You are prob­a­bly aware that last sun­day I com­mited to spend­ing the week away from twit­ter and face­book [#twibat­ti­cal], to see what life would be like with­out these social media tools.
The week was Pure Awe­some­Sauce.
It was lib­er­at­ing, free. I was untied from most com­mu­ni­ca­tion. No @ replies, no-one “lik­ing” my sta­tuses every few min­utes. At one […]

There are tell-tale signs that you are about to receive a bad hair­cut. I have com­piled the fol­low­ing list from first-hand experience:

“How would you like your hair cut today, sir?”. Is the one-word sen­tence “shorter” an accept­able answer? I would imag­ine most men would have no idea how to describe their desired hair style [or […]

Pastor Brian’s mes­sage this week­end really inspired me to be much more pur­pose­ful with my gen­eros­ity. An act of gen­eros­ity or a word of encour­age­ment at the right time can lift spir­its and empower another per­son to live the call on their life. 
I’ve decided to set some weekly goals in terms of my encouragement:

Having com­pleted eco­nom­ics as a year 11 + 12 elec­tive at school I do regard myself as hav­ing knowl­edge “slightly above aver­age” in regards to eco­nomic issues.
