  • A thought about Sabbath during a pandemic

    The world of Covid-19 has dramatically changed what we call “normal life”. Sure our Netflix shows give us a sense of normalcy, but what happens when we have exhausted all of our options for things to watch on a screen? And more importantly, what happens to all the extroverts that are now dealing with an introverts world?

  • Generations of being bald

    My father was bald. So was my grandfather on my mother’s side. I wonder if my new grandson will inherit this trait.

  • Leadership in Lockdown

    Saturday 29th February 2020 dawned warm and clear and continued to be a wonderful day as our family celebrated the wedding of our eldest son to our new daughter-in-law. There was lots of hugs and kisses and all the joy you’d normally expect at such a celebration. This day will be etched into the family memory bank for years to come. Good times.

  • The Calm Before the Storm

    It started with toilet paper hoarding, and perhaps we laughed a little. But it was a nervous laugh. Because quickly things became far more serious as people all over the world were called home and required to self-isolate

  • Walking with the dying

    Most of the time we live as if we won’t die – or if that prospect is only a vague future possibility. Death comes more into focus when someone close to us only has a short time to live. In order to ‘walk’ with that person, we have to come to terms with death; with what it means for that person soon to die, and what it means for us.

  • On taking photos

    I grew up in a household where my parents were always keen to take photos on holidays and at family events. I remember my mother had a Box Brownie camera and she took photos of the TV when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon! Photo taking is a nice tradition and I inherited the habit.

  • We can fight both viruses

    I wait I stand at the top of the cliff and wait! Waiting for a rescue team to come

  • Lockdown Blues? Think about Noah

    Imagine this, one day you are living your life, going about you daily tasks, and the next minute you are stuck inside with your family and you don’t know for how long.

  • A Pandemic’s Purpose

    I don’t know what is happening right now. I’ve seen so much from different people. Different perspectives, different stories, and different suggestions for the purpose of this pandemic. But I just don’t know, and for once, I don’t feel like I’m alone with that.

  • What to do before the apocalypse

    As I write this, over a million people have been globally infected with COVID-19 and rapidly counting. As the pandemic spreads, more countries are closing borders, restricting personal freedoms, and enforcing strict social distancing.

  • The heart of worship

    Worship. It’s a prayer, a song or even just a public declaration. But however you prefer to give our amazing creator praise, it is a well known fact that worship is an essential part of our Christian walk.
