Once in a while there comes an opportunity to visit a place that everyone across the globe talks about. Sometimes it is a place that you may have heard of as a child growing up, or perhaps someone told you of a time they went to an amazing world renowned city. For us, this past…
Author: Pastor Vic
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.
Becoming the conduit: You Feed Them!
13When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This…
How do I carry my cross?
I was sitting here thinking to myself, how amazing life can be. That the outcome of what we pursue is often the very thing that keeps us busy day in day out, sometimes for good and often for worse. As the years passed I have had some lucky breaks, but along with those breaks came…
Rich man, poor man…
This is pretty much a verbalization of something that has troubled me today, if it means anything to you, great, if it doesn’t that is great too, I just have this urgency to share and “put it out there”. Does it work like this for you; just randomly going about your day, and then suddenly…
Caution: Building Plan Required
Luke 14:28-30 Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who see it will ridicule him, saying “This fellow began…
Scriptural Reflections
So often for those who are firm believers in Christ we tend to think that ‘once saved – always saved’. I guess this viewpoint widely depends on your own personal growth and foundation in the Lord as well as individual knowledge of the bible. Many times over, I have encountered my own dilemma in regard…
With a Twist
Every now and then I will look at a situation and draw my own conclusion to it. My comments might be right, they may be wrong… Every Thursday I go along to an early morning Bible study, called S.O.A.P group. Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer. Today we touched on some of the passages in the book…
Merry Christmas 2008
CHRISTMAS comes but once a year. While this day induces excitement and wanton spending and merry-making, it must be a time to reflect on the man on whom this day is centered. This is our Lord Jesus Christ. Although I do not intend to sermonize, those celebrating Christmas must reflect on the events that led…
Oh the Grace
On Wednesday July 30, 2008 I posted an entry that touched many lives across the globe. As an online blogger who shares events and stories across a myriad of platforms that touch my life and in turn hopefully touch yours too – it is my responsibility to be aware of stories and issues that either…
Times; they are a changing
I went back over the entire Journal and saw a repetitive speech forming with regard to the lack of posting and updating, and figured I wouldn’t even bother mentioning that I have slipped out of contention and broken the one month no post rule! The idea of being a practically open book and journaling for…
