I went into a hardware store to purchase some glue. I want to glue a piece of carpeting on the base of the paper roll cylinder I made for Jenny. The assistant helped me purchase a 1 liter tub of carpet glue. As I took it off the shelf, the container’s handle broke and the […]
I recall that soon after our salvation, we became involved with a federation of churches whose motto was “Thy Word Above All Things”. The two pastors who made a huge impression on me when it came to the Bible was Frank Retief and Alan Gray. Before they preached they would say, “Please open your Bible […]
The highlight of the day must be the worship of God followed by the president announcing the move to level 3 lockdown on 1 June. He stated that our city (Tshwane) is one of the “hotspots” in our country. The “hotspots” might face a few restrictions. However, I am certain many people are delighted that […]
One of the favorite meals for breakfast when I was a child and when our children were small was bacon and eggs on toast. This normally happened on Saturdays, because there was more time for my mom or Jen to spend the extra time shaping such a breakfast. I skipped my walk today and decided […]
Whilst preparing breakfast for Jen and myself, I switched on and listened to Radio 702. I have listened to this station for many years, not because I enjoy the station but because they have a knack at exposing where the general population are at. Over the past few years, their morning presenters have changed. One […]
Today’s walk was so much easier. No pain and it seems my time had either improved or I had not read it correctly yesterday. 11.68 minutes per kl. I wonder whether at my age I’ll even manage to achieve 10 minutes a kl? Today is Ascension Day. This day comes 40 days after Jesus’ Resurrection […]
This morning yielded more or less the same temperature as yesterday, as I left for my walk at the same time to do the same distance, hopefully within the same time frame. There was, however, one difference … my legs were sore … maybe because I have increased my walking distance to 6.5 kl, walking […]
After my morning walk, we had breakfast, showered and went to the shops. We needed some food and Jen needed some wool to knit a baby jacket, pants and cap set. Once back home, we had a late lunch and, because it was 3pm, I decided to take it easy for the rest of the […]
There are a few ways to gift wrap a present. The popular one these days is the easiest and most expensive way … using a gift bag. The oldest way is to buy rolls of paper, be it for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, graduations, new babies, etc. It certainly requires a certain level of competence with […]
Today we went to church twice. First, this morning we joined St. James Church in Kenilworth, Cape Town. Mervyn Eloff brought a great exposition of encouragement that was also pointed and practical. His teaching came from 1 Peter 1:6-9. I loved the way he focused on our present joy that is based upon our future […]
