God’s stamp of Approval!
Ink stamps mark documents… the ones above with German names look like an office set. The Gebucht one could be for stamping ‘entered’ on invoices. The Fur lhre Akten stamp could be for printing, ‘for your files’ on client’s copies. Historically stamps were used to validate articles. Kings and other nobles would have a signet…

NO REGRETS!
Wouldn’t it be great to wake up one day having not a care in the world and having no regrets about what has happened in the past. Just to live for the present unshackled and totally free. Okay, let’s be honest… we have all reflected on certain events in our lives. Those things we would…

Life in the blood!
There is something inherently powerful in blood, in human blood. For some of us, the sight of blood makes us faint. I recall my eldest son gashing his chin in a toboggan snow tumble. The Resort doctor had to cut in order to do stiches. I watched… then the doctor asked me if I was,…

Reaching your Personal Goals
1 Have you ever watched a Monstera deliciosa leaf open? It starts off as a long roll of green, then gradually unrolls to reveal a large, magnificent leaf characterized by those amazingly formed openings or ‘Swiss cheese’ like spaces. It reminds me of our human endeavours as we strive to succeed in various areas of…

God’s Justice!
We live in a world where people are constantly demonstrating for justice on some issue. They see themselves as the arbitrators of right and wrong and demand action to remedy the situation. Now I recall a childhood game we used to play using an old set of kitchen scales… those ones that had a set…
