History may disregard an individual swell, yet the earth reveals it’s impact. Against unyielding immobile humanity, destroyed yet not alone, we’ll overcome.

But this one was different. “The men here are bad”, she’d told me a few minutes earlier during my first ever Thai massage which took place in Nikolaev, Ukraine. Leaving sons and Thailand looking for work must have been hard, ending up in a dark room in a town known for sexual...

She’s been my faithful friend for a long time now but I can’t keep my collection any more sadly and it’s time to consider a new home for my girl. ST205 Engine ’09 ST205 Gearbox ’09 ST205 ECU (yes mated to the chassis loom – not cheap) ’09 CT20b/ST205...

A moment in time and a precious little girl. I pray for love, hope and peace.

“Dear God, help me to live for you today.” I can’t pray this anymore. My life has been spent largely, ignorantly, trying to impress Father, trying to win that uncertain approval.  Yep, I related to my Father in heaven like I attempt to even now, sadly, relate to my idea of...

Miss my little baby…  

Growing up in a conservative Baptist church in some ways reduced Jesus and grace to a mechanical transaction rather than the rich coloured masterpiece of personal encounter I perhaps subconsciously desire. Jesus has largely to date been a rather two-dimensional object of my study. Perhaps I...

It’s like having a welder in the shed and having no idea how to use it. James 1.21 suggests that we might know God’s life-giving words of truth and peace and yet have them make no difference. James encourages us to ‘receive’ the ‘implanted’ word. ...

Three clicks from inbox/facebook to donation? No emotional disconnect? Yes, it’s possible. And it doesn’t have to be fancy.  I found a perfect example today. Take a quick look at Compassion’s fantastic little series of relational, emotionally coherent, relatively...

Every picture tells a story.  This picture tells many.

A quick moment with a setting sun reveals a well used John Deer tractor beside some residual wheat after a prior run with the auger.

A quick pictures of my car I shapped at a recent car show.

After discovering my brake lines had almost worn through by touching the driveshaft, I felt some new lines were in order. I picked up some ADR approved HEL stainless brake lines. Sleeved in some as-factory-as-possible looking ‘carbon’ sleeves with black banjos they’ve been...

If only this were me. Lost in his slumber my little nephew is obliviously the envy of us all.

Amsterdam is indeed a place of enlightenment. Wandering the streets, the city walls divulge a treasure of truth. A deep lesson we must all ponder.

Its once proud service ceased, this old Zephyr accompanies venerable companions amongst the grass and cattle near the Hunter Valley NSW

Is God just way too restrictive? In the Bible, Kings and rulers ironically feel that way.  ’Let us tear’ God’s chains and bonds they protest in Psalm 2 desiring complete autonomy. Seems we’re not the only ones who feel this way. God has a response to this, He laughs,...

12.30am found me sitting in the rain at the very end of Cobbity Road with a torn spline from the clutch plate. A 60k tow home saw me crashing into my bed at 2.30am with a mammoth job ahead of me. Thanks to Kevin at Penrith Specialised Clutch for providing me a modified TRD pressure plate and...

I’m doing it.  Reading the Psalms slowly.  I’ve decided not to move to the ‘next’ Psalm till I’ve seen something new and beautiful in each. Something about my Father in heaven, something about me too I pray. Psalm 1 is a well known and beautiful Psalm....

So, after a few years I’ve finally fixed up the disaster that was the fuel filter. Seems the previous mechanic had broken the fuel line and/or rounded off the flare nut under the filter – and thought a good solution would be just to slide some hose over the pipe and hose clamp the...

Quick snap with the iPhone here at the Exhaust Shop (Carline Seven Hills – can’t recommend enough, Stephen there is a legend –  ph 9838 9999/carline.com.au) Finally finished the exhaust with a 3” mandrel rear pipe and straight-through muffler and little dump. Has a...

This trike was neglected in the rain at our house recently.  Loved the way the red pops on the gray, wet day.

Your place in heaven was more important to him than his place in heaven.
