End Times Day breaks anxiously, tinged phantom gray, as smoldering clouds of Armageddon, brew. Whitecaps no longer chaste with foaming spume, for ocean’s tumbling waves are horsed with debris as they pound the shores of our ancestors land with scum and evidence of human waste; while oiled sea-creatures, sing a deathwatch hymn. Birds, caked in […]

Today I have come to the end of the questions generated by Rite of Passage #19 in my book ‘Flash of Silver…the leap that changed my world’. This will mean that we have finally reached Rite of Passage #20 and the beginning of an exceptionally dark period in my life; a time of great success […]

A Prayer Lord Jesus, Come and see If my Soul, My Spirit, All my Heart And Strength Belong to Thee. If they do not Forgive me, Please! Deliver me From me That I can wholly Worship Thee. And my deep love You’ll plainly see. Amen

Food for thought? Last week I tried to recall how it felt to face insecurity as I left the less than comfortable security of being a government employee for ten years. All I had going for me was that somewhere ‘out there’, there might be an opportunity to be paid enough to “bring home the […]

His skill, touches all creation, pledges hope, with rainbow oath.

Morning Glory Silver-gray dawning. Peeps from a nestling. Enthralling quiet, soothes, through the dawn. Silence; its softness, fills this rare morning. Time, seems to stand still, in tranquilities peace, Calm is my spirit drinking in dews cologne. Sun kindly probes morning mist with her light; as nature’s serenity; comforts my soul.

Food for thought? I had the great good fortune to be ordered to stop an initiative in the food services for the Royal New Zealand Air Force in 1961-62.  The details of that budget saving concept are in my book ‘Flash of Silver…the leap that changed my world’ on pages *111-112 and have no further […]

Magical Morning Magical Morning! His mirrored Creation. Mists apparition, give a heart liberation. Eagles, stand sentry, on solemn old timber. Fish make mouth-whirlpools, their silver scales shimmer.
