  • Tales of the unexpected

    The temptation was too much. It was a hot summers day at university and lying on the grass sunbathing one floor below me were half a dozen engineering students.

  • Lifting the crust

    I sensed another miracle in the waiting. It was my turn to cook and being a poor university student on a limited budget, I had purchased some cheap stewing steak to serve up as my first effort.

  • A story of God’s precise and perfect provision

    God’s provision can come in unexpected ways. I have been in situations where I have experienced God’s favour and abundance, and I have been in situations where I have experienced lack.

  • The hall came tumbling down

    Our old church hall had been standing in place for close to 100 years. Once a place of honour, now it sat abandoned and dilapidated, a faded echo of its vibrant past. There were rumours that the only thing holding the hall together were the termites holding hands.

  • The miracle of the lost letter

    There have been times in my life when I have had to question where I am with God.  Am I still walking in God’s will for my life?

  • The age of skepticism

  • Quiet grace

    My boss was fuming.  Not at me personally, but at my department and in particular at one of my staff members who had made a serious error of judgement.

  • Wuhan we’ve had a problem

    Anyone who has watched the Apollo 13 movie will remember the famous line.

  • Generations of being bald

    My father was bald. So was my grandfather on my mother’s side. I wonder if my new grandson will inherit this trait.
