In case you didn’t know, today is first of April – April’s fool Relax, have a laugh Don’t over do it though, but maybe also not the all-very-mundane joke. I was tricked by friends who said somebody was looking for me. I swiftly went to look for that person, could…
Rulers don’t rule. They give a factual declaration, the result is yes or no. The interpretation is up to us. Does the “all night” in Leviticus 6:8-9 suggest our worship ought to take so much precedence in our individual and corporate church lives as to last the night, or half…
For the moment it has an English name. Whircle. It’s a perfectly round shape thing. The name speaks something of what it is for – a wheel. A wheel which is in the shape of a circle. A new creation. It is the new that catches attention. Reinventing the wheel,…
We want to be people of principle, or at least aspire to be. What does that mean? It means our attitutde, behaviour, thought processes, choices, preferences etc. are guided by some kind of ideal. For example, my principle is to be a kind person. Even if the regular people I…
This page is part of a monologue. Relax, no need to read: it may not be useful for some. Let’s get to the point. It’s probably better I socialise “less” than more. A fundamental issue with my reluctance in socialising is to do with how my mind works, and this…

Leviticus 5 continues with themes of sin, offering, slaughter, blood, sprinkle etc etc. Sinning is going to happen. No one will say they have done (thought, said) anything wrong, or have not wronged others. Equally affirmative is that there is a way out when we sin. And that way can…

We can multitask – listen to music while working. Crossing the road – checking the traffic light, controlling walking pace and checking on-coming vehicles. Senses – we can feel temperature, sense of wind / air flow, and sense of smell all at the same time. Conversation – listening, talking and…
Does it get a little “boring” when something is repeated several times, almost in a single breath? The last section of Leviticus 4, verses 32-35, is the “forgiveness” formula that is repeated another time, having been already repeated several times for different groups or types of “forgiveness seeker”.
