God context

“This is the worst possible thing that could have happened. There’s no logical explanation for why this could have happened to me, why God would have allowed this. I’m lost and it’s unforgivable.” Sounds familiar, right? Often times we hit walls, and face moments in life that leave us lost and without the ability to process them..

    “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” (George Washington)

  • Wrestling with God

    Here I am, 32 years old with my last ten years a series of highs and lows. In the worldly sense I have not much to show for my life so far.

    Not too long ago, I was living in a third world country while working in a humanitarian mission organisation.

  • Coolangatta – Tweed Heads 4

    Tweed Heads has a very strong arts community. This spills over to the wider Tweed region with the Shire's Regional Gallery in Murwillumbah and to the arts-cape shops of Coolangatta and Kirra.

  • Troubled with Church

    My wife’s phone rang last week; a friend from a recently attended church calling her to organize a catch-up. Being someone we had also known from other church related activities in the past, my wife took up the offer for a catch-up. The conversations were targeted at why we were not going to church lately.
