‘Men are not to be judged by their looks, habits and appearances, but by the character of their lives and conversation, and by their works.’ Roger L’Estrange The good book warns us to ‘judge not lest we be judged’. But that is in reference to judging other people. But may I suggest that we need, [...]
‘If you’d gone up the way you came down, you’d have come down the way you went up.’ Charles Spurgeon When one of Charles Spurgeon’s students proudly stepped up to preach, but came back down failing miserably, Spurgeon supposedly said something like, ‘If you’d gone up the way you came down, you’d have come down [...]
Life never happens in a straight line. Do you agree? Zig-zag progression tends to be the way things come to pass. Well at least that’s my experience to date. Life is more like a yacht race, rather than a straight out sprint. Daily you have to respond to the winds of change that occur in [...]
