By: Andrew Laird I recently moved interstate, and no longer do i know where to go to get the best coffee, or the best meal, or the best whatever it is I’m after — which is why I love those ‘best of’ lists. Someone else has done all the hard work and come up with the places I should go. Now, imagine if someone had done a ‘best of’ list for all of life; the one place to go for life forever. Well thankfully, someone has.

By: Andrew LairdJesus promises to return one day to make all things new. In my job I meet up with a lot of people, and so whenever I go to a meeting I always go prepared…with a book. Because sometimes people are late…or have to cancel last minute… or sometimes just don’t show up at all. So I go prepared, always with a book so I’ve got something to read while I wait. Did you know Jesus spoke a lot about being prepared? Not prepared in case someone doesn’t show up.

By: Brian Harris It was a slightly unexpected and somewhat abrupt question, but afterwards its wisdom struck me. I was chatting to a friend about a difficult thing that had happened and he simply asked: “So what would you like from me? To hear, to help or to hug?”It set me thinking about my instinctive response when people talk to me about something difficult. While I try to remember the importance of deep listening, I’m wired to swing into help mode.

By: Ben McEachen Buying or renting is not a competition. We all have to live somewhere, and our options tend to boil down to: rent or buy. But the weight of public opinion and cultural emphasis in Australia has long been towards buying a place to live. We tend to believe that buying is best and beats renting, hands down. Renting has become the loathed or mocked phase you find yourself in, on the way to buying a place. Such a sneering attitude does not match Australia’s reality, though.
