Imagine a time
When every lie has been exposed…
Just as trapped
I saw a short video a few days ago of actors in the street portraying a loud argument as a couple. First, the man pushing, shoving and shouting at a woman, and then the reverse. In the first portrayal, many passers-by asserted support for the woman. In the second – no passers-by came to support the man. For a 60 second video – this exposed and challenged previously subconscious assumptions to a disproportionate degree.
If a woman is screaming, demeaning, shoving or slapping, shouting and berating a man – why would I assume he’s not just as trapped as a woman in the reverse situation?

I just wanted to post the accumulated list of worship songs that have ministered comfort most deeply across my last decade.
He sings over me.
His song is with me in the night
– and I join the song in my waking hours.

Site changes
So I’ve had a little tidy up and among other things have changed the main banner, some site headings and added some new sections.
Don’t-cha love that teeny shell? Two sets of craftsmans fingerprints in one image!
Primarily though, the thing I’d like most to bring your attention to is the “Highly Recommended” tab under “Heartlife” above. It’s a little bit backwards to have a sub heading funtioning before a main heading – but hey. Backwards it is.
The Highly Recommended page is where I’ll post the best of the best that I’ve come across in some difficult life areas. These are the areas people most send private messages about.
As I said yesterday – I wish you didn’t need most of what’s here – but in case you ever do – it’s there. Abuse; Boundaries; Children and Porn; Freedom; Forgiveness; Love; Marriage; Narcissism; Repentance; Solo parenting Issues.
Have a look around and if you see anything that neets tweaking please let me know!
Stay tuned on the Heartlife thing… more news to come in time!
Kids & Porn – resource post
I don’t know if any parent is not going to find their kids
– either stumbling onto
– or being introduced to porn
to be an issue in the current media landscape.
Good fruit/bad fruit, everybody wants fruit

On a good and fruitful tree…
– God will prune fruit-laden branches to improve the quality of fruit on remaining branches.

RESOURCE POST
^^ This ^^ is a new Facebook group (just created this week) for the frequent reposting of information and encouragement for those with whom I am journeying in any measure – and to keep my own Facebook page a little clearer for more general friendship and sharing!

I don’t think Jesus is complementarian or egalitarian.
I don’t think Jesus looks like a white Dutchman.
I don’t think Jesus speaks Aramaic or English or Swahili.
I don’t think Jesus is Baptist or Pentecostal or 1st Church of the Thingumybob Reformed Thrice Over.
Soul Harmony
If the parts if the soul are: the emotions, intellect, heart, mind, will, desires etc then “soul harmony” would be a beautiful blend of all their voices joined in one song in perfect leveled tones.

This is not just a sweet little piece of prose.
Every line is a Rock-Solid-Knowing.
Do you Know them too – or are they just ‘nice’?
Do you know them too – or do you think you can’t be included?
