Winter had been unusually long but I just had to get out in the bush. It was a case of maintaining what little sanity I […]
You think you’re doing just fine, but it’s only afterwards you find out what a mess you were (are!). The day, mid-March, when my mother […]
It certainly doesn’t vibrate with Christian compassion but, let’s face it, there are some people we just don’t like.
I’ve often wondered whether we all must diligently travel along the same path, desperately seeking God. Is the only truth our truth, the legacy that was recorded in the Old and New Testaments?
