The Winter of Good Friday
Good Friday reminds me a lot of Winter. It’s the deep dark days that you endure before the season of new life. You would certainly describe Jesus’ death 2000 years ago as a time of Winter. His Heavenly Father lost a son His mother had lost a first born His siblings had lost a brother His friends had…
Which Screen Is Most Important
I admit it, I do occasionally watch reality television. There are only a couple of shows that I will like but I find them interesting and amusing. The best part about watching certain TV shows is when my friends are watching at the same time. Due to the wonder of technology I don’t even have…
Change Of Habit
I’ve recently had quite a bit of length cut off my hair. I wasn’t sure whether my round chubby face could handle it but it’s been so much easier to maintain while parenting a toddler. I had to laugh at myself the first couple of times I washed my hair. I piled up the shampoo…
The Burden of Caring

She did a quick assessment and then told him two things: Your back is strong There’s no snakes in the grass When my friend questioned her, particularly on number 2,…
Pet Store Truck Driver
This week I heard a story about a delivery truck for a pet store. It was driving down Hoddle Street. And every time it stopped at a red light the delivery truck driver would get out of the front seat, he’d run to the back of the truck and grab a plank of wood. He…
Go Back 10 Seconds
The screen on my phone totally shattered the other day. I have had this phone for quite some time and dropped it on many occasions. But I was foolish to allow my one-year-old to walk around with it. My sister had called and I was chatting to her on speaker phone. My one-year-old was being…
