Are Christians fooled by Jesus? Let’s ponder on whether this Jesus guy is real, or are christians all around the world duped by him? There’s a quote by Mark Twain that says, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they were fooled”. Once people have made a decision and invested themselves whether physically, […]

How can we hear God’s voice? “What does God want from me”? As a kid on the farm, mustering sheep was a dusty business, hot conditions had burnt the grass to a shrivel, and sheep’s hooves pounded any leftovers. The simmering heat matched our tempers; sheep were frightened by narrow gates and blustering motorbikes. We’d […]

Motherhood at Christmas Events to run, asking anyone For help, desperate pleas Oh goodness, lost my keys! Frustration high, memory’s low Where did I put that dusty halo?   Shouting, crying, chaos, mess A moment of clarity; lamenting the ‘Yes’ Present buying, kids whining, Tempers frayed as Santa takes centre stage Planning, execution, problems, …grace […]

As a kid, one of my favourite games was Follow the Leader. The wooden bench seats under the Peppercorn Trees made for excellent jumping; leaping from one bench to the other required skills.

One of the Kiwi’s says he’s going to get someone to build a retaining wall, the other New Zealander challenges him, “Do it yourself, get a couple of […]

Love people, not things I could think of nothing more devaluing to a person than being treated like a consumable product; to be picked up, used and shelved at whim or maybe in extreme cases even chucked on the figurative rubbish heap. I heard a story of a person volunteering to sell books on consignment […]

Helping Broken People Chatting to our neighbours and the topic of conversation focussed on the rough element in our local Main Street. They were relating the story of a man who had exposed himself while urinating in front of their children, whilst another man was shooting up drugs. This reminded me of a woman I […]

Divine Intervention I had started praying for my husband to find God. It was two years into my journey when God answered my prayers, but not the way I expected. I became sick for nearly a year with an overactive thyroid; fatigue, anxiety and heart palpitations were my constant companions. ‘I can’t, honey. I’m sick’ […]
