see list is the warthog. These beauty-challenged pig-like animals with their wart protrusions are often ignored as people seek out lions, leopards, elephants and other greater beasts. However, watching them on a… Continue reading Psa 95v6 – Warthogs
We recently left our two small dogs behind when our family went on an extended trip. While we knew the date we would return, the dogs had no idea. As the days became weeks, they may have thought we would never return. However, the date was set and slowly but surely, the day drew closer.… Continue reading Acts 1v11 – Leaving the dogs

And if there are clouds, how do I know the sun is really still there?… Continue reading Matt 24v35 – Will the sun rise?
Training for a marathon teaches you one thing – repetition. As I trudge bleary-eyed along the promenade, I watch the sun rise each day from the same spot while the waves consistently crash against the shore. The repetition reminds me of King Solomon’s words – “What do people gain from all their labours at which… Continue reading Ecc 1v3-7 – Cycles
We were visiting Etosha Game Reserve in Namibia. My daughter’s boyfriend had never seen a lion in the wild. I prayed to God that if it was his will, could he please lead us to see a lion. We were on our final day, heading toward the gate, and we still hadn’t seen any lions.… Continue reading Luk 11v13 – Answered prayer
“When will we be there?” This was a common question our kids would ask when they were younger whenever we travelled anywhere. Most times, our answer would satisfy them. However, there was one time when the answer confounded them – in a game reserve. In a game reserve, although we were still driving, the answer… Continue reading Eph 3v19 – When will we be there?
We’ve found an empty spot away from the crowded viewpoint to watch the sunset. Before long, the first car pulls up. Although there are countless other viewpoints, they want to see what our view is like, purely because we are there. We stop in a game reserve to look at an animal, and again, before… Continue reading 1Co 11v1 – Imitate Me
