Australia Day—a day to remember, or a day to forget?

Another January 26, another Australia Day—and maybe it\'s time to sit and reflect about what Australia Day means..

  • What's your word for the year?

    \'I\'ve decided to re-start 2016 on February 1.\'

  • Stanford: Rose Bowl Champions again!

    I don\'t know about you, but my year has already been made, and it happened on January 1, my beloved Stanford University won the Rose Bowl game for the second time in the past four years.

  • Practise breathing

    Breathing is important. It allows your nervous system to work. It helps engage emotion. It helps you to be more creative. But we don\'t give ourselves the chance to do it.

  • Security, peace and religion

    Our lives are always at risk, whether by the actions of other humans—as we have seen in the recent tragic events in Jakarta and Burkina Faso—or by simpler causes such as uncommonly tumultuous weather, as proved heartrendingly fatal in Sydney last week.

  • Blessed are the mourners

    Of the eight blessings Christ pronounces, half of them are to those who lack. Those who are without. Without comfort, without fullness, without safety.

  • Returning to Him

    Sometimes I think I\'ve got it. You know, I can do this all by myself. I\'m in control and I like it.

  • Abortion: legal murder

    Abortion. The word alone brings to the table many intense thoughts and feelings in people of all walks of life. But I feel compelled to explain my thoughts and reasons from a factual basis.

  • Political incorrectness and prayer

    When we look at our world, what do we see? Often our minds are filled with images of tragedy or terror. I stopped watching the daily news a long time ago.

  • Would you let the Essendon players in?

    So, imagine you are organising a local fun run at your church. The runners are paying their entry fees and ready to race. Then you see the 34 banned current and former Essendon AFL players sign up for the run.

  • Shine bright like a schnitzel

    Sometimes, I don\'t want to believe in Jesus Christ. I don\'t want to believe in his birth, death and resurrection.

  • There's no place like home

    \'There\'s no place like home,\' whispered Dorothy as she clicked her sparkly red shoes together in her bid to escape the strange land of Oz.
