2020 – Surrendering my Life…Reflecting on 35 Years


It’s an increasingly tragic season of life.

Now the 1.4.2020, mainstream media reports are circulating that a 13 year-old boy has died of the Corona Virus.

Alongside the traumatised family that will be left behind from this harrowing news, the fear that this death will generate is going to be immense; largely because the reports reveal that this boy had no underlying illnesses or other ailments.


This factor about underlying sickness has been a form of respite for the world.

Now–with the fact that young people with no health issues are dying–it spells a deadly message; Corona can kill anyone.

Despite the increasing fear, panic, anxiety, and stress that has infected the globe, I’m still thankful because in my mind I have, ‘the peace that surpasses all understanding’ as a result of God training my mental faculties since I became a follower of Jesus five years and three months ago.

(6) The perfect family Christmas


1989 – 1990. Age Six.

I don’t exaggerate when I say these years were as perfect, innocent, and pure as life gets.

I hid from the memory in the video below for over 20 years, never watching it.

Last year–Sept/Oct/Nov 2019–I emerged out of a summer-storm in my mind about specific wounds from the past, that I’d not confronted (more about that later).

Facing the wounds, I was led to get all the family home-video cassettes converted to DVDs for viewing.

It was all part of healing and if you know healing, you will know that there is arguably a necessity for tears to flow.

I believe 2019 was a year where I released more waterworks than all the previous years combined.

For now, enjoy this clip below of 1990’s Christmas in the France family household.

Message from Jesus – “Be thankful to God for family and enjoy one another.”

Message from the World – “Adapt, learn, survive, compete, compare. Be suspicious.”
