Read more "My Dad."The man sitting next to me has been an integral part of my life for three years. He is beautiful, strong, gentle, passionate, convicted and intelligent.

Read more "God learns."There was a time in my life that I used to get up at 5:45, skate through the freezing cold of Richardson, start work at 6am, work till 12Pm, return home to eat dim sims, play a computer game for most of the day, hang out with my house mates and then continue to play […]
Read more "God, I just pooped myself. A little help."Truth colours everything. When we believe that truth doesn’t exist, it’s almost like letting a child colour your BMW with a pair of scissors.

Read more "How the trinity will change the world."I remember sitting outside in the middle of the bush in north west Sydney.
