French fries for God
Scorched hands, greasy fingers and slippery floors are the things that come to mind when I remember my time in the fast food industry. Little red marks would appear all the way up my arm from the oil spitting out of the fryers. And the classic fish'n'chips smell wouldn't leave my trousers after the third wash.

The most fruitful summer of my life
Our calendars are clustered with our great many plans. We fantasise about futures that we hope will come to fruition. We dream up these ideal destinies, quite sure that we know what is best for us. Ultimately though, we can plan every moment from dusk till dawn, until our dying day, but it is only that which the Lord has ordained that will come to pass (Proverbs 19 verse 21). Whatever He wills, will happen.

I used to care
As a journalist and more specifically a human being with a heart, I used to care a lot about the broken world around me. I'd see images on the news that would utterly crush me. People fighting, dying, making peace then deciding to fight again. Even here in my own city, the loneliness, poverty and addiction that I saw always troubled me. Sometimes I would make toasties for the homeless guys living outside our building. To sum it up, I cared and tried to do something about it.

Finding rest in times of pain
We all go through it. No one is immune to suffering in this world. We will all go through some form of pain or suffering at any point in our lives. A life cut short because of a deadly disease. Lives taken in motoring accidents or when a natural disaster strikes, depression, unemployment, broken relationships and the list could go on. It is well known fact that pain is a part of life.

What the day demands
This is not a time for weak leaders. Every sphere of life is now showing the gaping wounds left by a world gone mad with idealism and political correctness at the expense of reality.
