Online Ordering Makes Inconvenient Store Blues

I have to explain because the idea of not writing something about sport is new to me. Yes, I do write about other things. Like, who should be the next Batman after Ben Affleck..

  • ‘Escape to the Country’ is a sea-change

    The British television program ‘Escape to the Country’ has developed quite a following as it brings with it possibilities, hope, challenge, excitement, options and most of all we too place ourselves into the ‘sea-change’ mold.

  • Alignments Theology and Politics

    History reveals without too much difficulty that religious belief has been the well-spring of philosophical thought so as to engage in military conflict. The ancients let alone the Old Testament reveals this, as did Rome.

  • Heaven ‘n hell

    The other day I found myself talking to a bunch of sixteen year old girls. The conversation started quietly; I asked them about their faith, and what they believed in. That day I pushed myself to be a lot bolder than what I am usually comfortable with, so when a few of the girls mentioned they weren’t really ‘anything’ I pushed myself to ask the question:

  • The function of doubt

    One of the biggest tragedies that we can hear about is people falling away from the faith. It’s a kind of reverse testimony where people fall out of love with God. I’m sure many of us have heard a story like this. A lot of the times it happens when people finish high school and enter the real world.

  • Metaphors in Art

    When people ask me what I am, what I do, what I love, or what I’m passionate about, the first answer I ever think of giving is this: I am a writer.

  • Mens sana in corpore sano

    Over the past few years we’ve seen an evolution in attitudes towards mental health in sport. Where once upon a time we expected our professional athletes to be stoic in the face of pressure and valued toughness above most else, commonly exhorting players to ‘harden up’, we’ve come to understand the pressures that can be placed on people at the top of their field.

  • Distressed

    I think the call of God on my life means I am in constant distress. This is not an uncommon condition in the Bible. Moses and Elijah became so disturbed by the spiritual state of Israel that they asked God to kill them

  • The physical effects of the scourging and crucifixion of Jesus

    As an RSL Sub-Branch funeral officer, I get to visit many churches and chapels to do the ex-servicemen and women’s rites.

  • Being passionate for Christ

    I remember watching a video of a pastor talking about what a relationship with God should look like. His argument, dumbed down, was that a relationship with God should look like somebody who loves God and has a burning passion to follow God all moments of their life.

  • The Daigle Debacle

    I found myself driving somewhere the other day. As I often do, I had the radio playing in the car. I don’t pay too much attention to it, I guess it serves more to provide company.                 

  • What does it mean to not glean to the edge of your field today?

    Sometimes we read stories in the Bible that we understand in theory but struggle to apply to our lives today – this has always been the case with Leviticus chapter 23, verse 22 for me.
