Sixty Something
Mon, 23 Aug 2010

I grew up in New Zealand. I say fish and chips with a funny accent. When I ask for a pin to clip something together, I get given a pen to write with. Growing up in that beautiful land where the ocean waters have this beautiful emerald tinge, we were always told that the land had 3 million people and SIXTY MILLION SHEEP!

Evoke Her Beauty
Tue, 17 Aug 2010

Look up "evoke" in the dictionary and it says "To bring or recall to the conscious mind". Search for "evoke" in the bible and you find (in Ephesians 5, Message) the most magnificent of statements... "Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything He does and says is designed to bring the best out of her".

Just Pick One
Wed, 11 Aug 2010

Been doing a wee series recently with our girls called "small beginnings"... asking simple questions about what might be hidden in the seemingly small and insignificant. Won't revisit the message but in worship the other Sunday I felt a sense of urgency... So in response, I want to stir our senses to... JUST PICK ONE!

Fri, 06 Aug 2010

Have you ever been out with a friend or family member and suddenly either you or they realise they're wearing something inside out or back-to-front? Yeah, I think we've all been (embarrassingly or hilariously) there at some point – it's like (with eyebrows affectionately raised)... "Honey, you're looking fabulous, but you're wearing it wrong".

Tue, 27 Jul 2010

"God is Love. He loves you. Love others as He loves you. God bless you. M.Teresa 1-1-82"

I don't know who the dear, late and legendary Mother Teresa wrote this to, don't know the world of the recipient or the greater circumstances surrounding the moment, but these beautifully scribed words are on a piece of paper about five inches square.

Kindness Is Never A One Way Street
Fri, 23 Jul 2010

Kindness is never a one way street - it will always come back to (affectionately) bite you, bless you, astound and surprise up you.

The Understated Artist
Tue, 20 Jul 2010

You've gotta love the mystery, genius and security of our Creator. Unlike the vast majority of us (no offense intended), He feels no need to scrawl his signature upon his daily creations. Imagine if every sunrise or sunset appeared with His signature or a p.s saying "I made this". Imagine if every newborn entered the world with heavens trademark on their rosy bottom or with a tag attached "made in My image". Imagine if every new shoot or blossom or succulent new fruit emerged with an extra appendage proclaiming its origin.
