Truth, Loyalty and Ethics

There has been so much emphasis on corruption, crime and suspicious activity that it seems that we have lost all sense of truth, loyalty and ethics.

Blessings? What Blessings?

Stunning views, beautiful fauna and flora, fascinating people and most interesting history were all out there waiting for us.

Where is 'home' for charity?

Charity begins at home. No argument with that but where is home? Is it only our immediate family or does it include our extended family as well?

Sharing the germs - let's be more considerate

Living in the techno-age brings with it so many different ways to share our germs. What generosity! What opportunities!

Learning to park my car again

When preparing to go for my driver’s licence test 41 years ago, I remembered having to practise over and over again to parallel and diagonal park.

Where are the boys?

There is a modern saying when a couple learn that they have a baby on the way – “We are pregnant”.

Decline in the number of marriages over the years

Last week Statistics SA presented the results of research which showed that the number of marriages had declined by over 40%. Why are fewer people getting married these days?

Retirement is a time to have fun

Being retired means that one can decide what to do on which day, what time to rise and what time to go to bed because there is no commitment to anyone else.

Are we too dependent on Technology?

Have we become too dependent on technology? Are we losing the ability or willingness to think and memorise?

Wisdom, wealth or both?

While in China, Annette Jahnel1 noted the accumulation of wealth by a few in a society which was not accustomed to it until fairly recently but the lack of wisdom in how it was used shocked her.

Life and death all in one month

December, the month in which we as Christians remember the birth of Christ on earth; a month of great celebration but for some also of real sadness.
