Spiritually Fit
25.7.18 “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8 This year I am less worried about getting into physical shape than I am getting into spiritual shape. While it’s true, being physically fit isContinue reading “Spiritually Fit”
Shine a Light on Slavery Day – Feb 25, 2021
In 1525-1866, a period of 341yrs, it is estimated that there were 12.5 million slaves ripped from their homeland, Africa, and shipped out like cargo to the Americas. That is a heartbreaking figure and an embarrassing fact; a fact that has not left our current generation untouched. It is a wound that many people areContinue reading “Shine a Light on Slavery Day – Feb 25, 2021”

I do my best to always speak the truth in a loving way.Continue reading “A Habit of Hypocrisy”
Far From Hopeless
20.8.18 & 28.7.19 Pain, patience and sacrifice are not exactly my favorite things in life. But not long ago I used to get a little excited when things were a bit tough. Whether work wasnt going well, or someone hurt me or emotionally I was all over the place, I had a sense of anticipationContinue reading “Far From Hopeless”
Beautifully Broken
28.9.18 “If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person.” 1 John 3:17 I remember once, walking through the center of town in Tallinn. It was a beautiful day. The sun was just starting to lower, paintingContinue reading “Beautifully Broken”
