Anybody who knows me and my love affair with magazines will know that  “Paper Giants: the birth of Cleo” was must-see TV in my book! My favourite scenes by far were the staff meetings where the group brainstormed article and feature ideas. How I would love to be able to do that as part of an excited [...]

  Or … Janet’s random ponderings on the realities of prayer …   A Christian friend has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and has already had two surgeries, with a course of chemotherapy to come. As I was praying for her this morning, I really struggled with what to pray – and how to pray! [...]

It’s simple really – get a bunch of girl friends together, and watch them solve the problems of the world! This weekend just gone was the annual Footprints Retreat, when the ladies behind Footprints magazine and Footprints Women’s Ministries Inc headed to the beach for some rest and relaxation. This year, we stayed on Bribie Island, less [...]

Yesterday was our “hour of power” prayer for Footprints in 2011, with over 30 women (and a couple of  men!) across Australia, plus one ex-pat in the USA, interceding on behalf of our ministry. Four of us met at my house – Kylie and myself from the Footprints Team, plus readers Pearl, and Letty. It felt a [...]

Ho ho ho! says Santa. But in my head all I hear is “zzz zzz zzz” … that’s what I‘d really like to be doing! I’m just sooo darn tired! You can probably tell … it’s been ages since I’ve posted here on the Footprints blog. I haven’t read or left comments on many of [...]

Did anybody else catch the story on “Quiverfull” on the Sunday Night program? I found it particularly interesting as I met Nancy Campbell on an Above Rubies camp back in 1997. Funnily enough there was no mention of the Above Rubies magazine in the interview. For those who are not familiar with Above Rubies, it [...]

On Saturday I was privileged to not only attend, but also present at, the FaithWriters Down Under Conference in Penrith. My daughter Julia and I flew down to Sydney on Friday, in time to join about 20 others for a pre-conference dinner. Before the conference I knew of one other person who was travelling from Brisbane [...]

  It seems that Footprints now has a mascot – introducing Sophie de la Snuggles (pronounced Snoo- gals). She’s one snuggly puppy! There is a bit of a story behind how Sophie joined my family. My husband was studying part-time a few years ago in addition to working fulltime, so I often went to bed while [...]
