What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways. [Job 22:28] Easter is over. In North America, April is busy. It is the end of the academic year; exams and summer plans are priority. It was, after all, just the usual, annual celebration of the crucifixion. Imagine for a moment…

18. Day of darkness…marked in heaven.
We count life in days. Whether we like it or not. It is a fact. One day comes with light and ends in darkness. Good days feel short, bad days feel longer, but it is only an illusion. They are all exactly the same length – every minute to the last second. We rest in…
16. Sit down and talk to Me…
My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on Your statutes. [Psalm 119:48] We are always in awe when we hear the voice of God through His word. Faith becomes a listening experience above all others and a new mind, the mind of Christ Himself takes…
15. The mystery revealed.
Way, way back, just after the flood, God established a symbol of miraculous outcome when He flung the rainbow in the sky as the clouds parted and the rain ceased. I am still fascinated by the beautiful colors suddenly visible when the sun catches a prism somewhere around me. Sometimes the rainbow is a spectacular…
14. Digging ditches for the year
The future has always been a source of fascination for most people. The uncertainty, almost mystical element of time to come, is weighed and reasoned.

12. Let there be light!
Only One has ever said: I am the Light of the world. Out of timeless darkness and disorder came the voice of Almighty God – Elohim. A world emerged – bold and big and beautiful to the applause and admiration of heaven’s hosts. As the foundations of the earth arose to its mighty measurements angels…
11. Go on, open up – it is all yours!
Over most of the world the Christmas trees are up and on. Here in Canada December are marked by long dark hours and every lit tree makes a difference. In all the shops everything around the Feast of Light becomes more beautiful every year. It is with delight that I enjoy the wide variety of…
10. I’m still here…hello, hello…?
In this day and age of modern communication, everybody knows the frustration of a telephone or internet connection fading or becoming static and noisy. Before cutting the call and trying again, we call out: hello, hello, can you hear me? I sometimes smile at a Skype connection freezing the image in funny moments, or becoming…
9. That ancient chat
Words brought the world into existence, words flung the stars into space; words spoke the light into being and set the oceans their boundaries. Then God formed man from the dust, the woman from the man and spoke a blessing over them to give them authority over all things. Genesis 1:28: God blessed them and…
