malone dies

death is not the end of us

if death is the end of us - how do we justify what we do with our lives?
day to day we wake and sleep with no urgency
is this it?
the best life you're ever going to have?
did we get it right with our one chance?

we live like there's forever
and deny believing …

time ran away

time ran away from me.

back to school

i went back to uni today for the first time in a couple of weeks (with my sickness).

no, rather, this is for someone who …

when life gives you lemons

so it was bound to happen that at some point in time the uni assessments i'd been hearing about in class would be due.
all these theoretical "in the future" things everyone kept talking about would one day be a reality.

snow

one week ago i was here
the highest lifted point in australia
less than 200m from the top of Mt. Kosciuszko
with a snowboard strapped to my feet
and 5km of down-hill snow to travel across

because

so, as a christian, in one sense it's a mystery to me why everyone in the world isn't a christian also.
i'm a person who isn't easily satisfied or easily fooled - yet christianity stands up to question and it completely satisfies the entirety of my life.
but what do …
