It has to be someone really special to make us feel like this. Someone you know really well. Someone you really love. Have you ever felt like… Continue reading Psa 84:2 – So excited
Surging, foaming water rips me down. I flay wildly trying to find the surface, however in the grip of the powerful rapids it’s impossible to see anything. One of the crazier things I’ve experienced is whitewater river rafting down the Zambezi River. It’s fun, that is until the raft flips and you’re thrown into the… Continue reading Isa 43:2 – Raging Rivers
“How happy are those who fear the LORD– all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How happy you will be!

It might not have been the “top of grade” prize but I was nonetheless very excited getting a prize even if I wasn’t the best. Winning prizes is a… Continue reading Phi 3:14 – The prize
I remember a school friend who used to joke, “the winner is he who dies with the most toys”. Sadly this is a philosophy many in our world follow – the pursuit of possessions. In fact most media – TV, social media, magazines, has one goal, to get you to buy things. And the way… Continue reading Luk 12:15 – Abundance of possessions
Some years ago myself and a group of friends set out on a crazy hike up a mountain. It was getting dark, we were exhausted, and a mist was descending. We reached a split in the path.

Work-Home. Socials-Church. Monday-Sunday. Compartments. That’s how most of us live life. And in each of these compartments there is a version of us. The boss – The dad. The joker – The preacher.
