Driving home from church one Sunday, my sister and I discussed an interesting topic. In essence, it was about what stories and marvels captivate our attention. What kind of hero is the world attracted to? We have so much adventure in our world – a myriad of skills, hobbies, workplaces, challenges, travels and more. Out … More Hero Beyond Recognition
Why is the world so discontented? Wants and wills dance around the disquieted souls of the living. The rich want to be poor, the poor want to be rich.

I have been looking forward to my month of nights covering the pediatric ward and it hasn’t disappointed. There’s something really special about being awake and engaged with the Lord at night.

Adelaide is getting a little less chilly, and the sun came out the other day. Despite what everyone had been telling us about nearby walking trails and giant mansions, my husband and I had never really explored the part further down our suburb (and we’ve been in our home for over a year…) Seeing as … More Image of the Church P2: Built to Stand
