Serious Hunger March 28, 2012

We’ve reached the end of semester and I have just handed in an essay, to celebrate, I escaped and went to the cinema on my own. I like doing this, I am not ashamed to say that I totally escape for three hours and my overactive imagination goes into, well, overdrive. Film du jour was [...]

My friend says November 17, 2010

Last night a friend told me this: It is better to be born twice and die once, than to be born once and die twice. I like it.

Uni-cool October 27, 2010

This is nuts. There is  a unicycle in the bike shop I work in, perhaps I’ll give it a go?

Beauty August 20, 2010

Let beauty be what drives us to compassion. A vision for seeing beauty, inspired by Christ’s loving gaze at his people, by God’s intimate knowledge of the hairs on our heads will sustain in us a heart for compassion. When we grow towards seeing beauty as God Himself sees it, we will grow in our [...]

Love justice August 16, 2010

Just been listening to this sermon by Tim Keller as I work my way through Photoshopping a whole bunch of dried fruit. On the subject of social justice, I really appreciated TK’s very practical approach to where we should aim our lives in service of Christ. I particularly liked his points about being filled with [...]

Get involved August 11, 2010

Today is the day to email your local election candidate here in Australia about: ‘The Poverty Question’ Details are here. I’ve just emailed our Tone, Mr T to the A-dubble-b-o-dubble-t. Even if you are in the UK you could too. [The link you need to copy and paste is http://www.micahchallenge.org.au/thepovertyquestion if you are having PC [...]

Poor memory August 9, 2010

This is a post mainly for the Australian readers of Paronymous Christos, but those back home in the UK can get involved too, as this is a global issue. Micah Challenge Australia is urging government not to forget its responsibility to the world’s poor as it considers prospective policies in light of the upcoming election. [...]

Chaplineringery August 4, 2010

On Monday this week I had the privilege of going to shadow the Chaplain at this school just up the coast. Northern Beaches Christian School is a fantastic place, I was totally gripped with what can only be described as ‘school envy’ when there. I wanted to be 4 again and be going back to [...]

Thankergy July 19, 2010

Thankergy: The energy to be thankful. Love this little nugget by Pete Grieg of 24/7 Prayer. He speaks about the ease with which we gain complacency towards things that should inspire us, the things that should inspire us to huge thanks. I particularly engaged with the moment he describes in the last paragraph.

Soul haven July 10, 2010

I have just returned home from a week as a leader on an HSC Study Camp in a place called Shoalhaven. Every time I read the location I thought, ‘Soul Haven, cool’ so that is why I name this post as I do. HSC study camps provide space for Aussie 17ish year olds to give [...]

Thinking and faith June 29, 2010

I thought this was an interesting post on thinking appropriately. Martyn Lloyd-Jones share his thoughts on thinking and faith, jump on the link and have a read, will take you 3 minutes.

Birthday updates June 28, 2010

So I am now the big ’29′ a significant year in that the next Birthday will neatly segway into my 30′s, but I shouldn’t wish the year away. Mike my housemate says that life gets better as you get older, so He is a good fellow to be around currently. He’s a good fellow to [...]

Micah 6:8 June 20, 2010

This weekend I’m out of town in this sunny nations capital, Canberra. Why they didn’t just agree that Sydney was a lovely city and really should have been made the capital is beyond me. Canberra is quite similar visually it seems, to the boil on the British landscape that is Milton Keyenes, but there is [...]

Faithful June 16, 2010

This weekend I went on camp with Northside, God totally met us, was faithful, brought change and grace, inspiration, built community, I feel so blessed. He even met me in a very powerful way whilst playing percussion during prayer ministry. Yesterday I moved out of a gorgeous house with some equally wonderful people into a [...]

Green earlobed June 10, 2010

This is a bit of a confession, don’t judge me, but I have always partly struggled to tie together the Christian faith with the ‘Green Issue’. It’s not that I don’t think looking after the planet  is important, I do. I even have a Pashley™ jute shopping bag that I carry inside my Crumpler™ man-bag [...]
