Wisdom from the Proverbs of Solomon:


Prov 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Prov 17:28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

We live in a time of much fear and hype around the destruction of the world:

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come
2 Tim. 3:1

 And yet the very apostle who wrote the above message first said:

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Tim. 1:7

I am married to Vedette (pictures of my daughters at menu item 3 above) and attend the New Apostolic Church in Johannesburg. I also play the piano and organ, guitar (out of touch lately) and am a chorister.

I am completing a Master of Science degree (Information Systems Management):

 - the coursework is 90% complete and I  expect to submit my dissertation (Alignment of IM strategy to business purpose) sometime in 2000. If you wish to participate in an interview on the topic, or have input to share, please mail me on [email protected]

For the information of those who are organising the next Class reunion, I attended Fairvale Senior Secondary School in Wentworth, Durban. While on the topic of re-unions, there will probably be a reunion for the Koinonia and Oribi Weekend Trips during the mid-80's by the Wentworth District Youth, in September 2001.
