SEARCHING FOR WISDOM
PROVERBS CHAPTER 2 Reading the introduction to Luke’s gospel in the Passion Translation Luke speaks of Jesus’ disciples being “loving servants of the “Living Expression”. This term is translated directly from the Aramaic text, the Greek word is “logos”, a rich term meaning “Word”. Simmons, the principal translator of The Passion, writes in the footnotes …
Wisdom is Calling
I have to admit, apart from the odd verse, I’ve never really read the book of Proverbs. It is only through a 31-day challenge I’m doing this month ,that I have been prompted to to read a chapter a day. The organiser of the challenge has brought great mentors and teachers of Kingdom principles to …

We travelled extensively within the eastern and central states of Australia, my husband needing to for work, so …

Living in Expectancy
My oncologist arranged PET and CT scans post-surgery for breast cancer, the request form reading, “suspected metastases”. This week is fraught with what has the potential to be anxious times.
