Many years ago, my wife and I were travelling around Europe. Everything we thought we needed was packed in our large backpacks. However, soon the weight became onerous as we trudged long miles. While the memories of the places we visited may have faded, the lesson of sore shoulders and travel light has not. Now,… Continue reading Psa 68v19 – Travel light
Isn’t it fascinating how flying brings a unique perspective? No matter the weather below, it’s always sunny above the clouds. It is like the saying, “There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” Life isn’t always a ‘sunny ride’ and doesn’t always go according to our plan. However, it’s important to remember that… Continue reading Joh 8v12 – The light
If there is one thing that is really frustrating it’s the small, innocent-looking, seemingly helpless single sock. I’m sure you know the feeling. When you bought the socks they came in a pair and then all of a sudden one day there is only one.

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.

Some years ago, I watched in awe and trepidation as Nik Wallenda stepped out onto a thin wire stretched across the Grand Canyon with no safety devices. Nik became the first person to complete the 457-meter walk across the Grand Canyon. With strong winds and dangerous cable vibrations, there were some heart-stopping moments, especially when… Continue reading Luk 5v16 – Dangerous Vibrations
“I am so blessed,” she says as I listen to her voice message. “God is amazing”, she concludes with joy as her message ends. At 82 years of age and living alone, you might think Rosemary has shared a message about some windfall gain or other fortuitous event. However, she has just told me about… Continue reading Psa 23v4 – 82 and alone
We love walking – walking in the mountains, walking in nature, walking in scenic villages, walking in any interesting place. But, while these may all be beautiful places to walk in, there is one place where we must all walk in – “And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As… Continue reading 2Jo1v6 – Walking in love
Do you know that you are a dearly loved child of God? This is not a temporary relationship; it is forever. We are told to “Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love” (Ephesians 5:1).
