Dear smartphone, are we friends?

Dear smartphone, are we friends?

Dear smartphone, Are we friends or enemies? Sometimes I don't know. .

  • New clothing

    After a long day at work, walking home, head to the ground, I heard my name. It was the voice of a friend who I had bumped into. I had just left a shift where I’d made mistakes and was reflecting on them.

  • Will you walk 5 metres for the homeless?

    Major Brendan Nottle is walking 700+km from Melbourne to Canberra to get homelessness on the national agenda. I’m challenged to walk 5 metres.

  • The Footy is over, bring on the Ashes

    Australia, a country that has remained the same in name only, is slowly losing its reputation as a stoic nation, stepped in rich traditions and culture.

  • Christianity – animal maltreatment?

    In my last semester of law school, I selected 'Animal Law' as an elective. I can't say that I was interested in the subject. Rather, it happened to fit my timetable.

  • Culture: A time for everything

    Five years ago, I tied the knot at the age of 25, and 2 years ago a baby arrived.

  • Do we really need to share in the burdens of others?

    We live in a very individualistic society where it is socially acceptable to look after “number 1” first (yourself), and put others second, if at all.

  • New creations

    “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17

  • A collision of anxiety and future grace

    “In whom do you place your trust Emily?” Constant. But not intrusive. These were the words that echoed through my mind for three weeks straight.

  • Social action demonstrates the beauty of the gospel message

    I think the message of the gospel is beautiful, but at times I get accused, either overtly or indirectly, of misrepresenting or downplaying it.

  • Sunshine and a festival

    With summer coming around soon I was reminded of the Spring Festival my church holds for the community.

  • What I learned as a leper

    I’d traveled a long way, and Northern Japan was frigidly cold. I found myself inside a small gray room with thin walls, bundled up in my coat with the little ones I’d come to be with, trying to get them to do their homework and practice their English please.
