For the past year, I’ve been studying ‘Introduction to Children Services’ with a TAFE. Several weeks ago, I did work experience at a childcare for three days. It was a big change. It felt very strange spending your day playing with kids. And yes, it’s even harder to imagine getting paid for it...

What if his people prayed? Such a powerful question! Think about the walls that would fall down! Think about the power that we would discover! Think about how in-tune with Jesus we would become! What if his people prayed? A small two-lettered word: IF. So many things in this world have an...

Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Here are some interesting attributes of fire. 1. Fire purifies: God's Word...

The chains rattled on the cold stone. The fetters cut into his flesh. His world was dark. Where his eyes were suppose to be, were just hollow holes, devoid of light, unable to see. He rested his head on the cold stone wall. He was a failure. His people no longer had someone to stand up for...

Played the last game of the rugby league season today. I've got a busted lip and two really sore teeth and a sprained finger. Got snapped 36 - 12. From a team that was the form team at the beginning of the comp, we have fallen a long way. Oh well, still have the finals. Hopefully we can rectify...

Pieces of you, pieces of me, consisting of others Teachers, friends, coaches, mothers, and fathers. The older we get, the more we see Pieces of others, that make up today's me. Little things that we learnt from years past Little things to which we now hold fast Ways to do, views to see, ways to...

In Babylon so far away, On such a sunny clear day. There was so large a crowd An’ at a statue they bowed. But bow not, never will we, So before king, a brave three. “You won’t bow at the sound of the lyre, So I’ll throw you in the scorching fire!” Anger showed in his bushy brow, As he ordered us...

I can walk, I can swim. I can run– On a whim. But I dream, Of flying in the sky. In the air, Up so high. Not a plane, Nor thing known. Just myself– Me flying all alone. Just a wish; Just a dream. But in time that’s to come, Is a gleam. For Jesus will soon come, In the air I’ll soar. Oh...

The last competitor had been called up. The people in the stadium were silent as the eight athletes got into their lanes, waiting for the race to begin. In lane three, a fifteen-year-old boy, Jim Lewis, was crouching. He could feel the blood thudding through his veins, his heart hammering away...

Quaint little house, oh, so spotless white, So innocent, clean and pure, bathed in light. Inside this house, so cosy and fine, This house is my heart — this house is mine. Wherever the sunlight touches, quite clean, But in the dark shadows, demons unseen. In here lives a tortured man — the real...

I was cycling home today at dusk, and I was so worried that a car might hit me. You see, it was traffic time and I didn't have any lights with me. I hadn't anticipated coming home so late. Therefore I was on my bike with no lights at all in near total darkness. I felt like kicking myself for...

In EVERYTHING. So often we skip over this verses. It completely contradicts our human nature to give thanks for things that are ‘bad.’ The way some people explain this verse, you could be forgiven for thinking they say, “In all the good things give thanks . . .” It doesn’t. The Scriptures...

My life has been such a mess lately. I've had alot of heartache and have found myself really depressed. It just so happened that my latest troubles coincided with a low in my life! Such beautiful timing! Anyway, something that I've found really comforting, is a day before my world collapsed (or...
