While the church may have changed with a change in its leadership, I think you changed even more so and found your selvf looking at it all with a different perspective.

I love it! I love it! I love it!

Hey Tinkerbell! Yes its been a while. Good to see you are still on CC.

I was listening to a program on the BBC radio a few years ago, where the presenter was talking of an experiment conducted in 1969. 5 psychiatrists checked themselves into 5 different Psychiatric hospitals in the US under false names and they each wrote just one symptom - they were hearing...

As I was having breakfast this morning,(Saturday) I was listening to a program on radio about the smoothie health craze where one blends certain fruit or vegetable items and drinks that as a meal. I remember an ex boss of mine stopped having lunch with us and would drink a blended concoction of...

Without being painfully aware of our frailty and mortality Life seemingly loses its shine and is somewhat shallow Without ever knowing the hard lessons of defeat and failure Our victories and triumphs are somewhat hollow How do we learn to cherish the ones we hold close to our heart If we have...

A young man had the strangest dream He saw the end of the longest road He came upon the strangest scene Three bearded men and they were old He asked them, “Sirs what is this place?” “And why do you stand in this plain?” Their wrinkled faces each lit up One had a smile, two stretched with pain...

I came across this poem this morning, buried in a folder on my laptop. I wrote it in the early hours of the morning on a visit to Johannesburg in 2014. We had gone as a group to attend the official opening of a church that our church had a relationship with. This church was located in a very...

Time and again I speak to your heart But the cares that burden you are many And I can’t seem to get a Word in Oh child, how I long for you to sit still and listen Can you not see that I AM the answer to those many questions? Will you not realise that I AM the Healer? But sadly, as I call...

A troubled weary soul am I Seated and staring into the distance Gazing through the window of hope I sometimes see the realm of possibility Of what can be But too often I lose focus And find myself staring at my own reflection At my present state and all that is behind me This is what happens...

And I'm I talking about the ONE thing you'd really like to get done. If you look at your 2017 "to do list" which ONE thing really stands out? Just to preclude some possible answers, I'm sure we all agree that a closer, more obedient walk with God and trusting Him more is by far more important...

As falling leaves dance in the cool morning breeze As the clouds close in with a promise of rain A purple crested lourie adorns a nearby tree With this backdrop of silence I prepare for my day:o The frantic madness that defines the day Is peppered with few moments of sanity With the pressure...

Will you tell her that He loves her? That even when she feels that is all lost That too much time has passed Too little, too late, too high to climb, too far to go Too great, too grand, too hard to fix Too filthy she feels And too unclean, There's not much love it seems Or could it be, she...

Will you tell her that He loves her? That even when she feels that is all lost That too much time has passed Too little, too late, too high to climb, too far to go Too great, too grand, too hard to fix Too filthy she feels And too unclean, There's not much love it seems Or could it be, she...

It’s good to be ambitious. It’s good to aspire to achieve and be more. Its great advice to be always… how can I put this… Forward looking? It’s really important to plan for, and work towards building one’s future. Its vital to be prepared – well, in as much as we can be! I mean, there’s nothing...

Reading through Lukes account of the birth of Christ, one cannot miss the irony. The most significant event in the history of humanity was unfolding and some of Israels least significant people were the first to know about it. The news was told to humble shepherds. If we are honest, this flies...

We are at that time of the year again when throughout most of the world people exchange greetings, cards and (if they are fortunate) gifts as we celebrate Christmas. earlier today on my way to work I could hear the words of a popular Carol on the radio, "Noel Noel, Noel, Noel...." My mind...

Ever been in a situation where you are so tired of something bad always happening to you that you go a little overboard in trying to deal with the problem? I remember some 20 years ago I was sharing a house with two friends of mine. In the first 6 months there, we were being hounded by constant...

I just remembered the first time I started dating a certain someone and things didn't go according to plan. I had managed to persuade a lady I really liked to spend some time with me on a date. I had planned a simple dinner at a certain restaurant and then we'd take in a movie afterwards. So I...

Oh how I long for this tempest to end For most of my life I considered him friend This raging within, the fight to be free Yes, die he must, but this means the death of me If the truth be told, he has to go It’s not that easy, believe me, I know For the one that needs to perish you see This...
