So it’s been a while since I posted a simple random thread. It’s Sunday afternoon and I figured while it’s still weekend, and the sun is fixing to set, and a few random things have happened lately, this would be a good time to catch up on my random access to information…in my mind. I…

Faithful to Another’s Vision
1 Kings 19v19-21 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him. Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and…
Short Verse, Deep Meaning.
John 11v35 “Jesus wept.” One noun, one verb…that’s it. It’s been bothering me for a short while, why Jesus would weep. Most of us know the backdrop to this story. Mary, Martha and Lazarus lived together. Lazarus died four days earlier, and not only were Mary and Martha devastated at the loss of their brother,…

Hole in One; the Importance of Team Work

Keeping It Simple
I often marvel at the technology that is available at our fingertips and the freedom we have today to share information across a multitude of platforms. It was in 1995 that I sat in my office with an internet technician hooking up my computer to the “internet” via a “dial-up” modem. At the time I had no…
When Life goes from Bad to Worse
“I was pretty sure I understood what God was asking me to do. I was obedient. I took the next steps…but now I’m wondering if I got it all wrong. Instead of things going right they seem to be getting worse!” Sound familiar? We think we understand what God is asking of us, but the…
Friend or Brother?
Remember back in the day the teacher would assign a topic and then we would have to write an essay and hopefully get good marks when we turned the paper in? I am glad those days are over, and today prefer to be organic – if it means something to me I will share it,…
