Purpose
RSA Animate Drive
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Francois told me about this video and before I’d had a chance to check it out it popped up again via a Seth Godin post. An excellent animated presentation of a set of research and resulting ideas by Dan Pink that powerfully shows how visual can expand the impact of verbal. Share this Post[?]

A waste of the person you are
Thursday, March 12th, 2009Great quote suddenly popped up at the header of my Gmail page just now, and is so true! It is from Kurt Cobain and simply say "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are”. Couldn’t have put it better! Technorati Tags: Purpose Share this Post[?]
Getting on with life
Thursday, January 15th, 2009I met an old friend Kofi on the bus this morning.

Finding like minds
Friday, November 9th, 2007I keep finding it fascinating how God keeps managing to keep me ‘in the loop’. Sometimes you find yourself thinking on something and then out pops a conversation or article that goes and affirms what you’ve been considering. Of late I continually find myself coming back to God’s purposes for people, of how incredibly committed [...]
Pushing and running
Sunday, July 1st, 2007Yet again Seth Godin sparks a train of thought. Christians have spent their lives ‘pushing’ to see God significantly move their generation. Praying, working, giving, encouraging each other, always looking for the breakthrough moment. Organising event after event, going to meeting after meeting, seeing signs of the hoped for in the happenings of their time. [...]
Slow but sure
Friday, June 22nd, 2007I watched a fascinating programme on the geological makeup of the earth a few days ago, which described at one point the slow but continual movement of the surface of the planet. Kind of matches God’s working through people over time – it can seem imperceptible when you look for it, and yet when viewed [...]
