Finding the love of your life

Finding the love of your life

Have you found your prince yet? Do you have a crush on anyone? Why aren\'t you dating anyone? These are the questions I have been asked for most of my teenage life..

  • Exploring new frontiers

    The glass doors slide open. Humidity greets you as you walk into a myriad of sights and sounds. People everywhere. This is what I see as I take in the atmosphere of what is modern-day Mumbai.

  • Love is not a word

    The term \'love\' can be defined in many different ways by many different people. Secular society seems to redefine it however they wish—sometimes seemingly influenced by present trends. Whilst true love does still manage to filter through, the value of it becomes tarnished.

  • The Pope kicks a goal

    Pope Francis recently hosted the inaugural \'Sport at the Service of Humanity\' Conference at the Vatican. \"Sport is a human activity of great value, able to enrich people\'s lives.\" the Pontiff explained in his welcoming address.

  • Can we move beyond small talk?

    You go to the hairdresser. You\'re looking forward to a new look, the delightful head massage, and walking out feeling fresh and vibrant. But before strutting out of the salon, you have to engage in two hours of small talk.

  • Macbeth, Jacob and I

    In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth, the protagonist is led astray when three witches prophesy power and influence in his future—a power Macbeth yearns for so deeply he is willing even to kill for it. Throw the promptings of his evil wife into the equation and now there is nothing standing between Macbeth and the throne, not even his moral integrity.

  • How sweet the sound

    The lines in the old man\'s face softened as he listened to the young student play, small fingers sweeping gracefully across the black and white keys of the grand piano.

  • Ignore all distractions

    Prior to the Crucifixion, Jesus taught his disciples about His second coming and the end of the age on the Mount of Olives just outside Jerusalem.

  • Salad? I like my Steak!

    I\'m not sure at what time you\'re reading this, but depending on the time of day, you may be feeling a little extra hungry—I apologise.

  • I'm Christian: I'm not allowed to be depressed!

    What a load of rubbish! Being Christian doesn\'t magically prevent you from the human condition. In fact, being Christian likely means you\'ll suffer these things more. Why? Because Satan is trying his best to pull you from God.

  • The entire building pulses with life

    Friday morning\'s cafe shift was the perfect setting for a deep chat with a friend. We were talking about challenges of life, identifying that it really isn\'t always easy. How do people do life without Jesus?

  • In the face of persecution will you still stand for Christ?

    I recently read an article about China\'s ruling Communist Party launching a nationwide crackdown on Christianity. The government has introduced tougher laws that criminalise Christians who refuse to pledge their loyalty to the state.
