#LETMEINTRODUCEYOU

As I sit and reflect… Some of my great joys during the time here in Brussels have been seeing the men of the church gather to pray early on Wednesday mornings—before work; seeing believers gather to sing praise, and read, and pray, on Tuesday mornings—spilling over into the afternoon; and seeing the church come together … Continue reading Pray for Life

On Sunday, I visited the local international Baptist church. This was only my second Sunday with them during this visit in Belgium, and it is where I will be involved for the remainder of my time here. I have been grateful for the hospitality and warm welcome shown to me by the Body in this … Continue reading George

09/06/18 Recalled. Laying in my London bed.

I could talk about many things here, but my focus these last few minutes, while hearing … Continue reading Reflection on Eternity

Q2- Don’t you think you should settle? Q3- How did you become what you are? Q4- What does your retirement plan look like? Q5- Why do … Continue reading A Pebble in the Shoe

I’ve had this discussion with friends over coffee, while sitting in a corner shop, or while walking through tourist towns or seedy … Continue reading A Dog and his Homeless Man

A bride who longs for the perfect wedding day in May. A bride who longs for the collection of onlookers and participants. A bride who longs for the white dress and champagne. A bride who longs for the flowers, perfect pictures, and dance. A bride who longs for the new last name. A bride who … Continue reading ‘some bride’
