Mission - Gold Coast Airport

Chief Operations Officer for Gold Coast Airport Marion Charlton addressed the Tweed Heads Chamber of Commerce at a breakfast meeting and bought along some statistics..

  • The Wickedness of Life & God

    If you felt there was an element of fairness to life, it would only be a matter of time before that notion was shattered. Life is not fair. When I speak of life being fair, we have this thought that service to God is rewarded, evil is punished. Why should sinners succeed when saints suffer?

  • The childlike trust and faith

    When Isaac asked his father, Abraham, “Where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”  Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son,” and Isaac just trusted and put his faith in his father.

  • “Overwhelm”

    The season I find myself in as I write this article in the eleventh hour is a season of overwhelm. It’s not one I would normally admit to, but as I sit in this space it’s the only word I can use to adequately describe how I’m feeling without using a hundred feeling descriptions.

  • Groups are overrated

    As people are created from relationships and for relationships, it only makes sense for us to want to live with other people.

  • Famine in the Land

    If you are the sort to pay attention to world events (and I hope you are), you may have noticed a disturbing trend in the last few years, namely the amount of food to be found in grocery stores is lowering in various places around the world, including the USA and Australia.

  • Realism  (a philosophical difference)

    A surprising realisation came from the lips of Ric Charlesworth many years ago, the renown Australian hockey player and coach, a World Cup gold medallist from London in 1986, and coached Australia’s national women’s team, the Hockeyroos to Gold and the Kookaburras to World Cup glory.  

  • How to find true happiness

    In year 7, I went on a school camp. Besides lots of physical activities, we had to do group chats with our peer support leaders.

  • How to get over a breakup

    My boyfriend broke up with me in the last week of the last term of journalism school and it was ugly. I received his text message on a Sunday evening, and I spent a better part of the night crying over the phone to my best friend. The tears flowed long after the goodnights were exchanged.

  • Playing with fire

    I have always loved the book of Proverbs since as early as I can remember. Its isolated pithy remarks come together to form a remarkable collection of practical ways to live a good and God centred life.

  • Reading the Bible in a year – Episode 4

    In the famous words of the great philosopher Yoda “Do or do not, there is no try”. It is a phrase that has be running through my head this month.

  • How do I handle conflict with non-Christians?

    I’m only in my mid 30’s, but I have seen a solid quantity of conflict (some of which I have been a part of, most of which I have observed). From serious family conflicts, or workplace disagreements to petty fights because someone cut the supermarket line.
