As I said yesterday, it is amazing what you see when you walk. Driving a vehicle requires serious concentration, but walking permits spying out the scenery. So, I saw this queue outside a bottle store. It was rather surprising that the customers were elderly men and young women. Level 3 lockdown permits the sale and […]

A few days ago, the United States Supreme Court ruled that a law restricting abortions in Louisiana is unconstitutional. This was a landmark decision where Chief Justice John Roberts joined liberal justices in the 5-4 decision in a blow to anti-abortion groups. The same court struck down a similar policy in Texas in 2016. Once […]

Today was an extremely interesting day. As I started off on my walk I observed, that the traffic was so normal, no one would think we started level 3 lock down today. I decided to increase my distance to 7.5 kms and saw a man standing outside a slot machine/gambling house. It was coldish. Even […]

A neighbour of ours works for a man who owns a number of super markets. He is a refrigeration technician. Last week, he put a note on our street’s WhatsApp group saying the one store was selling 2kg bags of sweet potatoes for R10. To us, this was a great buy. Today, we decided to […]

Do you believe God can put the same thing into two different minds around the same time? On a morning walk about a week back, I started thinking about the possibility of starting a webpage for ministry. For more than two months, I have been writing daily notes of a devotional nature and recently have […]

The president has responded to the faith leaders’ request for the resumption of prayer meetings and worship services. From 1 June 2020, places of worship will be permitted to conduct their ministries under strict conditions and limited to 50 people or less at a time. Further, he has called South Africa to hold a day […]

As I was walking yesterday, I saw a man riding a Super Bike. He had a female passenger on the back … raised up higher than himself. He was driving respectably. Both passenger and rider were warmly dressed for the cold weather. As they turned the corner, I noticed that his passenger had long grey […]

I went into a hardware store to purchase some glue. I want to glue a piece of carpeting on the base of the paper roll cylinder I made for Jenny. The assistant helped me purchase a 1 liter tub of carpet glue. As I took it off the shelf, the container’s handle broke and the […]

I recall that soon after our salvation, we became involved with a federation of churches whose motto was “Thy Word Above All Things”. The two pastors who made a huge impression on me when it came to the Bible was Frank Retief and Alan Gray. Before they preached they would say, “Please open your Bible […]
