What do you know about Jesus? Do you know that that is where we get our dating system from? Jesus of Nazareth was born about 2020 years ago. Nazareth is a place in Israel. The most widely agreed upon fact about Jesus is that he died on a cross. One historian says this is the…

Should Political Candidates Be Abolitionist or “Pro-Life”- NZ
This post comes after realising how little Kiwis know about Abolition and how little they actually care about the subject. I am not talking of Kiwis in general, but specifically those who care about abortion and say they want it to end. We have all been in our mother’s wombs. We have all been through…
The Neighbour’s Dog
On Tuesday morning, Mum and I went out to the letterbox to get the mail. I drove my power chair. The sun was beautiful for a winters’ day. On the way out, I drove slowly on the loose gravel. We got to the gateway, and Mum got the mail. I said I would like to…
A Reasonable Response
Hello world. I haven’t blogged for awhile. Some friendly spammer brought this to my attention by liking a post. So I thought I had better write something. When my mind scrambles to think what to write, it goes a thousand directions. The most obvious thing to write about would be a reasoned answer to Atheists…
Cameroon
Many of you may not know or care what is happening in the African country of Cameroon. Of what relevance is it to me is what happens on the other side of the world? Do I want to act against genocide? There are many non-religious groups who will tell you the importance of preserving the…
What Jesus taught
Many people these days have only heard of Jesus Christ as a swear word. But Jesus of Nazereth was actually a man who lived in Israel some 2000 years ago.

God in nature
It is a beautiful day in late autumn out my window. The grass is sparkling with melted frost, and tall pine trees take up the middle third of my view. Above is the clear blue sky. Thankyou God. It is so beautiful. A bird- probably a hatchling- squawks loudly. The world out here relies on…
Blind. Why?
For the glory of God. I have just been reading the Gospel of John. I got to chapter 9, and there is a story of a man who was born blind. Jesus’ followers say, “Why is he like that, teacher? Who sinned, this guy or his parents?” Typical people, right. If there’s something wrong with…
Ladybug
When I was little, I used to be fascinated by ladybugs. I used to carefully study their red spotted backs as they crawled along. I used to affectionately call her “Lady,” and appreciate the way she was one of God’s creatures. And, there were ways in which I was similar to the ladybug. One day,…
Andy Story
Here is another story for you. 12 year old Andy Morrison desperately flung himself through tangles of vines and dead blackberries. It was a warm, pleasant night but he didn’t notice. Andy’s legs were panging and throbbing from the weight at which he threw his body at the immense maze of silhouetted bare branches. It…
The Gospel Getting Through
Over this season of level 4 lockdown in New Zealand, many people have been cleaning up their homes. Someone I know cleaned out her pantry, another got rid of unused crockery, still another is tidying up her worldly belongings. When confined to our homes, one of the most obvious things to do is to clean…
