The Comma

14/07/2013 15:45

I was busy. Busy making a Handbook of Guidelines for our staff. I typed a statement in page 1 – “In all that we do, may we endeavour to maintain a quality of excellence that will bring glory to God.” I chose the font carefully. It would have to be Bauhaus 93. I liked how it looked. The font fitted...

My Overflowing Inbox

07/07/2013 13:06

I have six email addresses. Two of them exist for specific tasks – one is for keeping in touch with my man (via Google chat) through the day; the other to access my writer’s group calendar. The remaining four are for email writing. One is my work email address; one is for travel times and junk...

My New Blue Jacket

30/06/2013 16:06

I saw it a month ago when browsing at my favourite clothing store. It was too dear to purchase. 50 dollars was way too much – even for a smart navy blue jacket made in a beautiful, soft velvet-like material. I soon forgot about it. A few days ago though, while doing my weekly shopping, I glimpsed...

The Backdrop

23/06/2013 17:07

It was another busy but rewarding day at CareLink. A friend and I had a quick catch-up including a prayer time in the hallway before we went about our tasks. Next came a cuppa with my co worker Dorothy as we shared our prayer needs. We were interrupted during our prayer time by the arrival...

Describing 'WATER' to a Martian

16/06/2013 16:47

Twice a week I fill our little bathtub with warm water and mix in 2 cups of Epsom salts. I then put on a pair of old goggles (to protect my eyes), and sink into the soothing calm water. I enjoy a peaceful half hour in there praying for family and friends. The reason? It’s great treatment for...

Nothing is ever wasted

09/06/2013 13:38

It’s been an epic, exhilarating month. After 3 months of hibernation (since my operation In January), I woke up on the 2nd of May 2013 to join the real world. It has been great. I’ve suddenly felt totally ALIVE! When I’d begun to hunt for a job many years ago, I had wished that I could...

Standing on a Rock

02/06/2013 13:12

It was all of 14 years ago that we moved into our cosy little home in Australia. Since then, my husband and I have enjoyed a little ritual as he leaves for work each morning. He kisses me goodbye at our front door. Then I walk outside with him into our front yard so I can wave him off. The...

The Ripple Effect

26/05/2013 14:29

It was six years ago that God called me to an exciting journey – that of becoming a Writer. It has been a thrilling ride. I’ve found much fulfillment and joy in writing. Picture a graceful swan moving serenely across a sparkling blue lake on a beautiful summers day. Or a bouncy dog running...

What Really Matters

19/05/2013 15:38

As I look back on my life, certain dates are imprinted in my mind - gold figures engraved on black marble; glittering, shining, sparkling. 12th May 1974 – the day I became a follower of Jesus. 9th August 1984 – the day I said ‘yes’ to my husband. 15th Feb 1986 – the day we got married. 1st April...
