Walkie Talkie Man
I came across this video for Walkie Talkie Man the other day. The Auckland based band Steriogram had a hit with this on release in 2004. It was from here it went viral after iPod used it as a soundtrack to their advertising. The video is a craft group's nightmare or a knitters paradise depending on the way you look at it. Play it loud and set it to high resolution full screen. Just a little sidetrack for the...
Read MoreIs Grace Amazing to You?
I’m a big fan on grace. I can tell you that while I’ve needed a lot of it and learned that I can’t be too proud in accepting it I still struggle to give it. Why is it so crazy that our human condition falls to the level of greed even when we’re talking about the last bottle of water for the heart in a desert of anguish.

I can still remember the day five ‘hoods’ ganged up on me as I was walking home.

Today I had one of those moments where you just need to know that God is still in control. My Mum must have been ‘in the zone’ because she sent me a TXT with Lamentations 3 v 22-27 which was spot on and then this song by Jeremy Riddle came on the radio from the crew at LifeFM All up Lamentations might sound scary to some but the verse, the song all came together and reminded me how we need to remain strong not because we will prevail like some humans vs. aliens movie script, but because of our God’s Love and Faithfulness.
Read MoreMovie Review: We Bought a Zoo
I’m ecstatic, gutted and elated from this movie that played me like a banjo, plucking heart strings at will. In the last month I have been challenged as a Dad by two movies that might slip under your radar as you keep a hand on the wheel of life steering through Christmas. First there was “Courageous” from the Kendrick brothers and now the real life adaption of Benjamin Mee’s life in “We Bought a Zoo”. This for me is the family movie of the year and you will not regret seeing it. I had the privilege of seeing the preview screening for this review and we...
