Sunday is always a slow day during lock down. We connected to Christ Church Midrand and participated in their Sunday Morning Worship service. As I write, the thunder seems to indicate that the rains are about to fall. Praise the Lord for that. Believe me–I just wrote that and then the lightening, thunder and wind […]
I want to give credit to our family in Naperville, outside Chicago, for the illustration and theme I use today. Every Saturday late afternoon, we visit them for about 2 hours via Skype. Today we tried Zoom, where our grandchildren, Nathan and Luke, and then our daughter and son-in-law, Angela and Roy, logged in separately […]
I am happy that as the weather cooled, I could miss mowing the lawn on Monday. This enabled me to get back to my Friday schedule … today. Because the grass is wet in the mornings, I decided to trim the bushes and ground cover along the house side. As I went along, my “trim” […]
I have been speaking about prophecy recently. Forgive me for returning to the core of this subject again. I have been counseling someone on an ad hoc basis. I did it again today via a telephonic link. He and his wife were divorced in December after a period of strife and trial. In listening to […]
I mentioned yesterday that I am busy doing pre-marital counseling. Today we dealt with the Biblical understanding of a wife and a husband. The Biblical material is extremely provocative and deep, showing, if understood, that marriage is the safest relationship to be in! Naturally, marriage is based upon love–true love that is not self-centered or […]
After my counseling session today, we had lunch, followed by a snooze and then a few phone calls. When speaking to a close friend, he told me how he put six eggs on to boil before going outside to do something. He said that suddenly there was an explosion, and, as a military man, he […]
I started a counseling course today for some folk. We spoke over Skype at length about five various issues. Three of them are: Wills This is extremely vital to have in place. Whether you marry with an Ante Nuptial Contract, or in Community of Property or in Community of Property with an Accrual System, it […]
Like most people, Jenny and I watched a church service on YouTube today. The message was a good one, with good exposition and good application. Whist preaching, the speaker said: “And Adam ate from the apple”. This is a common mistake people often make. I remember in our Children’s Church, the leaders would speak of […]
Today I want to tell you two stories about making dough. The first one is about a friend in Christ whose son brought home a 12.5kg bag of flower. Making bread for two people, this bag would last a long time. To our delight, she made pizza dough and had sufficient to share a sizable […]
Even before we became engaged, Jenny attended Tupperware Parties and started to purchase their products. I don’t know what the policy is today, but in those days every product was guaranteed for life. Now, in emptying the kitchen cupboards and sorting out the Tupperware products, we found we had far too many lids. In fact, […]
