I was watching an interview with Sachin Tendulkar on the cricket coverage yesterday. It was interesting to hear what his life is like in India. He can hardly leave his home in India as he is so popular and people mob him wherever he goes. From the interview it sounded like he preferred to be [...]

It’s funny how people think that because you have a feedback form on your website that they can speak into your life and ministry.
Yesterday I got some feedback about our church website. They thought as a church we were being deceptive because we used some clip art pictures of people on the main banner. They [...]

On both sides of the issue has been a [...]

Perhaps I overreacted yesterday, but I was watching TV with my kids and an advert came on for a DVD collection. There is nothing unusual in that, but this one was about the serial killer Ivan Millat and how he went about stalking his “targets” and what he did to them. I was irate to [...]

It’s been great to hear the rain on the roof over the last month. It has rained more in Perth than it has in a long time. I think that we have even passed our monthly average rainfall. Something I haven’t heard of for a long while.
One thing I am conscious of as I hear [...]
