New Dimensions

  Something I could watch and not get tired. Hope you enjoy it like I did.

  “And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:27. We focus on the natural a lot of the time and wonder why these storms are wreaking havoc in our lives. We long for the peace that we experienced for a moment. A while ago I wrote about a storm: I woke up to a fight of heavyweights sparring in a ring above us in the heavens. Each thundering messages and challenging the other to a brutal fight for the championship, a real ruckus as I was disturbed from my sleep at 3 a.m. in the morning. That was in October 5 years ago . Just last week we had another one of those storms. My first reaction was to pray. I said to my wife,” Why do we always get these noisy, violent storms on the Highveld where we live?” I’m not particularly fond of storms, but they come whether I like it or not. In the mornings I usually spend some quiet time before the hustle and bustle of the day starts. It’s like an anchor to my ...

Today I visited a few people and arrived back at home at about 12:30 just after noon. When I stopped in my driveway outside my gate I was greeted by two very concerned parents. They were making very irate squeaks about something in the vicinity. I thought their behaviour very unusual but realised that something very drastic was wrong.   Being a very considerate neighbour I kept my cool and climbed out of my car to open the gate. The racket continued as I parked my car inside the yard. These parents were very irate. As I stopped the car I told my wife Maggie about their strange behaviour and as I got out I noticed two little chicks scurrying into a vegetable patch. By then Maggie had closed the gate and I called her to come and have a look at the chicks. They clearly belonged to the parents outside our gate who were worried that our dog would hurt them. Our first response was to call our dog into the stoop enclosure so that she was safely out of the picture. I then walked to ...

  Swimming Pool Nets - Saving Lives How fortunate I am to play a small part in encouraging swimming pool owners to ensure that their pools are safe. I count myself lucky to be involved with a company like SA Pool Nets and Covers that manufactures and installs swimming pool safety nets. Because of them hundreds of drownings are prevented every year. The owner, Louis, approached me in December 2012 to create a website for his company. Seven years of creating awareness regarding swimming pool safety. That's how I see it. The photo at the top of the page came to my inbox from Google telling me that more than 20 000 people have viewed the image since it has been put up on the Internet.  It's not the most glamorous picture but you can bet that it brought a profound message to the visitors viewing it. That picture and the others on the website together with the review I wrote for Louis' company have prompted many visitors to have swimming pool nets and covers installed in their po...

A post from October 2018 about my favourite client just came to mind this afternoon. The post that I wrote about what they did for their community attracted a lot of readers and must have created a lot of goodwill for that cherry picker company. During this time of COVID-19 lock-down it’s important that we remember such generous acts from people who care about others. SA Platforms, a fantastic client of mine, sponsored a cherry picker to assist with a power outage problem in the  Risiville/Three Rivers East & Property Community . They are people with big hearts and I'm proud to be associated with them. I have promoted their  services  before and this proves that SA Platforms is a community-conscious company that can be trusted to deliver valuable services at all times. Below is a copy of a message thanking them for their assistance. A HUGE BIG Thanks to  https://www.facebook.com/SAPlatforms / for sponsoring the cherry picker for BXC to use in ou...
