This week’s post is a catch-up post on last week’s, which I missed. I will, therefore, write another in the middle of the week to keep pace with these outputs. Well, it is important to “keep pace” as long as you are running your race and functioning within your God-given Grace. Keeping pace just to […]

I got a Father’s Day card yesterday and a box of gifts (all these on top of a delicious German toast, hot coffee and ‘jolly good fellow’ chorus). In the card, my children and dear wife had written some nice words, all very touching. My daughter, Destiny, in her note, had made reference to the […]

The zero to 5k course I participated in last year required us to run for a set number of minutes and after the whistle goes, switch to walking for a few minutes. We would do this in turn until the session ended. We started with running for a minute and walking for five minutes, repeating […]

The date was set a long while back. Now it is just round the corner. You doubt your preparation. You are at the brink of hitting the quit button. You want to run away from the challenge ahead. Before you do a “No Show”, let me encourage you with a story I recently heard. A […]

It is finished. When Jesus spoke these words on the cross, He was not letting out a sigh of relief because HIS pain had come to an end. He was still in unbearable agony as He laid down His life for the sin of the whole world. What HAD certainly finished was OUR eternal damnation […]
