We had the joy of spending the very American holiday of Thanksgiving with my mum and dad and my brother and sister along with all the kids. One thing my father required during the holiday is that we all meet at his kitchen table for a bible study each morning. There are few things that … Continue reading Dad’s Bible Study
How to Pick a Wife
I wrote an article not too long ago entitled, 'How to Pick a Husband'. I did not mean to write it. What I mean is that I wrote it for my daughters a long time ago as a kind of checklist for a godly husband. I am not sure who suggested it but I ended … Continue reading How to Pick a Wife
New Year’s Realisation
New year. New me. That is what they say. So … I have enjoyed a high protein diet I hit the gym - mainly weight training, because everyone knows cardio sucks. I have read more books I have tried to get at least 6 hrs of sleep each night. I have become more conscious of … Continue reading New Year’s Realisation
How to pick a husband
I wrote this because it is something I have thought about a lot. I wonder all the time why Punk (that is Mindy, my wife) picked me.

The family and I spent the morning on the high street (main street) sharing the gospel with individuals as they passed by. We meet up with other members of the church at a local coffee shop so we can get jacked up on caffeine and catch up a bit. Then we drift outside to where … Continue reading Highstreet
Just the Guys
Tonight I get to hang out with Hud and Stef (my two boys, who are not really boys anymore) and despite the image for this post we are not actually eating pizza (which is the universal guys night food). Actually, Punk left us an amazing meal on the hob before she bolted. She takes good … Continue reading Just the Guys
Books: Man’s Best Friend
Friends can be the source of the worst advice you will ever get in your life. But they may just save your life. I guess the difference comes down to having, not friends, but good friends. Books are just like that. People say reading is good for you and that is not necessarily true. They … Continue reading Books: Man’s Best Friend
Hemingway on Preaching
I adapted this from an excerpt of a letter from Earnest Hemingway. He was expressing a thought about writing, but the correlation to preaching was so apparent that I had to get it down before I carried on and it was lost forever.
