Dance, dance, dance!

My awesome wife bought me a new CD today. Its Afrikaans, of an artist that I have liked since the first time I heard him sing. She laughs every time I make a silly move while listening to it, or if I change the words to fit something I am thinking of, all great fun.

In the Bible we are urged to dance before the Lord:

2 Samuel 6:14
David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might

Exodus 15:20
Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing

The Lord gives us joy. Personally, when I am happy, there is always a song in my head. I have to dance to that song, for Him. I believe its His voice talking to me, so I have to respond.

Let us DANCE!

The danger of success

There was a time in most of our lives when a simple thing like eating out was a big effort. We had to save up until we had enough money and then only go to places we can afford. To some of us this may have changed. So much so that my wife and I can dine out at least once a week. In many other areas we also do not lack anything. We are blessed and can enjoy life, although we do not consider ourselves as rich. What happens as we grow older is that we gather up more and more stuff. Our furniture increases and becomes more expensive. Our cars are bigger, as is our houses. We get so spoiled with the comfort and luxuries we enjoy that we blind to others needs. We are compassionate and show sympathy, but have lost touch with hurt and pain. The introduction might have been all about money and wealth, but there is more to giving than that. We give our money as we see fit, but is that all? What about our time? What about some effort? Jesus himself said that it is more difficult fo

Do not be an idiot

We are living in a rebel state Not since the transition from the apartheid government to the ANC governed democratic dispensation have we seen such a state of fear. The majority of residents understand that this would alter the course of the world significantly, while it seems other regard this situation as a holiday. See some videos below: I am not a person who lives in fear. I am not a person who easily critises either. I would love to think that I keep a clear perspective in most situations and that I am able to discern with great caution what causes human behavior. I love to think about what motivates others. In the our locked down state, who have a number of extremes: The ones who fear. People who panic shopped and intend staying not even in their year only, but ONLY inside their homes. Fortunate, some say, as they can afford to do so, negative, others say, as they see dooms day already. For most, quite a bit selfish. The middle man. People who obey the rules an

Be a legendary Comrade!

There are certain things in life that some of us would never do. Then, for others, they are so standard or essential that they can't do other than fully commit and ensure that they achieve this. What I am specifically thinking about is this past Sunday's Comrades marathon. I knew a few people that went to compete in the race, but I only knew one as a close friend. This was the third time that he went toKwazulu-Natal for the prestigious event. During both the other races he had to withdraw after completing a significant portion of the race because of injury. Although myself, and probably everyone that knows him, were very proud of what he achieved, his goal was not achieved, so he started training soon again. Training takes up probably 11 months of the year. They run half-marathons, marathons, ultra-marathons, and those are only the races. Four or five days a week they run 10 or more kilometres. Rest is maximum one or two days. One of these days it is the Olympics again. Th
