When we think of Holy moments we often think of our quiet times, prayer or being in church. Holy moments can happen too as we pause to take in a beautiful view, to sit in peace in the sun or listen to worship music playing in our car and our heart is drawn to God.… Continue reading Every moment Holy

Tangible Peace
An overnight email highlighted an issue with an international consignment. And in an instant I was stressed, heart racing, anxiety through the roof. Dealing with resolving the issue, while organising kids for kindy and school. Thoughts of 'I can't do this anymore", thoughts of "how will I get through this?" And to be honest I… Continue reading Tangible Peace
Man of Sorrows
The Doctor is back, telling me again that Oscar has Down syndrome - why does she have to keep saying it? She holds Oscar and he roars back at her. That's my boy. My room is like a train station. So many people, so many tests. I have panic attacks - can't breathe, feel like… Continue reading Man of Sorrows
The Shattered Heart
The shattering of a heart when being broken is the loudest quiet ever.Carroll Bryant I broke a glass the other night. With a crash it completely shattered on my bench top, into what I felt was a million pieces. Beyond repair. The mess cleaned up and the broken pieces thrown away. Sometimes, doesn't our heart… Continue reading The Shattered Heart
Treasures of Darkness
"And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches." (Isaiah 45:3) Grief visited this week. It threw shadows across my path as family and friends grieved over the loss of loved ones. People were left with sadness, tears in their eyes and empty spaces in their homes. There really were no words to say. When hard… Continue reading Treasures of Darkness

"And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by" (John Masefield) Before the age of GPS, before the time when man-made satellites joined the stars in the sky as tools for navigation, sailors sailed the sea guided by the stars - celestial navigation. They used the position of the… Continue reading Steadfast.
The Weary and the Frayed
Some days you just feel weary. Weary from being brave the moment you step out your door. Weary from weathering the storms of life. And you reach the end of the day and you feel spent. That hard phone call that added more load to your back with the future it seemingly painted. That unexpected hurt that made… Continue reading The Weary and the Frayed
Memory Lane
Yesterday - a walk down memory lane. A rare opportunity to visit an old family home, the old family church. To see the pew that we would always sit in, the church hall where we went to Sunday School. To the see the house - my old bedroom, the back garden. Memories flooding back, of laughter and… Continue reading Memory Lane
Borrowed Words
I can think of no better way to start the New Year than borrowing words from my father's New Year's Day preach.... "As we gather together this New Year's Day, in the Presence of God to worship Him and give thanks for the year that has passed and petition Him for the year that is to… Continue reading Borrowed Words
In Between
It's an odd week. That week that's bookended either side by Christmas Day and New Year's Day. You lose track of what day it is. Are the shops open today? Normal times? And what about the Postman - does he come this week? And of course the inevitable conversation of what day does rubbish gets collected! Sometimes… Continue reading In Between
