I watched a moving video about Welcome Witbooi. His story is not intended for sensitive viewers or readers. Many considered the life he was living very dark, and that probably is a good thing. He was part of the “Numbers” gang in prison. He was high up in the organisation, a general. But his ascent […]
Read moreMy son winds his mother around his little finger. I don’t always agree and often remind her that she shouldn’t deprive our son of a learning opportunity. But soon I see him twisting her arm ever so slightly. A mother’s heart can’t do otherwise. If it’s flesh and blood, it’s different. I saw it with […]
Read moreTemptations are part of the package. We all have a business card and under our name, it says: Child of God. Such a shame that many of us are shy and hide the card from the people around us, but that’s a story for another day. We need to know is that if you have […]
Read moreHumans are group animals. Most of us like doing things the way the rest of humanity does it. We don’t like being marginalised, because it’s not that nice on the edge of society. It’s cold there. Businesses understand this human tendency very well, that’s why they use it to fill their coffers. That’s why they […]
Read moreWhen I was employed at the factory, sometimes we had more than 80 people working for us at a time. When you have so many people working for you, you soon start playing the father or doctor role and mediator yourself. I liked to hire deaf people because it was a job they could do, […]

Read moreWhere do you go when you need help? To someone in a position to help you, of course. If you have a health problem, a trained doctor is the answer. If you want to buy a house, you knock on the bank’s door and apply for a loan. If there are problems with the car, […]
Read moreMy pool is leaking. Water is expensive. Fortunately, I collected 40 000 liters in tanks. However, that water is for the garden’s drip system, and I know if I pump water into the pool now and then, I won’t make it through the summer. And it will cost a fortune to keep the garden wet […]
Read moreDave Pepler told Amoré on RSG about their tour to Rwanda, reflecting on the incredible experience. In 1994, the country was still caught up in a war where the most painful and largest genocide ever took place. However, the new leaders decided to turn the country’s history around and create a place where their people […]
Read moreMy mentor taught me that the first thing I should do every day is to meet with my Heavenly Father. First, I must open my Bible to hear His voice and then pray with Him. That’s a good suggestion, because one gets so easily caught up in the things you have to do every day […]
