From Sacred Space ” You tell me to carry my cross, Lord. You are not telling me to go out looking for the cross, in practices or penances. Rather I find it under my nose. Every encounter that costs me, that rubs off my ego, is part of your plan for me. I start with…

Random Thoughts before the Big Downpour
I thought this picture above is fun …. I call it “Three Men and a Toilet” (or more precisely – Bathroom?). Up to you what your imagination might spur you to think. It was a humorous moment during a break at our church refocusing day last saturday. I was thinking about some things I don’t…
Lent 20.1: UNFINISHED

On the one hand, it can retard a person’s recognition of truth by leading the person to render himself/herself the ultimate arbiter of truth. Such a person will inevitably fail to recognise the work of Christ in his/her life. In failing to…
