What’s in a Name?
I’m reminded of a phrase used when people get exasperated and they might say, “what in heavens name are you doing”. Of course it is a form of swearing, and we are reminded not to take the Lord’s Name or heavens Name in vain. Today the taking of various names in vain is common usage……

The “WAY”
This photo reminds me so much of those beach tracks which lead down to ocean beaches. Quite often the water is hidden from view until the path takes you over a rise and then the majestic ocean and shoreline comes into view. There is something magical about pathways as they guide us to special locations.…

Faith’s Reality!
There is something about rocks that have stood the test of time… like Uluru, which is situated in the Northern Territory of Australia. Of course, there are many rock formations throughout the world. Civilisations come and go, and what is built finally crumbles into history. Yet these rock formations formed millions of years ago still…

God’s crucible process!
Does God have a crucible process? He surely does and it is an important part of the faith process in our lives as Christians. The maturing or refining of our faith may not seem that important to us, but to God it is a priority… yes, more important than our own desires and dreams, more…

God’s stamp of Approval!
Ink stamps mark documents… the ones above with German names look like an office set. The Gebucht one could be for stamping ‘entered’ on invoices. The Fur lhre Akten stamp could be for printing, ‘for your files’ on client’s copies. Historically stamps were used to validate articles. Kings and other nobles would have a signet…

NO REGRETS!
Wouldn’t it be great to wake up one day having not a care in the world and having no regrets about what has happened in the past. Just to live for the present unshackled and totally free. Okay, let’s be honest… we have all reflected on certain events in our lives. Those things we would…

Jesus is Peace!
There is a Hymn titled, ‘It is well with my soul’. Its inspiration is based on words found in Isaiah 48:18, “… your peace would have been like a river…”. It is all about God knowing what is best for us and guiding us. It is then, that our PEACE could be like a river.…

Beyond Mortality
The following words are found in the Bible ” But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings…” (Mal.4:2). God’s prophetic word speaks to us about the future, but it also reveals spiritual truth for us today! There are two very important words in this passage…

Marksmanship!
To be a good shooter you must be consistently accurate. Be it pistol or rifle shooting there are principles for achieving success. The shooter must be well balanced, also keeping the body still, breathing correctly, and with a trigger action that is smooth. I recall my father teaching me firearm safety and shooting as a…

The Passage of Time!
Time is relentless, it never stops and we reflect… if only I had my time over again. If only I had made a different choice, if only I had paused and waited before making that important decision. It doesn’t matter how old we are, time is always that crucial element in our lives. When we…
