At home (that’s SA, not USA; although….), the politicians continue their frenzy of politicking. It’s great for them, i guess. They get to spend all their (paid) time to do what they studied to do (and perhaps the only thing they know how to do?): launch political strategies, talk about each other, spend money, campaign; [...]

I been biting to write on this for a bit now… piracy. Music, movie, software, whatever. If you illegally “own” it, it’s piracy. And not agreeing with the law is not an argument to support your position and justify your actions to pirate anything. Not even a TV-episode. This wouldn’t be such a huge problem, [...]

Uhuh… it’s that time of year again and exams are on the go. Now, at the beginning of the year, i was enthusiastic and was really looking forward to taking on all 8 subjects (part-time). Aight, turned out a little too ambitious, and i ended up dropping one a third of the way into [...]

This is why living in Cape Town (South Africa, actually) is sooo worth anything. We have these amazing indian-summer-meets-winter days.. oh yes. This is winter, folks. Hardly the Cape of Storms, although, don’t be fooled, we have our fair share and this year has been exceptional. But then there’s this…
and then…
and … ahhhhh

there does seem to be a particular glory bestowed upon the “rational thinker”. we can certainly pride ourselves in it when, either by delusion, reality or way of compliment, we are attributed with the phrase “rational thinker”. and as such, we perpetuate the idea that there is something superior to the art/skill of [...]

i used to think that the popular pasttime of South Africa-bashing was reserved for expats living, mostly, in the UK. but the sport has caught on quite quickly within our borders. sad, but true. you’ll recognise over-indulged sentences like “the government should have” or “those people” and “you see, i told you”. And more. Everyone’s [...]

it’s that time of year where we have opportunity to celebrate just two radical gifts that God chose to give the world: the law and the Spirit. in this day, back in history, these two gifts significantly changed, and continue to shape the world we live in.
now if you’ve got a culture of Judaism, you’ll [...]

it is ironic that the only people Jesus ever fought with were the super-religious types. here were a bunch of people who really followed the details of the letter but completely missed the boat. i guess they favoured the process over the people. and Jesus rectified that, but He also never said to throw out [...]

i guess it’s pretty shocking to open up the “papers” after a lekker weekend of busy-rustig and read about Kenneth’s murder and then carry on with the day “as normal”. Not like i knew him personally, but met him briefly after one open water swim here in Cape Town in 2005. In my own words, [...]

depending on many things, this word can mean a lot of things. and if you’re a post-modern western society christian [and even if you're not, but i dunno since i can only speak from one perspective here], the word prophecy conjurs all sorts of “special” things. being a propet just sounds so much more appealing [...]
