Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave back with you again – coming to the end of an action-packed day (that culminated in a painfully long run) and savoring an action-packed week that included the long-awaited second stoush between Daniel Geale and Anthony Mundine. Geale v. Mundine If you were with me last week you’ll remember that

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave, back with you again on a wet and balmy January evening in Sydney. As is the pattern in Australia, the weather shifts between passionate extremes – going from hot and dusty to a flood situation in a matter of hours! Every January is like this – floods in the north

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave back with you again, and I confess that I’m kicking back a bit tonight. I’m taking it easy, as I feel rather tired. I’m not sure why I feel tired but I’ve abandoned my weekly half-marathon run tonight and am enjoying a glass of wine instead. I feel a bit

Hi Fighter! It’s Father Dave and it’s good to be back with you for another week. Before I say anything else today let me thank you for your prayers for Bernie! There was a torrent of prayerful response to last week’s missive where I mentioned my time with a dear man named Bernie. Without wanting

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave back with you, and wishing you a ‘Happy Epiphany!’ I appreciate that Epiphany (which is the day when we remember the wise men who came to worship the baby Jesus) isn’t celebrated by many people, and certainly not as vibrantly as Christmas or New Year. Even so, so far as

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave back with you, and I won’t keep you for long tonight. It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m sure you’ve got better things to do than spend your time reading a blog post from me. You might likewise be wondering why I’m spending my New Year’s Eve blogging when I should

Hi Fighter, Being Christmas Eve, it’s a very simple Monday Missive this week with a very simple message: [imaioVideo v=1] (and if you can’t view the video, click here) Make sure you wait until the video has finished as it should then re-direct you to my Christmas tree where you can collect your presents. (and

Hi Fighter, It’s Father Dave back with you, though only very briefly today. I’m back in the land of Oz, and glad to be back, but feeling a little off-balance! A part of that is jet-lag, no doubt, but the other thing that has thrown me is the realisation that we’re only two weeks short

Hi Fighter! You’ll have to forgive me for sending out my ‘Monday Missive’ a little late this week! I’m afraid I’m on the wrong side of the world, in a different time zone, and I’m currently encloistered in a monastery where hi-speed Internet access is not the priority for residents. Actually, I’m not sure if
