Have Faith

Who remembers Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where
Indie has to take a leap from the lions mouth in order to reach
the Holy Grail. He was forced to step into what seemed like
thin air above a chasm without the sight of anyway that could
With Paul suspend him, yet the clues that had been found said to have
faith. OK, I know it’s Hollywood but it was a good example of
trusting in something you cannot see. Of course he stepped out
onto a camouflaged pathway and crossed safely which was true
Take The Leap... to the film, but how about real life?

I have found that it is a good idea to trust in good and myself.
Everything we discuss in this section is always centred on By trusting in good, I trust in God to guide me to whatever I am
having faith. Having faith in ourselves, having faith in the Lord striving for. It’s comforting to me to notice the word ‘God’ is in
or whatever Faith you follow, having faith in others. But what the word ‘good’. Hmm...
does it mean to have faith?
But I also trust in myself. My own abilities and also the person
Believing in something you can’t see? Believing in the existence that God has created. We are amazing creations with the ability
of something without proof? Trusting in the word of someone? to accomplish so much if we believe in ourselves.
All of the above really, it means putting your trust into
something that you cannot see, hear or have any proof. Yes, I’m It’s amazing how much that is proved over and over again in our
talking about God. Nobody alive has ever seen him, nobody sporting world, in our science world, indeed in just our own

I could get very controversial here but I will try to explain what
I’m getting at in the only way I know how, through simple “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance

This article is being written by popular demand... of the boss,
to let you guys know why they call me the Magazine Mechanic.
Basically, I produce magazines. Simple really!

I’ve actually got a bit of a history of writing professional
magazines and newspapers, rubbing shoulders with many
celebrities and well know figures from Politicians, TV
personalities, Sports personalities, Authors and professional
musicians. The result has lead me to produce publications
covering general interest, veterans, motor sport, music, faith
and just recently, surfing.

You may know one or two of the mags I produce currently,
obviously this one, Have Faith, Write Away which I produce for
my partner along with Life in Lyrics and Songwriters Workshop
and my own publications SHAPE and NE Surf which I am
shortly to release.

In addition to these, as you may be aware from my trilogy of
recent article in this mag, I am also writing a book. And just
becuase I haven’t got enough to do, I’m also getting involved in
a Guitar business.

Funnily enough, everything I do is self taught. Graphics, prep
and production, layouts, print, online flip design, web design,
you name it, I’ve had to learn it. Hopefully, in the very near
future I may even get the chance to spend a little time on my
surfboard. Maybe by Christmas time, lol.
