They will find out in the end, never fear, to whom their time, their souls, and their bodies really belong – certainly not to them, whatever happens.”[C. S. Lewis – The Screwtape… Read More Results of the battle between good and evil will fruit
Lockdown is starting to even drive the sane insane. The introvert to experience cabin fever and the optimist to experience some levels of pessimism. Change is the new normal!

Ek was die afgelope ruk vreeslik gekonfronteer met die taak om te wag. Nou vir my as ‘n doener kan dit ‘n ding wees wat soms alles behalwe die goed in my uitbring – verwysend na die jakkelsies wat onder die kategorieë val van ongeduld, spanning, onsekerheid en vurige woede. En as daai vrou wat… Read More Is jy bereid om te wag?

“Die vrug van die Gees, daarteenoor, is liefde, vreugde, vrede, geduld, vriendelikheid, goedhartigheid, getrouheid, nederigheid en selfbeheersing.” Galasiërs 5:22 Ek lees hierdie vers oor en oor.

Opgedra aan my Moskombersie in Bloem Hoop is ‘n verwagting. ‘n Vooruitsig wat tog maar soms gepaard gaan met menslike onsekerheid.

“My God, my God! Waarom het U my verlaat? Waarom bly U so ver wanneer ek roep om hulp, so ver wanneer ek tot U sug? Elke dag roep ek na U, my God, maar U antwoord nie; Ook elke nag roep ek, maar daar is geen rus vir my nie.” ~Psalm 22.2-3~ Almal van… Read More God, pyn & die Via Dolorosa
Vraat¹ [vrate] Gulsigaard; deur baie te eet, leer ‘n mens om ‘n vraat te word. Vraat² [vrate] Pelsdier v.d. martergeslag (roofdier bv. otter/muishond/das/ens.) ‘n bosbewoner met gevaarlike skerp naels. “Vrate word gemaak en nie gebore nie” (want ooreet is nie in die gene nie; dit word aangeleer).
