Today we went through to Klapmuts near Paarl to visit a friend who had been my Rector’s Warden for many years. Our friendship stretches for over thirty years and it was good to see him again. We met at a restaurant that is called The Pot Belly. I checked through the menu and settled for […]
Saul to Paul (Part 8)
In leaving Muizenberg this morning we visited family for about 30 minutes. They received us warmly with hugs and coffee. The fellowship was sweet. Then we had lunch with beloved friends of at least 40 years. They too welcomed us with hugs and a light lunch. Together with them we went to their daughter and […]
Saul to Paul (Part 7)
This morning after our online Church Service I went to a mall to purchase KFC and Pizza as our small family were coming over for lunch. We decided to do a finger lunch with chicken, pizza, meat balls, carrots, beans, a host of other finger greens, cheese, rolled pancakes, samosa, etc. Naturally the chicken and […]
Saul to Paul (Part 6)
I received an email this morning requesting me to move my trailer from the parking I put it in because there was consternation amongst the students as a student uses that parking bay. The number was 10 and in a similar email I was told to use bay 10 for my trailer. After pointing this […]
Saul to Paul (Part 5)
On returning to where we are staying we stopped at a placed called Snoekies where we purchased Snoek and Chips for Jenny and Angela and Hake and Chips for myself.

Saul to Paul (Part 4)
God uses different methods and different types of people to reach a soul for salvation. Sometimes He starts working in a soul years before the actual act of salvation takes place. Thinking backwards I recall how dad removed us from one Sunday School and placed us into another. I had a few Sunday School Teachers […]
Saul to Paul (Part 3)
I feel at times that I am the most spoilt child of God you can find! Have you perhaps felt like that? I hope you have. God has looked after Jenny and myself over many years, not only providing for needs but also giving us many things we felt we did not deserve. Some two […]
Saul to Paul (Part 2)
What are you able to remember about your conversion? Do you recall the date, time, place, circumstances and who shared the gospel with you if anyone did? Do you remember what happened? Are you able to share a salvation testimony with others? Is it necessary to be able to remember all these things? Yesterday we […]
Saul to Paul (Part 1)
There are those who are of the opinion that only those who are articulate, educated, good looking and from well-bred families may enter the Christian Ministry and be successful. For example, the one who has an MBA from Harvard University will be able to manage a Church well. That might be true as far as […]
Philip the Evangelist (Part 2)
In considering Philip the Evangelist we found a man privileged by God to be the first to preach the Gospel to the Samaritans breaking the Jewish-Samaritan barrier and the first to preach to an African, the Ethiopian Eunuch, the Minister of Finances in queen Candace’s cabinet. Yesterday we looked at Philip the man and then […]
