This is where I work. Enjoy looking around.

If you’re out driving today I’ve got a small piece of advice which may help you avoid some heartache. If you see a red light, stop. In fact, if you see an orange light and it’s at all possible, stop.
I know that that’s the law but a lot of people seem to have forgotten about what they should do at traffic lights.
I don’t know what it is but over the past year or so I’ve seen an increasing trend among some motorists to speed up and head through lights that have been orange for quite some time or even lights that have already turned red.
On my way home last night I saw a lady sitting in her little white car at a light which had recently turned red. A young guy driving a ute with a huge roo bar came hurtling towards her before slamming on his brakes at the last minute. It was wet, he was going too fast, it all ended very badly.
Both vehicles were still drivable but there was a fair bit of damage, especially the little white car that got hit.
I handed both drivers a business card in case they need a witness and cycled away.
You might save a couple of minutes by running an orange or red light but you also run the very real risk of losing more that a little time.
Something happened to me today that would scare many others but I’m absolutely fine with it.
I became the father of a teenager. Our daughter Emily turned 13 today.
I know that the teenage years can be pretty rough, both for those going through them and for parents, but I’m not too concerned. There may be challenges along the way and we’ll face them if and when they come.
In the meantime, we’ll just keep on enjoying the company of our beautiful young girl who is rapidly becoming a beautiful young woman. Emily is an amazing person. She’s thoughtful, clever, funny, intelligent, sensitive and so much more and it’s a delight to watch her as she grows up to be more and more the young woman that God has created her to be.
I figure that if she turns out anything at all like her mum she’ll be doing very well indeed.
