Everyone Loves an Under(Bull)dog

Everyone Loves an Under(Bull)dog

In 2009, work sent me down to Geelong. It was early October, and the whole city was literally covered in blue and white (and I mean the real meaning of literally, not and never \"figuratively\", no matter what the Oxford Dictionary might say is acceptable now - that\'s a betrayal I will never forgive)..

  • Electron

  • Wisdom from…Miranda Kerr?

    \'A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose. All flowers are beautiful in their own way and that\'s like women too...\'

  • Californian earthquake - Donald Trump prediction!

    There\'s been news lately about the earthquake warning given to California of the \"big one\" that may hit soon. The \"big one\" has been speculated on for a while, so much so that it inspired a big budget action movie, the 2015 film San Andreas.

  • Parenting God's way

    I am a big fan of listening to podcasts, as I seldom find the time now to sit and read through an entire book or search the Internet for countless hours on how to parent.

  • 'Time is money' is a rip-off

    I sat encased in metres of ivory satin, French lace and tulle, my hair coiffed and sprayed to perfection. This was it: my wedding day was finally here.

  • The atonement: what did Jesus actually do for us?

    Although it is only September, Christmas items are slowly appearing in shopping centres. We are drawing nearer and nearer to that time where scenes of baby Jesus in the manger will be tactically placed next to, and overshadowed by, the display of Lynx gift boxes we are encouraged to purchase for our slightly eccentric secret-Santa partner.

  • The 'what if' game

    Somehow, I often get it into my silly little head that praying is stressful. Trust me; I know it sounds backwards to me too. Yet, it\'s something I feel on a regular basis, especially late into the night. I\'ll crawl into my bed, shut my eyes, and start to pray.

  • Insignificance? Or a chance for hope?

    A few weeks ago on my flight home from Sydney, I was looking out the window at the view of the city below. I watched as the people, the city, the roads and of course the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge became smaller and more insignificant to my human eyes.

  • A blooming gorgeous garden points us to God

    Spring has well and truly sprung! And with it—at least in my suburb—mowers spring to life, residents don their garden gloves in earnest and green bins are full to the brim.
