'I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.' [Flannery O' Connor]

Why this blog?
The simple answer...
because I have things to say and my voice
sounds better when it is written down.
The variety of chair styles in the above picture represents the various walks and stages of life, cultures, backgrounds and places we all come from but signifying that we can all, under grace, and with grace, sit around one table
and engage with one another, sharing burdens, joys, perspectives and fellowship.
This is a personal blog...
The perspectives, thoughts and opinions are my own and informed from personal context, crises, conversations, concerns, characters (real or fictional) and Christian convictions.
I am not writing on behalf of any specific group, or organisation (secular or Christian).
My intention is to pen my thinking with heart and integrity and for visitors to my site to
pause | read | engage - to think biblically and critically and to have conversations where truth and grace have the final say. .
Any guest articles and interviews are published with the permission of the authors and interviewees.

'One who eats alone cannot discuss the taste of the food with others.' [African Proverb]
kitchen
'The measuring and mixing always smoothed out her thinking processes - nothing was as calming as creaming butter - and when the kitchen was warm from the oven overheating and the smell of baking chocolate, she took final stock of where she'd been and where she was going. Everything was fine.'
[Jennifer Crusie, Maybe This Time]
'This was why she enjoyed baking. A good dessert could make her feel like she'd created joy at the tips of her fingers. Suddenly, the people around the table were no longer strangers. They were friends and confidantes, and she was sharing with them her magic.' [Marissa Meyer, Heartless]
