Thu, 10/12/2020 – 13:50
The year 2020 is coming to an end. As years go, this one has been an absolute shocker. A global pandemic hit. Lives were lost and livelihoods were shattered. It took a toll on businesses, families, schools and organisations. For those of us who have the privilege to serve, we see the best of it and we see the worst.
LOVE IS THE ULTIMATE COVID-19 SACRIFICE
Love: it’s not a topic we frequently talk about in this place—and I’m not thinking about the deep affection that those opposite feel towards me and my colleagues, but rather the love that has been tested through COVID-19.DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPT
Remembering Don Moffatt
I was enormously fortunate to forge a very good personal friendship with Don Moffatt. Don, for me, was a quintessential Australian mate. He would be the first to take the mickey out of you; but, I tell you what, if you ever needed a hand, Don was there. Don was as hard as nails—God, he was tough! But he was also the most gentle, soft fellow. He would fight to the end.
