Let Patience Have Her Perfect Work
With so much information out there, it’s hard to know who or what to trust. Survival instinct is fantastic for physically perilous fight or flight situations, but I would never trust it as the driver for higher moral reasoning or the deduction of the world’s deeply enigmatic mysteries. Such trust can only be given to one source for “we can only have one master.” …better make sure it’s the right source… Continue Reading →
I vividly recall the first time I–of my own accord and choosing–picked up the one piece of literature (the Bible), that many refuse to believe is a history book… Continue Reading →
Letting go of control is easier said than done. And if it’s just simply ‘said’ then it’s highly unlikely that it’s actually being done… Continue Reading →
Negativity can come from external, bad influences. But it’s not rooted in them. The more I get to know the humble, lowly, forgiving character of Jesus, the more I recognise that every single negative thought and emotion—without exception—is birthed by the ego; that place of self-envisioned self-importance that exists in every single one of us; that place that has the ability to deceive us into thinking we have absolute control over life’s outcomes.

Seek God’s Face – In October 2017, I wrote this church blog about my continuing journey of surrender to God and the Christian theology that comes with it. Continue Reading →

But in the horror, there is also great opportunity for positive global change, because such ‘unfair’ forces compel people to stop and meditate about life from a place of vulnerability, fragility, and fallibility. This can potentially reap great results that surrender ego, control, and power, leading to higher thoughts… Continue Reading →
Some of the greatest and most memorable lessons come with the faith one employs in travelling to a country where one is compelled through lack of experience to surrender their knowledge and depend upon something greater to live. Continue Reading →
…accountability aims at recording and highlighting mistakes so as not to shame someone or conceal the errors, but to learn from them and improve everything involved long term, thereby solving the problem entirely. Continue Reading →
With phones and internet, there is now an abundance of knowledge at our finger tips so that we are without excuse – so why do mistakes in organisations recur? Blame Culture. Blame Culture focuses on someone to blame, shame, and possibly punish in order to balance the scales. Potentially, short term needs are met and everyone continues their work, but the same mistakes will re-emerge; sometimes in a different form making it increasingly difficult to find a solution if the blame culture mechanic is in action… Continue Reading →
