Anchor
My boat sits atop the ocean, the sky, and waves indistinguishable in the dead of night. I sense the wave coming and brace for the incalculable impact. Knuckles white with dread, I try to recall the glass-like sea, crystal-clear water and boat in motionless synchronicity, the air still and silent.

Plates
jeering a grin water-coloured crystal shimmer spindle-esque discs spin over, around and above on stilts like rainbow coloured clowns their secrets given up by the hummingbird whoosh tottering on tiny brittle twigs atop the wobble-legged table point on, slip a mil away crumpled mosaic to be floor candy … […]

What would happen if instead of coming to church to get ‘fuelled up’, we brought our offering of praise and thanksgiving – the result of daily personal communion with God – into the House of God?

Sometimes we are just powerless…
This mindset of feeling powerless and letting it guide my day, and letting my very isolated and short-term problems control my outcomes is not something I want to do…

He’s in the little things…
It’s common to believe and agree that God speaks to people through the use of words; the Bible is the classic example of this with many accounts confirming that he does. But he also speaks in many other ways, and if we’re listening, not with our ears, but our hearts, we just might hear so […]
