Across the valley from our home, on a hill, there is a huge cross that is lit up every Easter time. I don’t know who put it there, but I’m sure it must have taken a lot of effort, time, and money to erect. The significant costs did not deter them, but I’m sure their… Continue reading Cross of Hope
While walking my dog, I saw my neighbour’s cat had cornered a mouse. I wondered why he froze instead of attempting to escape. I learned that mice exposed to cat urine while nursing associate the predator’s scent with safety. They become trapped in dangerous situations with no fear, even though they experience increased stress and… Continue reading Divine Rescue
Breathe in. Breathe out. How often do you think about your breathing? Probably not very often, as it is something our body does naturally without us even being conscious of it. However, I recently attended a yoga class, and the entire class was focused on being mindful of our breath and the benefits that come… Continue reading Job 33v4 – The Best Breathing technique

But what… Continue reading Psa 62v8 – Trust God always
I am seated in a plane and about to take off. It is a metal box with two metal arms protruding from either side. I’m not exactly sure how this piece of technology can lift me 30,000 feet above sea level. But I have faith that it will bring me to my final destination. This… Continue reading Heb 11v6 – Complete faith
Walking along the seawall, I see a massive log trapped between the tide and the shore. This huge log could be used to hold up a house or a bridge. Yet, it seems like the tide and the waves are determined to destroy it. Despite its size, eventually, it will break apart and disappear into… Continue reading 2Co 4v7 – The Trapped Log
Stop reading this. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Sit in silence, and be still. Let go to God. Let go of your worries. Let go of your fears. Let go of your control. Ok, do it before you read on…. Let me guess; you either didn’t spend the 10 minutes with God, or you… Continue reading Exo 14v14 – Time for God?
Our bed was our island oasis in a house filled with rising water during a recent flood. We had a floor fan that we were using to monitor the water level. The rain continued unabated, and the water level had already reached 30cm. We were completely at the mercy of God. How often in life… Continue reading Psa 32v6 – Rising waters
