God’s character – an obscured climb, but a vista not to be missed.
To behold the character of God is a sight worth working for. Much like a great vista can be obscured by shrubs and rocks, trees and mist, the glory of God can be obscured by the world around us, encroaching ever closer to our eyes and putting us out of focus, even misleading us. GodContinue reading “God’s character – an obscured climb, but a vista not to be missed.”
Proverbs of Livingstone Rd
Like a bee returning to the hive, is every conversation to house prices. Beware the skin of the scantily dressed, it demands your attention but never gets enough.

Sleep – Creatureliness and Dependence
A little slumber, a little folding of the hands. Yes, hello darkness my old friend. Sleep is a friend. For some it is a friend who visits regularly.

The Battle of the Dandified
