I mentioned our friend’s lodge recently. It’s actually a lodge and a game farm. In the bush, the animals are at home and because it is a private facility they are largely protected. I would love to watch the animals grazing in the veld or walking past the cottage or going on a game drive […]
I am no builder or landscaper, though I have done a little of both over the years and by trial and error I completed my tasks. Yes, I made many mistakes and soon realized that without a comprehensive, stage by stage plan, what I did took longer and cost more money and time than it […]
I love the bush … trees and shrubs to me always look so beautiful. Recently I drove to a city some 20 odd minutes away called Roebuck and was fascinated by all the greenery … beautiful trees in forests, lush shrubs and lovely green pastures. Although I love trees, I don’t really know the names […]
Remember God is Sovereign. With the same Powerful Divine Word of Day One, God speaks and Day Two comes into existence. Just as Day One was preparation for a suitable place for man to live, so Day Two continues with the same pattern. Day Two is powerfully connected to the salvation account of the Flood […]

During the latter part of the 1980’s, certain parts of the then Orange Free State Province experienced torrential rains causing flooding. I remember visiting our friend’s farm in Glenn, along the Modder River. The floods created substantial damage to many farm lands, ruining crops and causing the death of many animals. What stood out for […]
We recently watched an episode of the reality television show Judge Judy where she heard a case brought by a babysitter who was not compensated for her work caring for a couple’s baby. In her resume, the babysitter did not inform the baby’s parents that she was incarcerated for crimes she committed. Once the parents […]
Our daughter Angela and her husband Roy have taken the huge step of building a house. It is part of a larger development of probably more than 100 homes. There are double story and single story houses and in each of these categories there are a few selections. The negative is that one cannot change […]
Our son-in-law does a cookout (barbeque or braai) on special occasions. He would braai boerewors with chops or steak. In tinfoil he would add corn on the cob or potatoes. He will wash the potatoes, wrap them in tinfoil and bake them. Once cooked, he would take them off the grid and place them into […]
