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. I also think about the possibility of my daughters choosing a husband one day. So I came up with a possible criteria upon which my daughters can decide … Continue reading How to pick a husband

Highstreet
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

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.

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.

A Victorious Failure
“And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims … Continue reading A Victorious Failure
Magic
I haven’t written for while. But the perfect moment comes along and what can you do? The weather on our back porch is perfect while my perfect wife tiptoes around the garden, inspecting her flowers like a mum checking in on her kids who is careful not to wake them. As she gathers up her … Continue reading Magic
