Maintaining the passion

The danger of becoming insular. As I contemplate my journey of faith thus far, this commercial comes to mind of how we can become insular and passionless in our walk. When I came to Christ some 5 years ago, I was full of dreams with a passion to bring about change [...]

Instant Faith

I’m off work today, another flexi day which will make this a nice long weekend, and find myself returning to this barren land of blog. Was making myself a cuppa coffee this morning, not the instant but the real stuff, and it dawned on me how often my faith can be like this. [...]

Busy Times

It’s been a hectic few weeks, alot of meetings, hardly a nite in, and often I find myself running from pillar to post without taking time to catch a breath. It’s kinda a love/hate relationship with busyness and me : I love being busy and having lots on, but at the same time I [...]

New Year, New Passion, New Start

Well as always I find myself at the start of another year somewhat apologetic for the lack of posting, but with a fresh desire to become more regular (in the postings!!)…  2007 saw a change of host for the blog, moving to wordpress back in August , and a somewhat sporadic series of musings since [...]

Running on Empty

Been a barren land again the blogfront, something that’s been a common theme so far in this journey.   Sometimes life, work, the church even can bleed you dry, and you find yourself being swept along, like a bottle in a raging current.
I need to regain my focus on Christ, re-connect to the living Saviour who [...]

Pause

Pause
Originally uploaded by col4man

Love days like today when I can step back from the race of life and simply spend some to pause, reflect and enjoy chilling out with God. Doesn’t happen nearly as often as it should, but really feel the benefit of it when it does. Haven’t blogged in a while, [...]
