Lament

I’m a self-diagnosed dates person. I remember dates as they are a way of thinking about what I’ve learnt about life and what progress I’ve made over time..

  • ABCs for Natural Disasters

    Natural disasters are not a new issue around the world. The flash floods alongside Cyclone Gabrielle which happened towards the end of January and in February in 2023 affecting regions in the North Island of Aotearoa, has not only caused damage to thousands of homes, vehicles and places but also taken some lives.

  • Can you imagine

    If you have never heard the song I can only imagine you could still be deeply moved by Bart Millard’s memoir by the same title.

  • Is the song Jerusalem Heresy?

    If you are not English and attend the cricket you will have heard the travelling English fans sing a song. This song is called Jerusalem. It is a defacto English national anthem of sorts. Possibly you heard it through an episode of Mr. Bean? Four Weddings and a Funeral? Maybe youtube it or just read the lyrics that follow.

  • Easter Symbols

    Easter must be on its way – or at least it’s what we used to believe but those buns seem to be on ‘special’ anytime from Christmas onwards. I’ve even seen them before Christmas.

  • Prophetic Testimony

    Visiting a then mentor, who had seen several revivals in Pakistan under his ministry, he commented that “prophetic preaching” would bring revival to Australia.

  • The better plan

    I recently archived a bunch of my photos.

  • History is repeating itself

    Lately I have been reading about the history of the Roman Empire and there are some scary parallels with today.
