Don’t get too consumed by the feature image. I don’t think you’d take well to a photo of the baby running through the house streaking everything in poop. (And neither will any of our children in a few years). So I won’t literally give you that image. What I will give you in words though are some experiences many of us have never known about until we went through them ourselves.

Our Small Obedience
Even the thought of Hebrews 12 with the knowledge of being SURROUNDED by a GREAT cloud of witnesses. All running together is beautiful to me. There is that resounding assurance that you are not alone. You are not in town among throngs trying to surmount the suffocating urban loneliness. You are in a race with others who share the same destination as you do.
Memories of Favourite Flavours on the Momentous 40th
Pretty straight forward. Brief reflections on yummy Vincy things I have little access to now as I celebrate the 40th year of independence for my beautiful multi island state St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Shavanare and Valuing Difference
Shavanare points out how many of us shape our perception of ourselves based on the perception of others. I believe as a result that to reverse this process we must begin defining ourselves by our own distinct perceptions.
Rest is not a Bad Word
The trouble with above and beyond reachers is that they do not know how to set limits and boundaries.
They’re pretty good at saying it’s fine while they’re 30% functional because they have enough in them to get through the occasion but have you ever gone to bed without charging your cell phone and then halfway through the day you’re wincing at the 10% on the blackened screen?

I’m sure there are moments when we declare:…

A Part of the Team (Jamaica Pt. 2)
In missions, there is no room for ‘I’ or ‘me’, not when the work to be done revolves around a certain Him. We are fit into what preacher John Piper calls God’s “architectural plan”. By our connection through the one Living stone Jesus, we are like living stones being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus
Jamaica, Land We Love (Part 1)
I have to begin this post with the confession that I am not a Jamaican. Nevertheless, I have been so struck by the wonder of the place, I wanted to give a tribute to a land I now love. Earlier this week, Jamaica celebrated 57 years of independence. That’s 30 more years than I have…
