Awards Free Blog
I sincerely thank my readers for all the awards I have received on this blog. I have made the decision to become an AWARD FREE BLOG for two reasons. Firstly, my time here is limited and I prefer to spend that time writing posts, reading others’ posts and responding in comments. Secondly, as a blood-bought, adopted child of the living God, my aim here is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and testify of the reality of His blessings. I write as He directs and all glory is due to Him.I am a contributor at

A lesson from Socrates
In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem, and is still considered to be one of the biggest thinkers. Maybe we can learn a lesson from him: One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and … Continue reading

Part 3 – Hopes dashed and constant failure (I don’t deserve to live)
The “maybes” grew less positive each day. I couldn’t understand why my mother married Frank. He was a pain, but in those early days I didn’t realise just how much of a pain he would become or how much of … Continue reading

Part 2 – My third “father” and hopes for a new life
Life continued after Pierre’s “death.” I was ridiculed and called a liar at school and when I soon announced that we were now going to Australia instead of Canada things were even worse. You see, my mother brought Frank home.
