Homeless people don't scare me

I'm not frightened of homeless people. Actually I kind of like some of them I\'ve met. Once you get past the stench of old clothes and body odour, most are actually quite pleasant. For the last three years, I've helped out at a local community lunch where I've met some of the most interesting and big-hearted people around. .

  • Holiday back to China - 2

    My wife and I spent 3 weeks together in Chongqing, our hometown. Our families and friends treated us so well that we did not want to return to our own home in Australia. During our sojourn in China, I experienced so many things, both positive and negative.

  • NBA Titles

    An age old question is about to be answered

  • Don't answer to the voice of anxiety.

    I am the voice telling you that you aren't good enough. I am the voice questioning your every decision. I am the voice of anxiety.

  • The fountain

    I grew up in church. It has always been a part of my life and it always will be. My father also grew up in church, which, I am sure, is the reason that I did the same. I went because I had to go, did I know why I went? No.

  • 28 inspirational quotes to change your life in 2014

    Would you believe it? Half of the year 2014 has come and gone already! A mid-point in every season is an opportunity to reflect upon the first half, digest the lessons learned in the changing room and prepare for the second half (Do I sound like a football coach?)

  • Man is forced to sell his business due to a private conversation, are we next?

    People who live in communist countries are very aware that they do not have the liberty of having freedom of speech. They know they can lose their homes, employment, businesses, friends and children based on what they say in private never mind what they say in public. In some countries like North Korea you can be rewarded for turning in people who have spoken or are so called "against" the state.

  • Facebook: some so far neglected considerations

    Much has been written about Facebook and the Christian. Most of what I have read though has mostly been written with a view towards developing an individual ethic, a kind of Facebook piety if you will, an important thing to discuss, no doubt.

  • Wine tasting and Jesus

    One of the things that I have begun to embrace about writing is the delicate balance between spontaneity and panic. There is a moment of cloud inducing, tear jerking insanity when you cannot think about what to write and contemplate reeling off a list of reasons why Jesus is better than chocolate, chips and chick-flicks….

  • Retreat

    So I have just sat down at a Thai restaurant in Ohakune, North Island, New Zealand. I have had a bit of a season of change recently and I have taken a few days to unwind, be alone, and hopefully meet with Jesus.

  • Is busyness all of God?

    Plain and simple, we live in a busy world and the question for my generation of young Christians, is this: Is busyness all of God?.

  • FAITH: What is it anyway?

    I distinctly remember watching four years ago that documentary, or should I call it propaganda, by that most famous atheist Richard Dawkins called 'The Root of All Evil.' At the time I was struck by the disparity between the Christianity I knew and the religion he denounced.
