One Thrift Shop Away from Success - They Rap What We Sow

One Thrift Shop Away from Success - They Rap What We Sow

Christmas is over. Phew. There\'s something about the commercialism and external expectations that seem so fake and void of the real substance of what we should be focussing on..

  • Naming Rights

    In a couple of short months, I will have made one of the biggest decisions of my life.

  • Riverbeds & raindrops

    I read Joy Cowley\'s memoirs recently, Joy Cowley is a very well known and loved New Zealand author with an absolutely firm and warm handle on the written word and storytelling.

  • Normal people

    We\'re always shocked when bad things happen to normal people. The terror attack in Sydney was an example of bad things happening to such normal people.

  • New Year, New You.

    Fun fact: We are currently past the halfway mark of Jan 2015. Yikes. Seems like just yesterday we were making New Year\'s resolutions and plans for Christmas.

  • The story of today: never too young

    For the past four months I have been part of a small church plant in the United States of America, and every week I had have the privilege of hearing testimony after testimony of the amazing work God is doing through this small local church.

  • If you had three wishes

    What would you do with your wish?

  • Where do you stand?

    Like churches worldwide, my church celebrated Christmas this past December. As a congregation, we read the Book of Luke, Chapter 2, which recounted Jesus\' birth in Bethlehem.

  • We will say 'no' to terrorism

    I heard the word \"terrorism\" for the first time on the 11th of September 2001 (now referred to as 9/11). I was still in middle school doing Year 8 in China.

  • Does God answer in the midst of suffering?

    Recently I read C.S. Lewis\'s last novel \'Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold\'. This book was written in 1956 and co-authored with his wife Joy Davidman.

  • Being a tourist in your everyday life.

    We moved to a new city when I was 4 years old. My dad was transferred for his work, and my parents knew we\'d be in this city for only a short time. So they set out for our family of four to live a bit differently.

  • It will get done - how to worry about what's in front of you.

    I was home at Christmas. It was a well-earned break, with the right amount of food, walks and laughs with Mum and Dad. It was enough to top me right back up to maximum charge in my very own computer game called \"LIFE\". I slept in late, watched TV and stuffed my face with.... watercress.
