Piping in the haggis on Burns night. We had a lovely evening here in our communal home, with cockalekee soup, ale pie, tartan veggies, trifle and chocolate haggis - for those who didn't attempt haggis in its pure form! To our delight we identified our Cameron tartan...

I promised myself I would not post a video of this again. But Bloubergstrand so enchanted me on our walk this morning that how, I ask you, could I not? What was not enchanting was the delay of eleven cargo carriers in the bay waiting to go into harbour. But how...

This dark place just gets darker. If I mention Eskom every South African understands. My heart aches for those who are already finding it tough beyond measure, even before prices begin to soar even more. And then I remember I am God's project. There is no gloom too...

It is the end of 1963 and Jeanette and I take liberties with our uniforms on our very last day of school. Many years have slipped by since then and in each of those we have each known a tender steering unfaltering hand - Jesus never left us nor forsook us, whatever...

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...
