Treating children with respect – they’re people too!

Treating children with respect – they’re people too!

We were waiting for the elevator doors to open and a voice caught my attention. “What’s YOUR name?” .

  • I found my life

    One day I came across a very small, hand crafted volume that had my Dad’s name on it. It was a small collection of poems that Dad had written across his life, starting from his teenage years.

  • What is the Gospel?

    Last weekend our church had a Q and A for our evening service. I was one of the members of the panel, and we received many of the questions one might expect—questions pertaining to God, sin, sex, aliens and everything in between.

  • Relatively absolute

    If you’re Australian, you’ll know that that the national debate over the definition of marriage has been going on for years, and has now culminated in a postal survey vote.

  • What do you do when Faith doesn’t seem to work?

    What do you do when, for years you have proclaimed in faith, believed for God to move and held onto hope and the promise of breakthrough…only to be left facing choices at a crossroads whilst still being in the valley?

  • What the introverts in your Church want you to know

    Church as we all know is a very social place to be. Whether or not the congregation is big or small, there’s always chit chat to be had, and people of all different ages and backgrounds under one roof.

  • Pride and humility

    How do others see you? What kind of impression do you give? Pride is the unbalanced voice that plagues everyone of us, begging for admiration and acceptance.

  • The Greatest – The Hawaiian Ironman

    The Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon is the daddy of them all. It was the first Ironman in the world back in 1978. Since then “Hawaii,” as it is known, has built a reputation as one of the toughest one day sporting events in the world.

  • The question of equality

    In Australia at the moment, the high court has approved for our government to hold a postal vote to assess registered voter’s feel on whether or not homosexual marriage, or marriage equality, should potentially be passed as law.

  • ‘Boys will be boys’ – How boys can be raised to become rapists

    Most days in high school, whenever I caught the bus home from my all girls’ high school, another bus would drive past us prior to ours, which was a private bus for the Catholic boys’ school nearby.

  • Following His footsteps

    Thinking of times in which we see our whole life flash before our eyes might not appeal to some, but for years, it has fascinated me.

  • The living water

    While one side of the world is trying to survive flooding, the harshness of drought affects other areas. When our water tanks hit bottom for the second time in three weeks, there were no reserves.
