Relaxing with colour

Fed up with Facebook? Is your knitting in a knot? Has music become mundane? Well, I\'ve got a new relaxing pastime to spruik and the therapists are on my side; colouring in for adults..

  • A deadly purple

    A field covered in purple flowers can be a pretty sight, especially when the afternoon breeze wafts through, stirring up littles waves of lively dances. But it can also fill the heart with dread.

  • Violent non-violence

    I am a pacifist—in the non-committal sense of the word. I prefer the term \'peacemaker\' because it appears less passive, even if my peacemaking has been nothing put philosophical musings and heated conversations with Christians who believe in a more violent philosophy.

  • Lest ye be judged

    The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney recently echoed the call of bishops around the country for Catholics to stand firm in moral opposition to same sex marriage.

  • Relationship > Religion

    In church, society, and all over the media we see so many differing opinions about Christianity and the Church: Opinions over its structure, its purpose, its growth and even its impact from people within the church and outside it.

  • Dependent freedom

    There is a growing trend of striving to be an independent person, not needing to rely on anyone else. However, the truth is, as humans we are dependent—on each other and on God to keep our heads above water.

  • An everyday pep talk

    When my time of the month rolls around, by that I mean my article deadline, I usually write about a thought that has outstayed its welcome in taking up valuable brain space.

  • Our masks

    I\'ve done it multiple times this week. I\'m thinking you have too. I\'m not actually sure I can even stop, because sometimes this is all I know. Everyday, I don my most prized and trusted possession. My mask.

  • Honest reflections of rainbows and love hearts

    I hate this. Like a lot. My social media is full of talk about the US Supreme Court\'s decision, there are rainbows and hashtags of #lovewins but I don\'t see anyone winning because all I see are people drawing lines and arming for battle.

  • Greed is evil

    I am not sure if anybody heard the news about the Chinese Stock Exchange (CSE) booming in May and June, the index figure of the market has reached 5100 points from 2300 points within around 30 days.

  • Put the smartphone down and nobody gets hurt.

    I dated a man once who threatened to leave me alone at a restaurant if I were to ever pull out my mobile phone during a meal.

  • A walk through the desert can do us good

    Recently my uncle passed away and up until then, I had never known how it felt to lose a close family member.
