Liz Hay rejoices in living in a beautiful part of God’s creation in a high country mountain basin; and she also rejoices in hearing stories of God at work in people’s lives. One of her favourite activities is reading fascinating biographies that illustrate the wonderful ways God works uniquely with each person.

  • Blurring the boundaries

    It’s big business, catering for pets. Not only is the pet food market worth millions, there’s all the pet accessories too. Now there’s an increasing trend of eating out with your pets, specifically dogs.

  • Independence is a myth

    This quote from one of the greatest 20th century scientists got me thinking:  

  • Sacred places in the ‘holy land’

    Recently I was standing and observing Jewish people visiting the ‘Wailing Wall’ in Jerusalem. The huge stones that make up this wall are very important for orthodox Jews, as these ancient blocks are all that remains of their temple. 

  • What’s in it for me?

    It was a brief video screening regularly in a national park centre. The video was encouraging young people to consider a career as a park ranger. Attractive young people in park ranger uniforms were shown in stunning natural environments doing a variety of activities.

  • A donor for a Dad – and other alternatives

    One of NZ’s well-known singers and TV personalities recently announced with delight she is expecting a girl. (All good, you would think.)She has twin boys from a previous relationship, and another boy with her current partner. (Mmm, that sounds a bit complicated.)

  • When it actually happened….

    Health warnings are like the safety procedures airline crew go through on plane flights. You half listen, and never expect anything to happen.

  • Embracing the real Christmas

    Yes, it’s that time of the year again, sometimes called the ‘silly season.’ In our part of the world, it’s the end of year wind-up, and amidst the frantic advertising and busy social calendars, there’s preparation for holidays, with Christmas squeezed in somewhere at the end of it all.

  • Myth-making and abortion

    The more something is repeated, the more it comes to be regarded as fact. Social media is one of the best ways of manufacturing myths and repeating them.

  • Into the Wilderness

    It’s there on the number plates – ‘Alaska: the last frontier.’

  • Blurring the Lines of ‘Human Rights’

    The media serves up some strange offerings. One of the latest is the decision to award the status of ‘personhood’ to a river in New Zealand.
