Being a Design Engineer by profession, I work with technical drawings all the time. The purpose of a technical drawing is to dimension and define a particular part, giving instruction as to what it should look like and what size it should be. It seems to me that throughout scripture God is interested in measuring […]

I stumbled upon this quote yesterday. It’s definitely how I aspire to live my life. Being generous is part of who I am and it makes my heart happy to know that in this way I have been a small part of making someone’s life that little bit better. So often we can wait for […]
Genesis 6:16 “Leave an 18-inch opening below the roof all the way around the boat” When God told Noah to build the Ark, he told him to build it leaving an 18 inch window at top of it. Now there has been a constant debate over whether this was a single square window or more […]
Latent Energy – existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden or concealed It is often described as the heat energy that something needs before a reaction occurs or before things start to happen. Often we can find ourselves praying and fasting for things but never really see any change or progression. Ever been there? Where […]
1 Corinthians 7:8 “Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do” Since we are approaching Valentine’s Day, I thought it appropriate to write a post to all you single ladies (and lads) out there. No doubt there will be many people wondering why […]
1 – Beauty I love that she is naturally beautiful. What I mean by that is that she does not need a triple layer of make-up to look beautiful. I love how content she is with her normal and natural looks and doesn’t feel like she needs to hide behind make-up. A lot of girls can […]
2 Kings 4:34 “Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands…” How do you raise the dead? Well Elisha seemed to have pretty good idea, although it did seem a bit wacky and if anyone tried doing it nowadays they would probably get […]
1 Chronicles 11:2 “In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns…” The people chose David as King over them because he had already been leading them into battle. They anointed him as their leader because he was willing and already doing it. Even while […]
1 Chronicles 12:8 “Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness…” Read through 1 Chronicles 12 and you will see that it is the amazing account of David building an army of defectors. Warriors from all different armies came to join David in his battle to be King against Saul. They were […]
1 Chronicles 17:7 “…I took you…from following the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel” I thought David was a leader? So why would he have been following his flock. I know its good to follow some things (like me on Twitter) but really, to follow sheep? It turns out that the shepherd […]
I think with all of the teaching and advice about making new year’s resolutions we can often become quite hesitant to try something new nowadays. You get the perception that those earnestly making new years resolutions are looked upon as being silly or immature, because they are not necessarily doing it in ‘Christ’s strength’. In […]
Isaiah 9:5 “Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire” Every year around bonfire time, we heap up all of our crap, all of our unwanted possessions, all of our old and unwanted clothes and broken furniture, and we take […]
Isaiah 9:2 “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” I have always been a fan of action films, especially where there is a hero involved. It could just be one hero, it could be a whole group of heroes […]
