MEN ARE THE CUSTODIANS
DAY 42/365 Everyday presents an opportunity to learn new things even about the things we think we know much about.

However hard you try, unless you ask, that body of knowledge might never come to... Continue Reading →
TIME SPENT IN HIDING
DAY 40 Mark 7:24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In the Gospel today, Jesus entered town and wanted to slip under the radar. But as we read, it was... Continue Reading →

354/365 I have been in London for the last week so making it back home today, I was surprised to see snow from about a week ago still unmelted. That was quite a scene and I had a few slips on my walk about. Apparently, there hasn't been enough heat from the sun to cause... Continue Reading →
THE KIND OF KNOWLEDGE TO PURSUE
337/365 Creating good recipes for any food item takes time and often multiple repetitions to perfect. However, there is a shortcut to apply when one wants to create 'a recipe for disaster'.
