Since moving to Australia in 1999 it has been interesting to observe how the average Aussie bloke operates. Very interesting. We could look into our society/churches and complain about the enormous feminist movement in this country. In doing so I think we miss the point. Should we men look to…
It is important to tell your children stories. They love to hear dad's voice. Telling stories of how God has worked in and through you will change their little lives. Reading to your family is also vital. The torch of Christendom is faithfully passed to the next generation via story telling,…
Through this series of articles (one, two and three) I have sought to answer some difficult questions surrounding education and schooling.

Official certification suited the ‘Chefs’ and those employing them because they felt more certain of the abilities such a one could exhibit. So it was not long before all the Community Meal Halls (CMH's) were run by Chefs. If the parents ever felt that perhaps the menus were chosen more to…
