That is my rant and rave for the day before Christmas. I have promised a video clip of us here for Christmas, and I realize that we are at the bottom of the time zone scale and so the next time you check the blog you will see it, and it will more than likely be after Christmas, so as they say “it’s the thought that counts…”
On December 20th I posted a audio video and what I am going to do, to keep life on the web simple, is I will leave the text alone, and will switch out the song with stuff that I enjoy, and hopefully you do to. Some people have said it doesn’t work, my advice is for you not try anything just open the blog and allow the page to load fully and the video will start automatically.
I created this space as a welcoming home for candid life discussions, faith, and purposeful community. My journey has been anything but conventional—from navigating childhood moves to Europe, spending 40 years in the printing industry, and living across two vastly different worlds in Zimbabwe and the United States, God has spent decades quietly forming my heart before officially calling me into pastoral ministry. Recently ordained and commissioned as a pastor, I write from a place of real, lived experience, openly sharing the highs of deep faith alongside the raw seasons of depression, doubt, and navigating life’s unexpected detours. Since establishing this journal back in 2005, my mission remains simple: to listen without judgment, share honest testimonies, and encourage you to slow down, press pause, and discover how to shine brightly for Jesus in our everyday lives.
