What images are brought mind by the word, “majesty”? I picture a crown, a great mountain, a rushing turquoise stream. These are things that cause me to stand in awe, to look up, and to ponder the One reflected in the wonder of earth’s jewels. Majesty invokes a sense of greatness, of something beyond us, … More The Meaning of Majesty
My old youth group encouraged JAM JARs (“Jesus and Me Just Actively Relating”) – spending time with God and journaling the testimonies He gave. I recently returned from a short Sydney trip and, travelling alone, I really appreciated my JAM JAR of life. It wasn’t just that God made the best travel companion and abundantly … More God with Us
[Ephesians 6:15] tells us to stand, “having shod [our] feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace…” To stand, we need to have a sure foundation; and to walk in step with the Spirit, we need to be prepared to follow where God calls us. I recently returned from a trip to Cambodia where … More Ephesians 6: Feet Fitted with Readiness
My sister and I just returned from a sister holiday in Japan. During our ten days away, we saw and experienced many things – all kinds of animals, a variety of celebrations, food and best of all, a real sense of the country’s culture. We met lots of people, made new friends, caught up with … More The Spirit in Japan
The clouds brightened for just a moment as my sister and I ran to the lookout. The rain and fog had tended to the valley all day, and was only now beginning to unveil its visage.

New Zealand is a beautiful country, rich with all sorts of nature and wildlife. Rocky shores dip into mirrored blue lakes, and evergreen forests form a windy ramp up to glistening glaciers. During our honeymoon in New Zealand, we’ve seen a nature that is ever changing, full of variety, colourful as a chameleon, and absolutely … More Bless the Lord O My Soul
There’s a song I love for its simple lyrics and simple truth. It’s called “I just came to praise the Lord.” “I just came to praise the Lord I just came to praise the Lord I just came to praise His Holy Name I just came to praise the Lord.” As I’ve neared the end … More I Just Came to Praise the Lord
I always find the country refreshing. Early on in my 4-week Naracoorte placement, I visited some friends in Mt Gambier. They too enjoyed being out in the country.
