Better Days Ahead
This morning I found this video from mate Steve Grace that he has recorded with the Watoto Children’s choir. I remember Steve saying what a challenge it was getting the primary shoot done in the outback. There’s a lot to be said for dusty trails. You need time to get where you’re going and an understanding of the wear and tear it can take on your equipment. If you jump into the trip without this understanding you’ll probably travel unprepared and unequipped. Steve and his team know the bush and so they meet those challenges head on. The right equipment, the right attitude and the...

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. Benjamin Franklin When I read this quote I was challenged by it simplicity and its ending.

Some bright colours, others dull and fading but memories resilient when the light shines on them. Some smooth, some scratches, An inspired thought after watching Amy Grant’s video “Better than a Hallellujah”
Read MoreCreation standing up to the Creator
One of the most challenging scriptures I know is Romans chapter 1. When you see how the ‘creation’ in verses 18 through to 32 decides that even though it ‘knows God’ it will do things its own way, you can easily be challenged to ask how does this apply to me. If I have a relationship with God or have had a relationship with God what is it that has become more powerful than the revelation of God’s love for me that would make me turn my back on him. For me it comes down to arrogance and pride. I am more often aware of my sin, my thought life, my selfish actions and...
