There are always those who don’t like the pastor of their Church. The pastor has not necessary done anything wrong, it’s more the fact they miss their previous pastor or perhaps the new pastor is confrontational in his expositions saying things they don’t like. Congregants at times would like to design their ideal pastor … […]
If you are a parent, are you able to look backwards to your first child being born? Do you remember the joy, pride and thankfulness? Surely this experience was true for Mary in particular and in a lesser way for Joseph who was the stepfather. Parenting is a joy but it carries many hardships. We, […]
Over the past few years we have seen drastic changes in the “Firm” in Britain—the “Firm” meaning the royal family with all its protocol, secrecy and inter-family conflicts. The top of the iceberg for us today is not Charles and Dianna’s divorce or her death … and not even the delinquent son of the late […]

Including today, there are three days left in the year 2022. At this time of the year many people will be thinking about “New Year’s Resolutions”. What are the things they ought to stop doing and what are the things they ought to start doing? Some use this time to decide which foods or “sweet […]
When last were you so dirty that you needed a complete, extended soapy bath or shower? I recall as a teenager, working as an apprentice Diesel Fitter we started off working on huge vehicles, doing all the dirty work. Invariably we would land up getting oil all over our face, neck, hair and onto our […]
The reason I started the Daily Note the way I did yesterday is because the true meaning of Christmas is never gone after Christmas Day, only to return again on the next Christmas Day.
