It's a sad thing but I'm so aware of how fearful we are and how much security now features in our thinking. So we have razor blade fences, beams lighting up the garden - often caused by the cat - a cluster of safety locks and chains on our doors, and on and on and on....

Closed for repairs? I wish. Trouble to the left, disaster to the right, destruction below - perhaps sending this world in for repairs is a very good idea. That is - until we remember that "He's got the whole world in His hands." When we remember that, hope and...

This was just so cute it totally captured my attention for a moment or two. And then I got back to my own worship. And there is such good reason for big-time worship on my part: the tumor came out easily, there was a good bloodsupply making joining bits without...

I was going to post the pic taken of me in ICU on Monday - and my smile at being so well cared for. Then my physio sent me this - walking the passage with Brian the next day. What a journey - from being diagnosed with colon cancer on 4 October - to being prepared on...

Every day at 12 o'clock the noonday gun is fired from Signal Hill in Cape Town. Today as it boomed out across the city a couple of us videoed the shot. It was so loud we jumped - and our videos did too - as you can see! When I looked at mine I had to have a good...
