Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

I consider myself a very organised person. Okay, so when my second semester of uni kicked in, I was well prepared with my colour-coated, weekly timetable set up. All my books ready, notes all written in order to get straight onto my assessments for the weeks to come. My course outlines were printed and filed into my book, and my alarms were all set for my 8:00am mornings..

  • Love Mercy: Olympics athlete Eloise Wellings

    Being an elite athlete is a brutal occupation. It requires determination, resilience and intense focus. This sometimes means \"life\" for an athlete can become all about sport. But it is incredibly refreshing when you hear of top athletes who both excel in their sport and display a life balance.

  • Christian dating: stolen by a girl at church

    I have met so many Christian people over the years who just want to love—and be loved in return—to share life with someone, to marry and have children, and grow old together. Their desire is to act on their God given desires to go forth and populate the world.

    The old Sunday school stories are often neglected with time, despite them holding key virtues to hold on to.

  • The arrival fallacy

    Close your eyes and imagine that for the last 12 months you have been saving every spare dollar towards your first car. Finally, you have the money needed.

  • Bitterness lost when we find the heart to forgive

    It can be very hard to forget the things that have deeply hurt us. It can even be worse when we\'ve been hurt by someone that is close to us. I have often heard of family members that go for years without talking to one another due to previous disputes.

  • Indigenous digital strategies

    It has been sixteen years eight months and eight days since the world sat up to witness the dawning of a new age. The year 2000 evoked several fears: computer programmers feared the Y2K bug: a complication in distinguishing the year 2000 from the 1900s.

  • Writings on the wall & hopes for tomorrow

    Recently in my home country there has been a surge or sudden, unexpected deaths. Some have speculated about the presence of lead in the water, while there were other conspiracies about people secretly being poisoned.

  • Jesus wasn't for gender equality

    Whoa before you get out the tar and feathers and start yelling at me hear me out.
