Throwing stones at Joel Osteen after checking it’s okay with Uncle Google.

i have called Google 'Uncle Google' for a long time now - i'm not sure why i do that cos it's very silly but it's become my thing [which is probly why i do that]. i guess one reason is that when someone asks me something i don't know i will either tell them to ask Uncle Google or i say that i will and it feels like bringing another person into the conversation. i [...]

a response to a nonny miss? part ii: Taking a look from the other side

To take an example: Brett, let’s be honest: your youtube videos suck. Big time. And I don’t even see the purpose in it. i am continuing with my response to the 'a nonny miss?' email i received, because i feel there are a bunch of things to be learned from it, which relate far beyond this simple email. the second part i want to look at is specifically that line 'And I don’t even see [...]

Taboo Topics: Abortion – meet Dani

I read the post from the friend of yours who is still in so much pain over losing her baby and it made me feel so much less alone. She puts into words so much of how i'm feeling. Words that I haven't had for the last 7 months. I had an abortion. I never thought those words would apply to me. But they do. I desperately wanted my baby. But the doctors told me [...]

Taboo Topics: Losing a baby: For those who are not the person who has gone through it.

i thought i was finished with this series on people who have lost a child and then i received this email from a friend of mine who lost a baby. i knew this was one more to be shared and i imagine it will impact a lot of people deeply. i want to encourage those of you who read it to refrain from doing what we often do when hearing someone's story - justifying, rationalising, [...]

the one about the holding of your tongue

i write a weekly email message called 'Thort for the Week' and i thort this week's was an appropriate one to add here: Dear friends “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My [...]

coffees with john of ellis

so as part of a pretty incredible weekend up in the kwazulu of natal i managed to get some coffee time with john ellis (formerly of tree63 and 'john ellis has hung up his cross and become a giant piece of plasticine' fame) to hear his version of where he is at and whether he still loves Jesus (he does, whoops i hope that wasn't one of the 'between you and me' moments we shared, [...]

the malzumbenray files part judging the (tangled) knot

THE SETUP so i have been thinking about this quite a lot lately, especially after i received a mail immediately after my last you-got-to-be-kidding-malema post from my friend mel lovingly rebuking me or at the very least challenging me on my bash-the-leader stance [if the Bible says respect and pray for your leaders who God has putten over you...] which was really great and a whole thort in itself [the confrontation from Mel i mean, [...]

judge not lest.

so i have decided to try and be less judging of people this year - i think a couple of times this last year it hit me how judgemental i have become - i don't think i used to be that way but definitely an area i want to work on - i guess this last week nailed it home as i attended a funeral (my best mates mom in law) and a wedding (our [...]
