Weekly Reflections

LOVE: Breaks down Barriers that Divide

Sometimes something is right before our face, and we do not (cannot/will not?) see it. I have often looked in the fridge or cupboard for something and cannot see it. I look and look and look but it is not there – well it is but I do not see it. Perhaps it was in a slightly different position or had a different label or looked different for some reason and I did not see it.

LOVE: Relationship and Connection

Recently I was reminded of a trip Susan, and I made a few years go. It was a visit to the Top End of Australia – Darwin, Kakadu and East Alligator River, Litchfield NP, Katherine and Nitmiluk, and Adelaide River. I was reminded of the immense beauty and wonder of this place. The diversity of flora and Fauna continues to create a sense of awe in me.

Lost and Found – in Love!

I knew a woman once who told a story that perplexed and deeply concerned and moved me. She grew up in a particular part of Western Sydney considered impoverished, challenging, rough and where, of course, no-one of any capacity would emerge.

A Party Where Everyone is Welcome…

On our morning walks, Nico and I sometimes walk down a particular road and there, amongst the houses is a simple home, a bit the worse for wear. Often, in passing, we see an older woman sitting out on her front veranda, well rugged against the winter cold.

Love over Legalism – Liberation into Life!

Tex Sample is an American United Methodist Minister, theologian and storyteller. He tells a story of growing up in the deep south, in the times of racist segregation and exclusion on people ‘of colour.’ His world was one of white people dominating those of different ethnic backgrounds and this was reinforced in both the wider (small) community context and inside his church.
