A couple of weeks ago I had a very beautiful and restful few days staying in Gordonton, Waikato, in the north Island of New Zealand.

So here we are – new years eve 2021 – another year gone by and a brand new year just around the corner.

But actually, yes, it has all been a bed of roses! I was thinking about that phrase today – a phrase that is often used to imply thatContinue reading “A Bed of Roses”

I have to be honest – as much as I love living by the beach, I really do not like the gale force winds that pound us every spring! And last spring, we had more than our fair share of storms! Living near the beach on the west coast of NZ, I have come toContinue reading “A Song in the Storm”

Let me take you on a journey back in time, to the city of Jericho, where Jesus and his disciples have been staying. Today is the day they are leaving town, and you join the crowd of people, all jostling each other, pushing, shoving, each person desperate to catch a glimpse of this man, Jesus,Continue reading “What do you want me to do for you?”

Living on the west coast of NZ, we are blessed with some pretty spectacular sunsets. In fact we have a lot of photos of sunsets – from winter pinks and pastels, to the fiery reds and purples of summer – and everything inbetween! You would think it would get a little ho hum after aContinue reading “You are His Masterpiece”
