The clarity the desert brings. Hurricanes and hard relationships. Finding reason in the middle of a ruin. Small Wonders are quiet but profound observations about life from Dr. Laurel Moffatt. In each fifteen-minute episode, Laurel uncovers lessons learned from broken and beautiful things that are polished to perfection and set in rich audio landscapes for your consideration.
A trip to Western Australia brought Laurel to the famous Busselton Jetty - a 1.8 km timber-piled jetty stretching out into the Indian Ocean - the longest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
Initially built for practicality, the jetty is now a tourist destination and even features on postcards.
The way it reaches out with such purpose is similar to prayer - an extension towards the eternal.
But the main difference, of course, is the fact that we didn’t build the jetty between us and God. He did. But we still get to enjoy it. We can walk its length at any given moment and commune with Him.

Imagination
In Romans 12, the Apostle Paul has a challenge for Christians:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- His good, pleasing, and perfect will.”
But where can we actually start with this renewal?

York Lane
Along York Lane in the Sydney CBD are alcoves and recessed doorways set into the buildings.
It was in one of these recessed doorways where a man named Karl used to live (or rather, sleep).
Hundreds of people passed Karl every day - and sadly, in 2013, Karl died in his sleep, exposed on York Lane.
However, in a remarkable postscript, his long-lost brother, who had been searching for Karl for decades, finally found him.
And he brought him home.
"My son," the father said, "you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found." - Gospel of Luke, Chapter 15
