Confession of need

Confession of need

Recently I have been attending a 1662 Book of Common Prayer service. Each week the service is the same, and each week we pray the same confession..

  • What do wetsuits, consumerism and child sponsorship the have in common?

    20 years ago I was involved in triathlons. The swim, bike, run culture, for me, was an extension of who I was.

  • Scarred sacrifice

    Every scar tells a story. As a kid I used to play games around the house, and one time I found a loose brick and ended up getting a scar across my forehead.

  • A sideways glance

    In my early twenties I spent a lot of money getting as big as I could. I spent about $70 a week on protein and creatine powders, and I was fairly obsessive about fitting as many workouts as I could into a week.

  • Outrage: Christian club requires members to be Christian

    These days it feels like people are just looking for a reason to be offended, to cry discrimination, exclusion, intolerance. Just turn on a TV program like The Project or The Today Show or Sunrise and wait only five minutes before the next \'outrage\' is discussed and dissected. It\'s exhausting!

  • The smorgasbord

    My earliest memories of buffet-style dining are very good! Seriously, what is not to like about a restaurant where you can choose not only which foods to have, but also the portion size as well?

  • Getaway

    Easter weekend was beautiful, relaxing and filled with utter awe.

  • A superhero complex

    We all love to save the day and be a hero, but when do we leave room for God to take the reins?

  • Flawed but forgiven

    Lent is a period of 40 days prior to Easter. Lent is observed through self-examination, fasting, repentance, and penance.

  • Plot twist

    A few nights ago my friends were watching the final episode of the Bachelor. Having heard a lot about this television program, I thought I would give it a go.

  • Sydney FC VS Guangzhou Evergrand

    I love soccer and I like watching soccer. It is an amazing sport, which contains a lot of uncertainty. Not always the stronger teams win, sometimes weaker teams (on paper) surprise. When two strong teams meet, there is a real contest.

  • What chapter are you in?

    Nothing says despair like waiting endlessly for a promise, prayer or desire to come to fruition.
