Today we take the final step on the way out of shame, and into a life of permanent freedom. We have learnt that we are not condemned by God and that our identity is in Him alone. Today we will talk about something outside of ourselves: other people. We were born for community. Life was […]
So this week I a friend of mine, @Shamiso Madzivire wrote a lovely portrait of a lovely couple. Its challenging and inspiring; a bright light of hope in a world where marriage is a chore and a happy marriage is looked upon as a myth. And I just had to feature this post…
And what exactly makes a perfect Valentine’s day gift? Is it the price tag written on it that says you are special? And therefore a $300 bouquet of flowers is better than a $30 one? Is it the uniqueness of the gift? Meaning that getting her a tailor made dress is better than the one at Edgars or Woolworths?

So I found myself lingering My mind fixated on a vision alluring My heart with a bursting passion burning? And the glorious result of it all from my heart refusing to go What if instead of sports in our hearts, it were the women in our lives? That when someone trash-talked them; to their defense
So today, I am just moved a bit on the inside to talk about connection or intimacy, or depth of friendship-however one would want to think of it. It is something that I am not so skilled at, when it comes to talking about it and I think I could do better when it comes
It’s holiday season; Christmas in particular and I feel compelled to ask just a few questions; mostly to ask out aloud some questions and realizations that have been working through my mind. I honestly feel different this year, this season compared to any other period like this that I remember. If there ever was a
