Taboo Topics: Vegetarianism – Meet Ashleigh Holloway
I quite like animals. Not in a crazy, dress them up like humans and pretend they’re people kinda way, but I do like them. (Having said that, I definitely officiated at least one wedding between my dogs as a child.) But animals are great, and despite loving them [and praying that my dogs would go […]
Taboo Topics: Vegetarianism – Intro
i have a lot of good friends who are vegetarians. They are not a bunch of weirdos or hippies [as some non-vegetarians might presume] and for the most part if you met them as part of a group of people, you probably wouldn’t be able to pick them out as vegetarians. They are normal people. […]

‘i, church’ – i Want your Pictures and Reviews
Amici, peregrinos cives, date ‘i, church’ descriptiones vestras mihi Or, roughly translated, ‘Friends, Foreigners, Countrymen, lend me your photos of ‘i, church”. To everyone who has a copy of my book, ‘i, church': [1] i would love to build up my gallery of pics of the book so if you are up to selfie’ing a […]
Top 10 Movie review from my recent flight
So tbV and i just flew a pretty long flight with Emirates via Dubai to San Francisco [which is a much greater way to do it than our previous Cape Town Joburg/Joburg Dubai/ Dubai Washington or New York/ Washington or New York San Francisco simply because of less plane-changing] and, as always for me, it […]

5 Ways to Help You Realise that you May Just Be a Troll
People can be cruel. Let’s face it. You innocently stumble upon a complete strangers blog, offer a genuinely flavoured racist slur and call them a name when they respond a little too defensively, and before you know it they are calling you “a Troll”. Ow, that hurts, people. But what if it’s true? What if […]

Tandem Post: Tupperware Party
Meet Marci. Marci has a problem. 10.15am From the moment she recovers from the second round of playing Snooze on her Nokia 6510i, Marci has one sole focus in mind. “Not to be confused with the Nokia 6510!”, she always responds with a slight giggle when people ask her what model she has, and she […]

Blood Brothers: Part Genuine Forgiveness
This is a much longer extract from the book ‘Blood Brothers’ by Elias Chacour, which i do encourage everyone to read. Both as a glimpse into the Israel/Palestine history and situation, but also as a much deeper journey of faith and wrestling with ideas of God and kingdom. This passage it helps to have read […]
In Memory of the man i nearly knew… Ray Ferrer, artist extraordinaire
[i wrote this post a week ago because i wanted to get permission from Ray’s wife Rhian before posting it, but am glad to be able to share it now] UGH, Cancer. i woke up this morning to the news that an insanely gifted man i had befriended on the Twitterer had succumbed to the […]
Blood Brothers: Part Which Person are You?
This short extract from ‘Blood Brothers: The Dramatic Story of a Palestinian Christian Working for Peace in Israel’ really jumped out at me and i think speaks for itself: It was during our final spring days at Saint Sulpice that my kindly mentor, Father Longère, touched a deeply resonant note, like a voice out of […]

Pearls before Killing
As you all know by now, Pearls Before Swine is my favourite comic strip and if you ever have some time to enrich, you can take a look at a whole bunch of the cartoons i have shared over here. And usually he is just random or clever or biting cynically silly fun, but every […]
