For years I have been struggling with heartburn and have tried cutting out many things I eat or drink to try to lessen the problem. As examples I stopped drinking straight Coke, went onto decaf coffee, cut out chocolates, etc. and by and large this seemed to help … until I ate a pizza or […]
You might recall that recently we renewed our trailer’s annual license at the Drive Thru on the western side of the city. Today we went there to renew the car and bakkie’s license. We were eighth in the queue and in less than 15 minutes we were driving away with licenses in hand. As we […]
I’m sure you have noticed that many countries are returning to various levels of lock down … even hard lock down due to a second wave of COVID-19 infections. Our own Health Minister has warned about this in the face of so many people thinking they are untouchable, even going about without face masks in […]
Today we enjoyed a braai fellowship with a few beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. Although people throughout the world tend to roast chops and boerewors (sausage) outside over the coals … in South Africa, we call it “a braai” … and it certainly is a highlight meal.

There were the disciples, the resistant and those who were spiritual slow starters. I want to speak today about those who were totally resistant. These are […]
Yesterday I alluded to the pastor (preacher) being overworked when the congregation do not fulfill their role by deploying their spiritual gifts for servicing in the Body of Christ, for the smooth running and functionality of the local church. Today I want to focus for a while on the pastor (preacher). Many people in the […]
As a little boy, I learnt the proverb “a stitch in time saves nine” from my mother. Being a boy, rough and ready, always pulling threads or hooking my jersey, mom would say that to me. So many years later I find that I have not learnt that lesson yet! About two weeks back we […]
Today we travelled through to Izapa Bush and Games Lodge, about half way to Moloto along the Moloto Road. Our appointment was for 12pm. Being Sunday, the travel was easy as there were very few vehicles on the road. The reason we went to Izapa was to do a rehearsal for some friends’ wedding on […]
