I’m not a guy that you would describe as “good at sports”. I have two left feet, i get overwhelmed and confused a lot, and although i found that i am a very strong defensive player, that still doesn’t put me in the greatest players ever category. But I really enjoy sports. I like teams, […]
Read more "the economics of disappointment."Movember is an amazing fundraiser, that gets men to grow moustaches and get supporters to donate money to charities of the prostate cancer and mens depression varieties. It is a genius month. One that certain wives do not look forward to, and one that certain Jeremy’s love. and not because i think i look great […]
Read more "Movember. I am the king of the hipsters."I love walking into church and being greeted by a friendly old woman who knows how you make one comfortable, knows how to direct traffic, knows how to introduce you to the right people, and know how to crack a hilarious joke at the right time. I love being at church and hearing something new […]
Read more "Church is so good."I was sick and tired and impatient to be in a new country with a lot of fun work ahead of me with a new team and a new language and a new role. So this may have been emotional shock, but I’m shocked. I’m shocked by the ignorance of man to the goodness of […]
Read more "Church has Changed… But do we let it?"A weekend a little over a month ago was amazing. All of my family was there. My nephew, my niece, brothers, sisters, parents, and pets. The last time we will be together for two years. And it was funny watching us all tell stories, ask questions, giggle, snack, and retreat into occasional moments of introversion. I […]

Since December last year I have been technically homeless, staying with my parents a few weeks, in South Africa a few weeks, London, Amsterdam etc Then I was in Sweden for three months, […]
Read more "Home."The idea that the God of this world. The creator of mountains and oceans and pine trees and all the freaky critters that David Attenborough narrates in those amazing documentaries. The inventor of lightening and wind and fire. The poet that strung together hearts with emotion and passion. The idea that the eternal invisible maker […]
Read more "We are not for the church."I walked into a room of under 18 year olds. They were bouncing off the walls energetic and as I ascended the stage there came a strangely peaceful quiet. I sat on a chair and started to eat from a bag of lollies. It was a large trash can of sweets. Of candies. Of chocolate. […]
Read more "Share it!"In the last few months, the amount of ground breaking, heart revolutionising, mind blowingly awesome information that has assailed my head and heart has today ended with me sitting in a hostel with a blank page. I don’t believe in writers block. But I am overwhelmed. So lets start with some simple thoughts. The bible. If […]
Read more "Staropramen and the band of “don’t tell them I told you”"I love dining rooms. I have spent large portions of my life in them. With people. By myself. Being loud. Playing guitar hero. Eating food. Making food. Doing work. Not doing anything. Learning. Praying. Doing speeches. Hugging, Sleeping, drinking teas. Occasionally cleaning, meeting new people, reuniting with old friends and family. Playing board games, doing […]
