A Pure heart...

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10 NIV)

No two persons are the same...

Firstly I would like to thank a friend for sharing this with me: Thank you Paula, this surely brightened my day.

Prayer for my son...

This is one of my favorite things ever written. Gen. Douglas MacArthur wrote this prayer for his son.

Gentlemen, how often do we pray for our fellow men? How often do we allow them to pray for us?

And how often to we lose blessings as result thereof? Man is constantly targeted by the world, and by Satan.

Parratjies

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began....

Honestly:

You heard statements such…

Blogging...

I will start getting the hang of things here, and will be able to properly blog again.

This blog appears to be way more versatile than the ones of Facebook.

I am however growing tired of Facebook, and will only keep it to get in touch with old friends, my main blogs however will be moved here.

Comments will be welcomed.

Regards
