Reunited

I snuck quietly behind Roy so that Joshua would see him first as he walked into the yard of the childcare centre.

At first, he stared, blinked, then as recognition and reality set in he ran to him, crying, “Daddy!”  He clung to Roy like a koala for the rest of the day.

It had been two weeks since Roy had been home and the boys had missed him very much.

I like reunions because people get to express how much they care for each other; feelings of joy, relief, and tenderness exude from the face and body as people greet each other after separation.

Of course, reunions are only as good as the relationships represented.

RUOK?

Mental health is often neglected or stigmatised; yet it is vital for us to address as individuals and as a community.  Explore with us how God says it’s OK to be not OK.

Justice vs. Evangelism?

Guest speaker Nathan Brown: Often justice and evangelism are set up as competing ways to express our faith, but when we re-examine the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) in the context of the ministry and mission of Jesus, we can appreciate our enactment of the kingdom of God in our work for justice and in giving an invitation to follow Jesus.

Amazing Creatures

God has created a truly diverse and amazing world.  On Saturday I shared about the Japanese puffer fish that creates complex and beautiful sand art on the sea floor to attract a female using only its fin.  

Another creature that astounds me with their innate skills is the tailorbird.

In His Name

I recently had fraudulent activity on one of my credit cards.  The person went on a shopping spree, purchasing at various cell phone stores, online stores, grocery stores, etc. All in all, over $2500 worth.

I had to call my credit card company and explain that I had not authorised those transactions; they had been purchased “in my name” without my consent.

Have you ever wondered about the meaning of the third commandment, “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain” (Exodus 20:7 NKJV)?
