Two Things..
Two things happened this week that made me realise that my work is not in vain. Surprisingly I came across two people, one was a past client who happily shared with me the result of something we laboured and prayed for in the counselling room, the other was a long last friend who shared the result […]
Reflection : The Four Loves – C.S. Lewis
I’ve finally finished reading the ‘Four Loves’ by C.S. Lewis. I actually couldn’t put this book down initially but had other priorities that slowed me down in reading the last chapter. Here, I just want to record two quotes from the book that inspires me as it would probably take a whole day for me to blog […]

The man who lives without money
I am pro-nature, pro-community and pro-happiness. And that’s the thing I don’t get – if all this consumerism and environmental destruction brought happiness, it would make some sense. But all the key indicators of unhappiness – depression, crime, mental illness, obesity, suicide and so on are on the increase. More money it seems, does not […]
Called to Be: Our History
Life Questions God made us out of his pleasure and we are loved regardless of who we are right now, reflect on the fact though that ‘your history is not your destiny – you are now defined by eternity’ How much of your life reflects the patterns and scripts of your family of origin? And […]
