Remembering a friend: Rob Lloyd

Rob Lloyd. Tomorrow will be one whole year since you've been gone. And i remember. Theologically i don't know that i believe that you're up there somewhere looking down on me. But in every other way i feel like i often live as if that is true. When i think of you looking down on me... i am a better person i am more hesitant to do dodgy things [because Rob is watching and i [...]

Restitution: the beginning

Oh i went to this thing and stuff happened and people spoke and it was good. Excepting that it wasn't just a thing. It was the first ever Restitution Conference in South Africa. And that something like 21 years after our [...]

Come and Race with me

When it comes to things about race, i have been on a journey for just over two years. i have certainly not arrived and assume this will be a life long journey. But i did realise that i couldn't ignore it any more or choose to get involved if, when and how it suited me. Living in South Africa right now means that issues of race, justice and poverty have to be forefront in my [...]

Take offence better.

If you're never offended, you're probably dead. i remember hearing an excellent preach by my friend Albert, a Korean-American pastor in Americaland, on the subject of intolerance. He suggested that we are all intolerant, but that we choose what to be intolerant towards. If you believe in a clean and appealing neighbourhood or city, then you will rightly be intolerant towards litter. If you believe in the basic human right of living, then you will [...]

Whose notification is it anyways?

When i click on my Facebook notifications i see names of people that have written things i have not yet seen. Some of them make me sigh internally and dread clicking cos i just know it's going to be a fight or an excuse or a blame, while others make me do the interesting sound internally [is there an interesting sound? Something between a hm and an ah perhaps?] cos i think there is a good [...]

WIN 3 Books by doing hardly a lot at all.

i've been wanting to do this for a while now.

[2] Free by Mark Scandrette - with [...]
