Every one of us is on a journey. For every journey, there is a beginning point and a destination. Usually, the most excitement comes not at the beginning or end, but during the trip. In more philosophical terms, it is called the "Process." And it is during the process that we have the opportunity to find out what we are really made of. This is especially true and underscored when adjustments have to be made during our journey. The test is this: are we willing and able to "adjust and go" when plan A has to yield to plan B, or do we ignore the newest travel updates, stick to our plans, much to our own harm? Herein lies the challenge for the Christian who desires to listen to and follow Jesus: we need to have the right kind of mindset that can embrace transition. We need to experience an inward work of grace so we will make healthy decisions on our journey. We need to listen carefully to what Jesus is telling us to do, to obey all of His instructions.

Kedeshah was an ancient word used in the in the Hebrew Bible referring to a sacred prostitute, which is Mary Magdalene. Carpenter refers to Jesus Christ.Mary Magdalene doesn't mind her life as a Kedeshah; a high-class sex worker. But she yearns for something more. Through a charismatic yet substance abusive regular client by the name of Jesus of Nazareth, she believes the key to a new life lies in a partnership of theatrics with this lost soul. Using hired help and skills learned from an alchemist doctor, Mary invents a Messiah of mystery, a savoir who can perform miracles, and more importantly; an emissary to tell the disillusioned people of Roman controlled Judea what they want to hear. All for a small price.When jealous religious rivals, ex-lovers, concerned High Priests and bull-headed kings realize the growing influence of this remarkable one they call Jesus Christ, Mary battles the ballooning ego of Jesus of Nazareth and those who seek to have him disposed of. She must keep her masterpiece alive just long enough to take all she's earned and abscond to a quieter, simpler life.The Kedeshah and the Carpenter is the story of Jesus Christ with dark and inventive twists, using actual quotes and events from the Bible that are skewered to show a much different telling than the one most people are familiar with.

Home is the place in which you grew up, always determined to escape from. Then finally at journey's end, this same homeland is the safe place you instinctively ache to return to. Homelands is an old man's compilation of short stories sourced from the rich folklore of his hometown, the colonial village of Harding, in the scenic southern reaches of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. These historical tales are interwoven with his latter-day experiences of life in Australia, an adopted homeland in which he has never felt comfortably at home. Cut adrift in an affluent society built on privilege and entitlement, he misses the honesty and simplicity of his previous life. The delightfully eccentric old man, displaying signs of early on-set dementia and with an enduring taste for whisky and beer, catches a train into the city of Melbourne but on arrival finds he has forgotten the reason for doing so. Confused but philosophical, he limps off in a dwaal, a reflective, stream-of-consciousness meander, where various sights, sounds and big-city experiences trigger memories of those indelible stories from his boyhood homeland. Homelands is an immersive, provocative read, with a self-deprecating narrative that shifts from socio-political critique of both homelands, to hilariously funny (and sometimes disturbingly sad or sadly disturbing!) yarns and anecdotes on the old man's formative years in the old South Africa.

Most businesses, even some of the world's biggest, aren't deliberately designed but instead evolve out of an entrepreneurial idea, which is further tweaked over time - what I call an organic business. Most of us try to get by with such businesses - in Australia that's called "She'll be right", in other words whatever is wrong with the business will correct itself in time.That's not necessarily a bad thing, and it works out for some of us.
