Does God make mistakes?

I am not a perfect human being and that goes for everyone reading this article. Every human being, including you, my sophisticated reader, has an inferiority complex. And most of us living on earth (just in case I have extraterrestrial readers) subscribe to a certain religion, and in that particular religion, we believe that the …

IT NEVER IS TOO LATE

I have a ritual that I perform twice a year to ground myself and lift my Spirit: I read my favorite book of all time, The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho, once at the beginning/end of the year and again at the turn of the second half of the year. By my estimate I have read …

The love of a lament…

There’s a current theme lurking in my heart at the moment. And that is lamenting. It comes in different scenarios- and it’s like the Lord is trying to open my eyes to an underestimated practice that believers should really get into the habit of doing.

Signing out – 2020

It is 20:52 at the moment, 8 minutes before the imposed curfew. It is a very strange experience to being at home, considering it is only a couple of hours before we say goodbye to 2020 and welcome 2021. I'm sitting on a camp chair, gazing at the stars and contemplating 2020 and 2021 with …

How about Now?

So we have arrived at that time of the year when most, if not all of us have started to create new year's resolutions and goals. I am also part of the gang, except I started thinking about my goals for the new year back in October when a friend suggested that the last quarter …
