According to the conversation between my sons, the “real” Clark Kent goes to our church. As an avid Superman fan, my 6 year old was excited to meet and to talk to the “real” Clark Kent. But I’ll let you in on a secret, he’s not the real Clark Kent. He’s a friend who with his… Continue reading The Real Clark Kent

Happy Father’s Day
Tomorrow we celebrate Father's Day in New Zealand. A fantastic opportunity for me to celebrate my Father and my husband. For me it is a day to take time and pause to acknowledge these 2 great men in my life. Father's Day is a great opportunity, for Fathers everywhere to be celebrated and thanked. There are other Fathers around… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
Unprepared
Our car trouble of yesterday meant that today public transport was my mode of transport to work. Not something I was entirely happy about or for that matter prepared for. I only ever occasionally take the bus and to say the least I was out of practice. Not that taking Public transport should take practice. But I should have… Continue reading Unprepared
Getting Job
Today, I was empathising with Job. I think I felt like he must of when his camels died. Not that I have a camel, but today our car broke down and had to be towed to the garage. Actually, I think at this point I'd consider having a camel. It might be more reliable than our car. And… Continue reading Getting Job
On Holy Ground
"God said, “Don’t come any closer. Remove your sandals from your feet. You’re standing on holy ground.” "(Exodus 3:5) I wonder what Moses felt in that moment, when he encountered God. What reverence and awe he must have experienced. How his heart must have pounded. And what an encounter that changed the course of his… Continue reading On Holy Ground
Finding the Sun
Some people are born with a seemingly innate sense of direction. I am not one of them! They can easily tell which way is north, where the sun will rise and set. It's a handy skill when you're doing photography or house hunting and trying to work out which rooms will get the morning sun. I confess… Continue reading Finding the Sun

Stairs & Luggage
At home today my 3 year old and I went to walk down our stairs. That is, until he decided that it would be easier, more fun and less effort on his part, if I carried him down the stairs instead. So the request "Mummy carry" was made. And willingly I did. An otherwise inconsequential trip… Continue reading Stairs & Luggage
The Dentist’s Chair
Today I took my 6 year old son to the dentist. As we walked towards the clinic, a little hand slipped into mine and a voice whispered "I am scared". I reassured my little chap and squeezed his hand in encouragement. I told him to be brave and in we went. He chatted happily to the Dentist about… Continue reading The Dentist’s Chair
Vision Redefined
In the world of Tablet advertising, all announcing a plethora of new features and technology that I can barely keep up with, from retina display to thinner bezels, one company has the sleek slogan that I could identify with (and actually remember!) - "vision redefined". Of course said slogan was then backed up by all the techno terminology, but I liked the… Continue reading Vision Redefined
