There’s a strange pain I’ve been noticing. Not the kind that is similar to the pain of failure, but the pain of trying to do things “right.” Strange thought. Right? Doing things right is, firstly, the implicit or explicit acknowledgement…
Before I say the hard part, I want to say the true part: I’m grateful. Not “caption grateful.” Really grateful. I am grateful because in seasons like this, gratitude doesn’t leave, but it has a clandestine way of just fading…
A journal entry inspired by the Facebook clip below. Watch then read my thoughts… It’s a bold claim to make that those closest to us often struggle to support our growth. This message was striking enough to prompt deeper reflection…

Same Body. Same Face. Different Man. There are many encounters in life that are just simple. You see someone, you recognise them, and maybe you greet them. The moment moves without strain because the mind and memory agree. There is…
