  • Knowing God in 2019

    If this is the first blog or article that you've read about the new year, or how you should approach 2019, I'd be surprised. I'm well aware that, given that I'm writing this in January, the majority of people use this time of year to reflect on the year past, and set themselves up for the year ahead.

  • The Soapbox and a Good Story

    More than just a box that contains soap, the source of all knowledge(!), Wikipedia, describes a soapbox as a raised platform on which one stands to make an impromptu speech.

  • 160 Words and More…It’s a Dog’s World (PSI Best of 2018)

    Our Jack Russell dog, Oscar (1994-2006), when we lived in Moruya for 14 years, was a smart little chap and when the Canberra Times ran a story on our tourism ministry 'Australia's Bush Orchestra' the article explained that Oscar led the tourists along the bush pathways.

  • Israel in the time of Jesus

    The historical world of the first century Israel is fascinating to those who wish to understand more about Jesus’s life and ministry. Interestingly, there is a gap of about 300 years between the end of Old Testament and the beginning of New Testament in Scripture.

  • The Will of God in my life

    To be fair, I was never actually interested in teaching and it was due to two reasons that I eventually started my first year of a primary teaching degree in 2006. The first reason was, quite plainly, that my Dad told me to. The second reason was a science lesson my friend and I were asked to carry out for a class of Yr 3 students who were very excited to learn about microscopes.

  • The doctrines of grace—part two

    In my most recent article, I began to speak about the doctrines of grace, or five-points of Calvinism, known as TULIP. As a reminder, TULIP is a summary of the Reformed view of salvation, and stands for Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace and Perseverance of the Saints.

  • Stretch those muscles

    I was the kid who walked the school cross country, who stood on third base praying no runners or balls would come my way, and who was so uncoordinated the ’80s aerobics fad held zero appeal. And yet, over the summer holidays, I bested my super-fit husband in the great outdoors.

  • Wake up your creativity

    It’s 5:30am and although I’ve had little sleep, I am up with my alarm, getting ready to go to the flower markets with a surprising level of energy. I am generally not (okay, almost never) someone who ‘springs’ out of bed, but today I would classify my getting out of bed method as somewhere between a spring and a dishevelled roll. Not bad!

  • When it actually happened….

    Health warnings are like the safety procedures airline crew go through on plane flights. You half listen, and never expect anything to happen.

  • New Year, Same Mission

    It’s always at this time of the year that we start to make new commitments. We tell ourselves that THIS TIME we’ll stick to it. That gym membership is going to last this time, this year is the year I finally learn the guitar, and I’m going to read so many more books.
