The dreaded dentist

You would think after enduring a mammoth and rather traumatising labour just a few months ago that I would have overcome all my fears and feel ready to face absolutely any challenge to come my way, right? Well not exactly in my case..

  •  Back in the news  -  'New Deal' – US or Aust

    Yes, it’s back in the news, and history reveals much and this is one such story - FDR's 1933-37 US 'New Deal' is a certainty in any history course (President Biden now) – and one wonders about an Australian ‘new deal’.

  • To infinity and beyond…

    As a 29-year-old female living through challenging times, I’d like to think that my infinitely expanding list of goals and bucket list accomplishments is highly within my capacity to reach.

  • Hero

    It cannot be gainsaid that mankind throughout its history has demonstrated a fascination and I dare say even an obsession with superheroes.

  • Where to store your wealth

    Chinese Lunar New Year fell on February 12th this year. I went back to my hometown to spend this traditional festival with my family as usual.

  • For such a time like this

    Dear God, It’s me.

  • A transformation from destruction to life: Your opportunity  -  MAF

    As the Second World War ended, most of those who had served were simply focused on getting back home, eager to rest and recover from the chaos of the past few years.

  • New ideas with a fresh generation

    Each fresh generation reassess their own situations and this appears to be one of them. A degree is not being seen as the be-all and end-all as their grand parents did.

  • Lifting the crust

    I sensed another miracle in the waiting. It was my turn to cook and being a poor university student on a limited budget, I had purchased some cheap stewing steak to serve up as my first effort.

  • Failures of the Faith

    On April 10th 2018 American Mega Church Pastor Bill Hybels resigned from Willow Creek Community Church under a cloud of sexual harassment allegations. This was surely not the way he hoped to finish his more than 40 year association with Willow Creek.

  • Loving the hard way part 2

    In my last submission I shared some introductory principles that I hoped would ground this second part of the discussion on loving the hard way.

  • To have less in our hands

    The kids were quiet for a tad too long. Anyone with kids know that struggle between wanting to know what they are up to and enjoying the silence for just another minute.
