FROM THE OUR
EDITOR CONTRIBUTORS

Time is a strange, constant and relentless thing. I thought of calling Waldo Malan EDITOR
it a ‘machine’ or a ‘monster’, but then decided that time is actually mediadirector@myriver.com
not a negative concept, or something to be feared. So I settled for
‘thing’. Depending on how we approach time, and how we deal Jayson Duncan GRAPHIC DESIGNER
with it, will determine whether, indeed, it is a friend or foe in our lives. graphics3@myriver.com

WEBSITE
The challenge all of us face is how we are living today, and also myfaithmag.com
how we will choose to live tomorrow. What is it that we will occupy

to ‘buy out our time’, and that we will invest so wisely according
to God’s methods that we will be astounded at the return. Let us No staff member, direct family or an advertiser and their
