THOUGHTS ON LIFE: MEANING AND WELL-BEING IN THE RAT RACE
As I waited at the bus stop one morning last week, watching both school kids and adults waiting to go to their places of education or work to spend the day, I was once again struck by the thought of meaning in life.
The kids were waiting there to go to school to work out what they want to do with their lives, what career path they want to follow. Then there were the adults who had gone through it all years before. It was the expressionless or just plain unhappy looks on the faces of the adults - who used to be just like the school kids next to them - that hit me.

STRANGESIGHTS: 'BRING YOUR GUN TO CHURCH DAY', THE VUVUZELA DISPUTE, AND A HOUSE THAT TWEETS...
‘Bring your gun to church day’ probably isn’t the sort of idea that will catch hold in Australia but in the US, a pastor did ask his flock to do just that. Pastor Ken Pagano, of New Bethel Church in Louisville, as people to bring their guns - in holsters, mind - to church to celebrate the Second Amendment (that’s the bit in the US Constitution that guarantees the right to bear arms)

 JUST
BEEN THINKING: NOTE TO SELF ...
Note to self: Inheritance has already been received, not in it’s final entirety of course, but definitely in terms of freedom, authority and identity.
Note to self: Spend it wisely, confidently and with thankfulness. It’s a big one.

A CHURCH EMERGING HAS CLOSED
A
CHURCH EMERGING: SEARCHING FOR COMMUNITY
I
have been grappling with the issue of community for some time
now, but was challenged recently by a response to an article
on depression recently posted on this site. The lady who posted
the comment expressed that although she had been involved
in church life for many years she was in fact very lonely
and had also experienced depressive episodes during her life.
That really got me thinking. How can someone be a church attender,
surrounded by many Christians, and yet still be lonely?
