Theatres, recording studios, and even home media rooms have all had a lot of time and money perfecting the acoustics. From special wall treatments to ceiling panels, and probably a host of other "things" of which I have no idea! All techniques and tools to enhance the art of listening. The aim of bringing clarity, purity to the sound being made. I'm no… Continue reading Acoustics

I’ve got the joy!
This image, for me, immediately brought to mind the song "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart". It was a song I used to sing at Sunday School. In Church Halls we gathered around a teacher playing the keyboard or a guitar, and sang the words written on large pieces of cardboard. No… Continue reading I’ve got the joy!

We need to turn up the volume of the testimonies in our lives and in the lives of others. Reminding ourselves of our testimonies stirs our faith. It reminds us that God has provided for us, answered our prayer, healed us. When we are feeling discouraged or up against a wall, remembering the testimonies strengthens us.… Continue reading Turn up the volume
Choose your own adventure
As a kid, I used to love "Choose your own adventure" books. I loved being given the choice as to what I would do in the book I was reading. I must confess that sometimes though I would read 2 or more choices simultaneously as I was eager to find out where the different options took me! On reflection, I… Continue reading Choose your own adventure
