I want to speak to you from the perspective of someone who is recently engaged; & I wonder if anyone reading this is a young adult or older and thinking they’ve missed the boat because they’re not married yet. My mid-20s & onwards have been some of the best years of my life. I became…
Hoping For Teddy Bears
When I was in high school, my friend Audrey was obsessed with teddy bears. This probably had to do with the fact that her on-again/off-again boyfriend looked a bit like a big teddy bear, with his caramel skin, fuzzy afro and cute smile. However, Audrey’s parents didn’t like teddy-bear boyfriend, and Audrey ended up kinda-sorta-dating…
SAV(e)D
I was born into an Adventist family. I grew up going to sabbath school every Saturday morning, sitting in the pews for church and doing Pathfinders. It hasn’t been smooth sailing all the time. It’s been through the lows and everyday life that I have discovered more and more why I’m a ‘sevvie’. Here are…
Love’s Potential
Love is such an extensive theme! Something we all long for—whether from father, mother, or some other source such as friends… It’s something that we give (shown by our actions) to those who we hold dear to our hearts. Something that God bestowed on us through the gift of His only begotten Son and then…
Social Justice & Broken Bones

Worth A Thousand
The path He set to navigate None of us would ever plan. He stepped outside Heaven’s gates; It’s King became a man. Each step was worth a thousand For the lost would soon be won. For God so loved the world He gave His only Son. Each step was worth as many As…
The Least Of These
My dad is 60, and my mum is 58. For them, this means that their musical consumption peak occurred during the late 70s and early 80s. For me, this meant that while I was growing up, the sabbath morning drive to church consisted of a lot of Heritage Singers, Amy Grant and David Meece CDs.…
What I Find
What I find in Jesus Is more than any word Is bigger than any thought Is greater than any gift What I find in Jesus Is not only for me But for everyone who wants the key To everlasting love and peace What I find in Jesus Through only asking once Is an…
By This, They’ll Know
People-watching is a pretty creepy hobby when you think about it. But hey! Somehow, we’ve managed to make it socially acceptable and that’s good – ‘cause I quite enjoy it. I particularly like watching people socialise – you can learn a lot about someone by seeing how they act around other people, especially how they…
