The Apostles’ Creed (Part 17)

It’s quite fascinating how people try to get to sit next to important people. Some have to pay to do this … the article read … “If you want a seat next to President Cyril Ramaphosa at the ANC’s gala dinner in Polokwane, you will have to cough up a whopping R1.2 million to have […]

The Apostles’ Creed (Part 16)

It is pretty awesome to fly overseas because of the height you travel at. If the weather is clear you can see the clouds below and often are able to see land in its various formations below. What is better would be a flight in a spaceship. I love to watch these crafts launch with […]

I made breakfast this morning and for a change I decided to do a recipe I saw on a Facebook clip. It’s not fancy but it is tasty and filling. I mixed four eggs together with some left over grated cheese, the last jam tomato and some green, yellow and red pepper pieces that were […]

Death is always uncomfortable to talk about, especially when the death was due to false accusation. There are many true stories of such deaths from around the world. Fabricated stories have been the reason for many innocent people being put to death in countries where either autocratic, dictatorial or despotic leadership was forced upon people. […]

I received a call a few days ago from a desperate lady whose 15 year old brother seems to be demon possessed. She is beside herself and in need of urgent assistance as the brother is a danger to himself and most likely to others. He is extremely aggressive, speaks to the “one” possessing him […]

The Apostles’ Creed (Part 8)

Who taught the baby to scream, kick and become angry? Wow … you may be thinking … “He is opening a can of worms now.” There is a Doctrine hated by many people across the Christian World. It is known as the Doctrine of Original Sin. Those fighting against this Doctrine deny that babies are […]
