Switzerland, I salute you, Your massive mountains, and wondrous waterfalls, The climbs that had me puffing, and the views that dropped my jaw. The cows, the bells, the dairy, the chocolate. You toned my glutes, and lightened my wallet, Made me dip various food stuffs in cheese. Switzerland, I salute you. Switzerland, such a fantastic place, but I must admit I returned to Switzerland with a … Continue reading An Ode to Switzerland
Roses are red, Violets are blue, but if you want to smell lavender, go to Avignon (just because it doesn’t rhyme doesn’t mean it’s not true). Seriously, Avignon was so ridiculously pleasant. I could have explored the streets of the old town forever… could have except it was stinking hot. So dusk was the time to explore. Old town Avignon has so much character and … Continue reading Sweet Smelling Avignon
It’s nice to go for an evening swim in the ocean as the sun sets. It’s nice to stroll or ride along the board walk. It’s nice to eat crepes. It’s nice to take a day trip to the beach. Nice is nice! Whether you explore the town, walk around or pop over to the next country (Monaco), Nice is a worthwhile stop. Continue reading Nice IS Nice
“I’m going on tour with an African Children’s Choir” said the very white, blonde haired, blue eyed girl. That’s been my favourite way to raise some eye brows lately. You see I am lucky enough to be going on tour with 100% hOPE Choir around the east coast of Australia. I can not sing, I can dance in my dreams and I definitely would trust … Continue reading On Tour
He searches for a pure heart, but where could he find a heart that has withstood corruption? So he gave us a purifier, so that those who would search for Him, could be pure in his sight. You are invited, not restricted, there is no limited access. We have been given all-access, backstage passes, to His presence. You are qualified, identified, heaven has made … Continue reading Unrestrained Worship
I’ve been thinking about the Psalms lately. The songs or hymns of praise written by a variety of different authors. Some offer up praise to God, some lament and many declarations of the Messianic King who is to come. They are used in worship, for encouragement and we meditate on them. I love that some Psalms are raw and vulnerable and we can imagine what … Continue reading Psalms
The old coin exchange: It’s a well known trick among the secret association of older siblings. You coax your impressionable younger sibling to trade their little ‘insignificant’ $2 for your much larger ‘more impressive’ 50 cent coin. Classic. If your lucky they fall for it and you can buy yourself a cheeseburger from Maccas. This Easter it struck me that this ancient practice is reminiscent … Continue reading The Unfair Exchange
When I was in high school I remember joking that if I wasn’t married by the time I was thirty then I’m moving to Africa. It was so hilarious to me at the time because I thought it was a sure thing that I would be married… no doubt in my mind. Now at the ripe age of 27 that joke seems to get less … Continue reading Leftovers
Well everyone else seemed to be living large, we were melting away. By the time we got to Lake Como it was heating up with temperatures in the high 30s. So we were really left with no choice but to eat gelato then retreat to the air conditioning when it all became too much. But there were times when when we braved the heat. Early … Continue reading Livin’ Large in Lake Como
