  • Soccer mums and welcome distractions

  • Hear the heart of your son

    I had just been on the school’s New Zealand ski trip with 36, grade 11 and 12 students. The kids were amazing and the staff I went with were magnificent. I was tired, weary and worn out by the end though.

  • Deal with fear. Feast instead!

    Enthusiasm, excitement, anticipation all will be on the rise in Israel today. This is the season of joyful feasts, a time of year where the faithfulness and triumph of the Lord is measured against worldly threats.
