Blake & 7 cows that change a nation!

Australia has been afflicted and ravaged by so many disasters over the past two years. Drought, floods, bushfires and then COVID-19 outbreak with its consequent economic devastation. Have you wondered what God is doing or saying through it all? Has God abandoned us; can we do anything? I believe he wants us to be full of hope. Let me share my journey..

    Since I am married, singleness may seem like a strange topic for me to be writing about but there are two reasons I am.

  • You Race with Horses Now

    I once dreamt of Elijah running with the horses. The stallions’ manes were swept back in the fierce gallop, and with each thundering stride their muscles rippled beneath glistening coats, like silk swaying in the wind.

  • Bush fires

    One thing on our mind are bush fires after last summer. Bushfires have already been in the news in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. This is repeated again and again year after year. Bush fires struck the Midge Point area in early October where the Laguna Quays Respite cottage is located.

  • The Vicar of Digby alive and well  

    Entertaining items are worthy of air time. The late Dan Wooding of Assist News Service who was Christian media veteran and always on the pulse. One of the more entertaining stories he published was how The Twurch of England runs a poll for the Vicar of the Year.

  • The spiritual side of things

    In Kevin H. Brooks’ Thesis proposal he discusses apathy in the church and moving people toward a biblical healthy discipleship model. His research argues the statement – ‘A ministry filled with servants instead of spectators will help unify the body and more effectively reach the community.’

  • Embracing discomfort

    When I experience pain, my first thought is: make it stop! I would say I enjoy running, however, there comes a point towards the end of a run, when my body is going through a considerable amount of discomfort, and all I can think of is stopping. I’m doing something I enjoy, yet I’m counting down to when I get to finish.

  • Feminist lefties are selective 

    Are we fed up and disgusted with the feminist left. Dr Chesler is an emerita professor of Psychology and Women's Studies, a Fellow at the Middle East Forum, the author of thousands of articles, four studies about honour killings and sixteen books, including “Women and Madness,” and “An American Bride in Kabul.” “Living History: On The Front Lines for Israel and the Jews, 2003-2015.”

  • Show love, show extreme hospitality

    I was treated like rock royalty on my recent holiday to Singapore and Malaysia. Everyone was at my beck and call, eager to take my sister and me around for a tour of town.
