  • How public schools are advancing pro-abortion and LGBT agenda

    We’ve seen a troubling amount of hostility toward those who hold biblical beliefs about marriage and the sanctity of human life. You need look no further for an example than Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips, who has been harassed for his beliefs for the past seven years. Or look at Skyline Church in California, which […]

  • Teaching Our Kids to Give Thanks in Everything

    These school holidays are like none other for many parents around the world. Camping trips and day trips are cancelled, playdates are off, and there’s not even sport on TV!

  • Half and half…

    I walked towards the gate of Sunny’s new school this morning, behind the bars was an enclosed area for children to sit. My eyes found four children in wheelchairs. One little boy dangled bare feet from his chair, while another had his eyes closed and dribbled quietly in the corner of the school yard. I […]

  • A costly mistake: seeking my gain over His fame…

    I was checking to see how many Twitter followers I had. It was just a few seconds of distraction, a few seconds of indulgence, but seconds that cost me so much. I glanced around the room for my 1-year-old daughter. She was nowhere to be found. I called her name. Nothing. I furiously looked around […]

  • Daniel Morcombe and the stolen ones…

    On December 7, 2003, the world became a darker place for many Australian parents. It was the day that 13 year old Daniel Morcombe was abducted from a bus stop on a busy main road in the middle of the day on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. He wasn’t doing anything foolish; there was no alcohol involved, […]

  • A mother’s heart…

    The other night I was watching the news. Catching glimpses of the devastation following Typhoon Haiyan. I watched on. Feeling a million miles away. Then there was a close up of a little boy crying. About the same age as my Tyson. The reporter explained that he and his family had gone without food and […]

  • Scary judgments…

    Living on the cold, Canadian prairie meant that my four-year-old daughter’s Halloween costume had to fit over her big, puffy snowsuit. We found an adorable clown outfit which worked well with the large rainbow afro wig that was her favorite dress up item and headed out the door. We weren’t out for very long as […]
