Let me introduce myself...

Let me start by saying, I have discovered that I'm not much good at updating blogs. The bonus of course is that there will never be any irrelevant, ghastly drivle about my day unless I had a profound experience that I feel would benefit someone out there in this vast cyberspace.

What keeps me ticking day to day? Well, I am a Director of Photography amongst other things in the television industry. However, not even a dynamic, adventurous and exciting job like this can always get me out of bed in the morning, so I'd have to say that it's my purpose to live every day for our wonderful Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that keeps me ticking.

As you will see in my profile, my passions in life are visual communications through television and other media, youth ministry and education (particularly within our own country South Africa) and conservation pertaining to both people and environmental issues.

I will attempt to publish some food for thought in this Blog regarding contemporary, relevant and sometimes controversial subjects that I hope will evoke some sort of response from a couple of people.

More than that... is far too boring (or personal)

Unpredictable; Uncontrollable & Irrational

Oswald Chambers wrote, "Sin has made the foundation of our thinking unpredictable, uncontrollable and irrational..." This is so true of all of us every day. Why do you think we live lives absolutely disabled by stress and uncertainty? We're submitting to a kind of blindness that makes us less effective and productive than we're meant to be. Wealth, status, and even the question "What is God's will for my life?", blind us to the perfect path that God has mapped out for us. When we allow God to take full control and submit to the leading of His Spirit, regardless of where it may appear to be taking us, we will begin to see a more predictable, controlled and rational future for ourselves and so many we impact along the way.
