Concerned about Australia’s upcoming election?
21. July 2010
I’m really not much into politics probably because I wasn’t brought up in an environment that openly talked politics. It’s a big issue though. We see every election – whether in America or Australia (for me) candidates make promises and then break them by using lots of big words and complicated jargon the average joy [...]

I’m sitting at ‘Classic Coffee’ in the quaint city of Glendora grateful to see the June gloom clearing and the sun beginning to shine and California become all that it known for! I’ve been back in the United States from Sierra Leone now for just a couple of days recovering from jetlag and catching up [...]

I’m writing tonight from the ‘Harmony Hotel’ (highly recommend this place if you ever come here. Its close to the airport, run by a honest Christian man who understands Western Culture) in Lungi, Sierra Leone. I’m lathered in mosquito repellant and have just finished watching the British tie in the World Cup against Algeria with [...]

Today I got to visit a school for the International Day of the African Child. In Soweto, South Africa, thousands of black school children took to the streets in 1976, in a march more than half a mile long, to protest the inferior quality of their education and to demand their right to be taught [...]

The story of how I ended up on this flight to Sierra Leone, Western Africa… Ever since Mark Warren from Global Benefit made me watch the movie, Blood Diamond and getting to know ‘Robert and Ruth Searches’ who work with Living Waters International (LWI) in Sierra Leone I’ve felt a stirring in my heart to [...]

5. May 2010
Today, my roomate Mandy and I joined ‘Hands on Nashville’ to help clean up Nashville after this past weekends notorious flood. Potentially over one billion dollars worth of damage! It’s so unbelievable driving through ‘normal’ neighbourhoods and seeing basically entire contents of people’s homes in a sopping, decaying mess out on the curbside awaiting disposal. [...]

5. May 2010
Well, this past weekend I’ve been with Alabaster Box in Buffalo and Rochester in Western New York – about 800 miles from the devastation hitting Nashville, Tennessee and surrounding areas. It seems to have made national and international news all around the world… The photos here are taken out the window driving through… the river [...]

2. April 2010
Good Friday is a hard day for me to get my head around… to even remotely comprehend… to assume the right posture… to be reverent… yet excited and grateful… to realise the full extent of what Christ did by dying on the cross for MY sin. It could be looked at as the ‘Remembrance Day’ of [...]

One month ago, tomorrow, my dear friend Jenna was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This blog has shared many of the stories from that time. I’m so grateful for the miraculous recover that Jenna has had so far and am excited to share a blog entry written by her for you all! Arrogance of the [...]
