Stop the Sexualisation of Our Children
Nelson Mandela said, “There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.” If that is the case, our society is sick beyond belief. Not only are some of our retail stores involved in promoting the overt sexualisation of our children, but government-funded programs in our schools are actively indoctrinating our ...
Live Life to the Full
Oscar Wilde said, “To live is the rarest thing in the world”. William Wallace agreed when he said, “Every man dies, not every man really lives”. Really living is one of the greatest challenges a man will face. In many ways this was the sole motivation behind last weekend’s INTENSIVE that I attended at Stanwell Tops. The pamphlet introducing the ...
Making Good Decisions
Last week I talked about one of the greatest decisions of my life, travelling Australia with my young family for 12 months back in 1990. Many of you probably thought that it was an easy decision to make. Others probably thought, 'How do you make good family-friendly decisions?' Hindsight is a wonderful gift.

Love Laugh Listen Learn
Phil Baker an author from Western Australia, was addressing a large group of high profile community leaders. He told them that if they really wanted to affect the community, they had to 'stop being so boring'. Many of his audience were quite shocked at his comments. The same goes for us as fathers. We have to stop being so boring ...
Fathers Changing the World
'Pinkie and the Brain' is one of my favourite cartoons. I used to watch it with my kids when they were young, and I don't know who loved it more, me or them (but I won't tell anyone if you don't). http://youtu.be/GBkT19uH2RQ 'Pinkie and the Brain' is the story of two enhanced laboratory mice. Wikipedia puts it well, "Brain is ...

Christmas Joy
Christmas is a great time of the year for our families and particularly for our children. I remember as a ten year old boy, the year seemed to last forever before Christmas arrived.
