Dad

I lost my father on the 24th of September 2008, for the rest of South Africa that day was Heritage Day or “National Braai Day”, but for me that day signifies disbelief, shock and a completely new existence. Nothing will ever be the same after that day: I will not be able to look at people’s sadness the same way as before, life will not be the same as before. After 24 September living in the present would be the way that I want to live my life. Not looking back with regret or remorse of what has been or of what could have been and what should be.

“Lente in die teologie” 2008 conference.

I consider myself truly fortunate on attending this conference, as it has awakened a lot within. Listening to Nataniel yesterday on what he has to say to the Church and what is expected from the church. I have decided on using some of his discipline in creativity and – because of today’s discussion on technology – decided to start blogging again.

I think that using this blog as a creative space, as a journal and as reflection on God’s journey with me, my journey with God and a general journey with life would be great in helping me to formulate what is going on inside my head and inside my life.

This is not supposed to be my journey alone, but also your journey as reader of this.

I hope this will be the start of great things, but sorry I need to go now as I am already late for a movie with a friend…
