It’s taken some time to write back, and there’s a reason for that. I didn’t want AI to take over the way I write. I needed this to be as transparent as possible, even with its assistance. My wife is like a grammar Nazi when it comes to writing, but I’ve made real strides to…

Don’t Know How to Read, Don’t Know How to Fail It’s crazy to even write this. The other morning I woke up and felt like God was telling me to write a play — and that it would be called “Don’t Know How to Read, Don’t Know How to Fail.” At first, I laughed to…

Remember your first cigarette? Mine was in primary school. One of the boys decided it would be cool to steal a smoke from their parents. After school, five of us would sneak off into the bush, sharing a puff while trying not to cough. It’s funny how I still remember that moment. I ran straight…

It’s taken me over a month to write this blog, and honestly, life’s just been happening. Between business matters, staying grounded, and my boys getting back into footy, church, and learning scripture, time has moved fast. Right now, I’m sitting in jobs, handling responsibilities, and going through some serious spiritual growth with our Lord Jesus…

A few weeks ago, God blessed me with a powerful vision. It began with me placing one leg on a bridge. Several days later, I found myself with both legs firmly planted on that bridge. At first, it felt like a long journey to the other side, and I thought to myself, “I’ll get there…

Forever I am grateful I am greatful to be a father. A husband. For am I greatful to be alive. For I am greatful for what is happening within my life. Weight has had burden upon me for the last several weeks. The weight. The pressures. Don’t always have to be just about business or…

Don’t motivate me through man. It’s the conversation I had with God this morning as I woke up and felt a shift through my heart. For the last month or two, I picked up a Bible and started reading because I haven’t been able to deny the blessings that have happened in my life, in…

We’ve never shied away from who we are. We’re not fashion stylists or obsessed with clothing. I still rock my lavalava and jandals, still wear my Kmart shorts and AS Colour tees. As soon as I could make money as a young adult, I bought the boy racer car, the subs, the clothes, the shoes.…

What was once important is no longer as important. I’m sitting at my son’s training, watching him go through his drills. He’s moved up from 4s to 2s and jumped two grades this year. When he made the team just a couple of weeks ago, he was excited. He’s a decent player, but league—or footy,…

Friday nights remind me of the doors—the years spent working them alongside some of my closest brothers in arms. Weekends like this make me reflect on what friendship, brotherhood, and true connection really look like. A lot of long nights, 12-hour shifts, eight-hour shifts, fights, and violence. These days, Friday nights are different. I vacuum…
