This has been an especially terrible week for Bostonians and Americans with terrorism and a freak massive explosion occurring within days of each other. My heart has cried out especially for those who have lost loved ones and for the injured. A number of people have mentioned the similarity in the Boston bombings to some […]
Solitude, silence and prayer. I purchased this book having spent a number of months seeking to do more of all 3. For too long I’ve thought communing with God was a reflection of how many experiences I have of Him, whatever form they may take. However, I no longer seek the experiences OF Him rather […]
I’ve had the good fortune of experiencing my first ever “Blog Tour” this past week. 30 readers with blogs requested a copy of Angelguard from Kregel on the premise they would commit to read it and write a review on their blog. I’ve enjoyed interacting with readers in providing additional information as well as reading […]
I’ve always considered the Bible to be a love story. This book helps elucidate the essence of God’s love for us in each of the 66 letters of the Bible. I loved it. I took on a challenge to read the entire Bible during Lent just passed. Crabb’s book had been sitting on my shelf […]
Jenny* was running late. She grabbed the first seat inside the door, and acknowledged the teacher standing on the opposite side of the room. He welcomed her, unfazed by being interrupted. We were sharing our homework. A 250-word piece on “Daring to Kick the Universe”. We soon got around to Jenny. She prefaced her work […]
It is the day after Easter Sunday. And my first experience of observing Lent has now passed. Did I have an experience of God that wowed my mind? No. Was I able to effectively let go of my daily ill discipline that I had set out to fast? Yes, but with lapses. The most satisfying […]
Today is Palm Sunday Down Under. The day Jesus rode, on a donkey, into Jerusalem. This marks the first day of Easter week. I finished reading the Old Testament on Friday. And wow, was it a rewarding experience. Certainly challenging, 1300+ pages in 5 weeks. I didn’t have time for deep reflection on individual passages […]
I returned home on Monday to an unusual package sitting at my front door. I wasn’t expecting anything to be delivered. I ventured inside noticing the address label indicated the parcel had come from the United Kingdom. Hastily I opened it and to my surprise were copies of Angelguard. Finally, I can hold this baby […]
My siblings and I have been helping our parents spring-clean their house. They’re both in their eighties and it never ceases to amaze me how much stuff one can collect over a long life. The house becomes very “full”, especially when you’re not inclined to throw things out, as is the case with my parents. […]
I woke one morning last week thoroughly discouraged. I was struggling to understand how Angelguard was ever going to sell many copies when it appeared to only be carried by three retailers, all online ones. I was excited having been advised ten days or so ago that stock had finally landed in the US after […]
