How best to love (us) idiots.

If one of my friends is being among other things, a loveable idiot, am I as his loyal and well groomed friend required to support him in his idiocy. Or as the wise and all-knowing almost \'yoda\' like the person I am, is it up to me to intervene resulting in undoubtedly better choices and results for him?.

  • We need each other .... yes, we do!

    In this world, although we have individual lives, we live those lives in community. No one can say they can live by themselves without others around them, yes taking into account we can do lots of things by ourselves.

  • Do you deny Christ? Or do you just live like you do?

    I recently watched the 2014 American movie: "God's not dead". One of its main characters, Josh Wheaton, is a Christian college freshman who decides to take up the challenge laid down by his atheist Philosophy professor to convince his fellow classmates that God exists.

  • Generation Y and the death of the modern day coach

    It was always going to be a clash of the Titans, a shifting landscape in global sports that has threatened to erupt over the past decade, has finally shows signs of exploding.

  • Don't rock the boat.

    I can guarantee you've heard the story before. It involves sub-zero waters, a sinking ship and a soul-crushing end to "one of the most beautiful romances of all time". The film attracted gold star ratings and as a result it suddenly became cool to pretend to be flying while hanging off the side of a boat.

  • Why I'll never look at a beach the same way again

    I\'ve always known there is no place like home, and that God\'s own New Zealand is a beautifully spacious and green country with everything you could ever want. Except for maybe European history older than 200 years. And maybe if you really wanted to park your super-yacht next to another thousand super-yachts on the Mediterranean.

  • I'd be New Age if it wasn't for Jesus - #2.

    If you believe that you can be reincarnated as a better person. Good one, that's your reality. The next person believes something slightly different. That's okay too, because in New Age, we humans get to create our own reality.

  • The Grand Finale

    There was once a little artist who had lived in a society that did not value art. He had a long journey to make and did not want to go. But he could not get out of it. When would the journey begin and end? Where would it take him? He had no idea.

  • Mona Lisa

    What do I mean by "Mona Lisa?"

  • END the mummy wars!

    I am throwing in the towel, or rather raising my white flag. I am done! That is right I have enough of the mummy wars. The truth is that I don't want to battle against you. I want us to work together old and young to help each other raise our children to be worshippers and followers of God.

  • Violence, mirth, community, and Christ

    You've probably seen those two masks strung together that symbolise drama, the one that is sad, the one that is happy. It's an ubiquitous sign of drama, immediately recognisable as it reflects the emotions we might expect to have upon watching a good show.

  • I'm better than a four year old

    When walking home from university one day, I took a shortcut across a muddy field next to a bunch of netball courts. There was a local tournament on, and plenty of life and noise reverberated off the clubhouse.
