Some people will disagree with my approach, though I did what I believed I needed to do on the spur of the moment. Then, when reading Paul’s account I felt so much better! Good friends of ours own a lodge and permitted us to make use of the manager’s cottage from time to time as […]
Although the stories are fiction, I used to love watching the “A Team” with our children on Television when they were small. Each episode ended with the good guys (A Team) coming out on top. The four in the team were Lieutenant Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith, Arthur Templeton “Faceman” Peck, HM “Howling Mad” Murdock and […]
We have heard of yachts losing their sails, motors and navigation accessories and radio equipment resulting in drifting endlessly at sea for weeks on end before being considered lost and search aircrafts being send to search for them. Some experiences are harrowing. You will recall Luke writing: Ac 27:20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for […]
When last have you stopped and asked yourself the question: “Who am I?” True, you have a name. You are registered with Home Affairs as a citizen of your country. You have an Identification Number and a birth date. You might be married or single or perhaps widowed or divorced. You may have children. Perhaps […]
It is a known fact that the world does not trust God. How can they trust Him when they refuse to believe that He is! In the face of all worldly opposition, are you able to trust the God of the Bible? When things really get bad, are you able to trust God? As your […]

Sometimes a journey does not pan out the way you would have liked it to. In the early 1990’s we travelled to Cape Town from Pretoria. There were six of us in a Mini Bus (like a taxi) traveling on the N1 towards Cape Town. Soon after entering into the Free State Province we were […]
If my memory serves me correctly, I shared a story on this platform a long time back about a man whom I knew reasonably well. Although not English, his English was impeccable. Although not educated he was extremely clever. Unable to take both children, his common law wife took one child and fled, escaping to […]
Have you ever been called a “Jesus freak” or that you “think you are holier than thou art”? I recall when I was converted to Jesus, some of those who were “previous friends” thought I had gone crazy. I would not hesitate to speak about the Lord Jesus to anyone, wherever it was. I had, […]
I really do not think there is a newspaper or broadcaster anywhere in the world that is able to distribute only good or positive news. Over the years I have referenced many (mostly) online newspapers from a variety of persuasions and have found that not one carries many good news stories because there are so […]
