Purpose

(For every page's details please scroll down).

I am Kingston. Welcome to our space. Out of a deep desire we created this space, to create a gathering for folks who believe in Jesus and will also like to make a unique contribution to the world through creative personal projects.

Also, these are folks who in the face of the negatives in life, choose faith. These are people who decide within themselves to choose a different path.

I chose the word “We,” because I know my folks are already out there.

These are folks who somehow know that in a place of swear words, they will like to choose wholesome words. When faced with the left and right, will prefer the right. In a place of despair and hope, to cling to hope. Whether to choose to doubt or believe, will side with believing. Whether to give up the seat or not, know it's right to give it up for the elderly. Between anger and calm, they will be happy to keep their cool. Between light and darkness, choose the light.

We are not perfect, we fall sometimes, but we get up and keep striving for what's right. So if you are still working on yours and feel like us, feel free to come along. We all often need a hand.

But always know that at any moment, we have the power to choose.

And in this choosing, our chief tool is the Word of God.

Feel free to look around, read the posts, or simply say hello or ask me a question through the form below, at the bottom of this page.

Behave

Behave

A lady once had a friend of hers come over to visit one Saturday evening. Both had had a tough past week, and wanted to catch up on events outside of work, and to keep each other company.

She had dishes in the sink unwashed, and instructed her sons, Jack and Nicholas, to wash them first before heading out to play with the boys. This way the chore gets done, and her sons go out, and she spends time with her friend at home.

Both new their roles when it came to washing the dishes: Nicholas washed them while Jack wiped them off and placed them in the dish rack. But today, Jimmy, in his haste to head out for fun, decided to rush out midway through doing the dishes, leaving the remaining chore for Nicholas.

Nicholas: Mom, Jack's not doing his part of the dishes!

Jack was at the door when he hears mom's voice.

Mom: Jack, behave.

Jack, knowing his mom, all too well, and the possible consequences of his actions, returns.

My thought:
I am thinking of the word Jack's mom uses. Behave. I looked at it closely, what it means, and how it translates to all of life.

Be and have. That Jack had to be something to have something. He had to be in line, doing what's right first---doing the dishes---and having done that, have what he wanted---play with the boys.

A simple word with so much meaning, not only for the home, but for all of life. How was this word was formed, and how come it's filled with such sense for us all?

 Be and have---Be-have. Does it not cry?
