Time flies…yet the seconds tick away the same for all.
Time has flown since I moved to Empart. It has been 5 months! Interestingly, a couple themes have arisen in my writings during that time… did you spot it? Here is a summary.
Learn Unity. Just smack your thumb with a hammer!
I’m learning to strategically remove my pincered finger and thumb from a half driven-in nail before the hammer pounds it in below the thickness of them both. Is it not interesting how our whole body reacts when just the tip of a single digit is exposed to the experience of a crushing blow?
Unity. ANZACs. Mates. Glory. And the Presence of God.
Why is it in Australia, it doesn’t matter if you grew up poorest of the poor or with a silver spoon in your mouth, true mateship extends beyond social standing? There is no division. There is just ‘together’, ‘oneness’, ‘me mates!’
Ambition. Good or Bad? How do you decide?
No virtue exists in our lives without Satan awakening a corresponding vice: nipping on the heels of obedience is pride, striding behind faith walks presumption and in the shadow of godly vision, selfish ambition lurks. As we continue to explore Unity, let us look at the area of ambition. The motive behind Lucifer’s great rebellion,…
Unity. When it all goes to hell!
To have Unity, we must recognise and know what disunity is. Like a fire, it always starts small and yet if left unchecked it can smolder, ignite, flare up and turn into an inferno. God has a place for disunity… you do not want to go there!

The spiritual season, we find ourselves in, is the beginning of the fullness of times — the period leading up to the return of Jesus Christ.
Taking The Little Things For Granted…no more!
“We’ll see you on the other side” were the last words from my anesthetist….then, “Hi, Honey”, the familiar voice of an angel..wait, no, better…that’s my wife. Whew, made it! My recent left shoulder operation, an Arthroscopy Subacromial Decompression (fix one of the four tendons that was torn and calcified), is not meant to be a…
It’s Bathtime!
We have all seen the little urchins playing in the dirt and trash in some poverty stricken slum. They are so covered in grime and dirt. The smell is almost unbearable. We may see a small glimpse of their beauty when they flash a smile or blurt out a delightful squeal when they find something…
What?! You go to WHICH Church?
A foreign country. A foreign tongue. It’s Sunday and the church gathers. Entering into a large ornate church with balconies and stained glass windows. A greeting at the door and a feeble gesture in return, spoken in English. A regular picks up the sound of English and comes over and greets the visitor. In broken…
