Fatherlessness and Manhood
A Wounded Heart's Reflections on Growing Up As I was reading a blog recently, I was taken aback by one of the opening statements: "Most of us had absent fathers." Piercing. Piercing, because I am a part of that "most." I was raised by a very strong and capable woman,...
Learning to Fix My Sight
I find that a lot of my problems arise from me worrying. I tend to focus my sight on my circumstances, problems, and even myself a lot more than I do on Christ. These instances were never fruitful and always left me depressed or distraught. I don't know why we (I'm...

The School of Discipleship "Disciple" isn't a word we use very much in churches anymore; it's not a word we use very much in general really. We tend to say "I believe in Jesus," but hardly anyone says "I'm a disciple of Jesus". In fact, I don't know if I've ever heard...

Drive Dorothy Drive!
“The Lord only knows with certainty where my great-aunt is today, nevertheless, my mum and I are hopeful. We were especially encouraged by her funeral arrangements which she had organised herself, as she had changed the hymns last minute to include “Amazing Grace.” She left the car, Dorothy…”
