Mentoring

There is a plethora of information on ‘mentoring’ and I too have written on this important theme over the years..

  • That’s Not My Nativity Scene – It has a Dragon In It!

     We’re coming up to Christmas which is my favourite time of the year! As soon as December 1st comes round, my hubby and I pull out all our Christmas stuff which we haven’t seen for ten months and set about decorating the house and tree.

  • Don’t let your tail grow back again!

    We have recently been studying reptiles during our Science lessons. There are so many interesting reptiles. But what is even more interesting is the special traits that God has given each of them.

  • Mandatory

    There are numerous experienced Christian ministers in each denomination who have come through the mill of church politics, and in my view, may well be ideal to give an annual seminar to their respective denominational theological students in this damaging area of church life.

  • Thanks for the ride

    This really happened a few years ago, as I was heading on a long drive on a winding country road. Something caught my eye as I drove down the steep hill.

  • Am I enough?

    I think we all can, at some point in our lives, wrestle with the question, “Am I enough?”

  • The empty tomb has a clear case

    Sir Lionel Luckhoo, according to the The Sydney Morning Herald wascalled the “Perry Mason of the Caribbean.”  And that he was.

  • The kind God we are missing

    It occurred to me, that I have come alongside a lot of people in the “what should I do?” seasons with a similar tension. Is it me choosing and God blesses my steps or is it that I need to lay my life down and wait for God to direct me? God loves dichotomies because He’s never one for rules I think. It comes down to heart postures which is why hearing God for yourself and having peace with decisions is key.

  • A much needed resolve 

    A couple centuries ago, a very momentous event occurred. One that has shaped some Christian doctrines. During the Reformation, men considered leaders of the Faith, sought to reform church doctrines and practices believed to be inconsistent with sacred scripture.

  • A future ?

    As the Footplate Padre I am familiar with a notice board at a railway station, now on-line, a timetable is composed of a myriad of finely calculated time allotments between each section of line. The same calculations are done for freight trains.

  • Swipe right: finding the one

    It was February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day. I was going to visit my girlfriend to give her an early Valentine’s Day present because the next day I was moving to University. I had hoped February 13th would be a special and magical day. My girlfriend dampened the mood somewhat by breaking up with me.

  • Story changes when the prestige schools get hit

    Well, well, well  -  back in 1996, as a father of a HSC student in a country high school, I wrote to the NSW Education Department regarding my child’s lower than expected HSC mark which determined university acceptance.
