A  Stadium is a unique place where so much happens, mostly significant. It is many things to many people - a game venue, a place where sporting contests take place,  a 'colosseum' as it  were, a place of community, a place of fun, a place of 'worship', a place of wealth, a place of pain and tears, a place of victory and loss and a place of history. Most of us have been to a sporting match at a stadium. We usually come away with memories of the colours, sounds, the music, the spectacle, the actual match and of course, the score line. Whenever I attend a sporting contest at a stadium, I always see it as so much more that kicking a ball around, batting, bowling and catching. It is somehow bigger. It is as if the whole match represents something larger than ourselves, almost transcendent. It's like the contest is so much more than the sum of its parts. A bit like life, really. We are born. We mature and enter the 'contest' of life with some training. We step ont...

 ' The Human Story, The Choice'  (Part 3 of 3) is a video now available to be viewed on the Dawnian Productions YouTube Channel. This is the third video in a trilogy. This video is about Good News (often referred to as The Gospel). For Christians, this is the core of the Christian Faith...a beautiful relationship, broken and restored. God, our Creator created humankind. He had a very close relationship with His creation. Our first parents (Adam and Eve) sinned. They felt ashamed and naked. That beautiful relationship with their Creator was broken. The consequence of of sin was separation from God. God made a way that His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, would come to earth, live among us and pay the price for all sin that our first parents (and us) could not pay. Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross. He died, was buried and He arose (this event was witnessed by hundreds of people) from the dead. If one believes in Jesus and what He did at Calvary (crucified on a cross), the re...

Depletion is a depressive sounding word. It is lifeless, empty, diminishing and without hope. 'Depletion' is the name of the latest video just dropped onto YouTube, by Dawnian Productions. We felt that it was time to approach a current global issue that everyone is aware of (and talking about). We all know about the diminishing supplies of fuel. We also see the depletion of respectful, intelligent conversation on issues of difference. We see the depletion of the prospect of peace in the global community. We also see the depletion of the ability to see clearly what is right and wrong.  I love the word restoration. It is an antonym of depletion. Depletion defines the exhaustion of a resource, whereas restoration describes the process of refilling, gaining, expanding capacity, addition, boost and growth. What a contrast! Many of you may be feeling depleted at the moment given current circumstances. Can I encourage you to rest, take time out, reflect. Stop doing stuff and filling u...

 ' Perfume' can now be viewed on YouTube (Dawnian Productions). After events of the last few weeks, it felt good to be visually and 'virtually' immersed in things of fragrance and beauty. It was almost like being 'reborn'. When one reflects, one begins to realise how much beauty surrounds us in our everyday lives. Are you able to name some beautiful things in your life right now? (BTW, this is not a question just for women)...the morning light through a window, the smell of rain, a hot cup of tea or coffee, a quiet house early in the morning, a familiar road, music that finds you at the right moment, laughter that comes unexpectantly. Of course, as a male, one might add a few other things (I'll let you guess what they are). Then there are beautiful human things...real forgiveness, someone remembering something small about you, sitting with someone in silence without being awkward, a child's trust, old people holding hands, someone who chooses to stay whe...

 The Echo of Aeloria 4 - Beautiful Beginnings. (now available to view on YouTube at Dawnian Productions)The long arduous journey is over! Aelith has met the one who was there at the beginning. He has answered all of her unanswered questions. He has told her he loves her. He has encouraged Aelith to read his words and watch for the signs to what lies ahead. He has told her not to fear. He has made her a promise.  Aelith's journey continues, but it is a journey that will eventually lead her home, to the one who was there at the beginning, and His name? - Creator, God, Over All and Above All.  If you are on a journey in search for Truth, God is waiting. His Words (The Bible) are there to help you along the way. He is calling you home. He is coming soon and He wants you with Him. Its time.

  Overreach! This is the latest video from Dawnian Productions (now on YouTube). This video came from the idea that many people are willing to pay a high price on being promised that they will be 'kept safe'. One sees this dynamic in the family, marriages, friendships, business and government. One seems to hear the expression, 'keeping you safe' everywhere these days. In marriages, a husband (mostly) promises his wife, safety and security in the relationship (this usually starts with 'love bombing'). Then over time, the husband exhibits controlling behaviour over his wife. This can sometimes lead to domestic violence. In business, the employees are promised incentives (their job is safe) if they achieve a certain milestone. This milestone is exceeded and the business downsizes and many people lose their jobs. It happens in friendships as well. Jealousy is often the root cause of this controlling behaviour with the promise of exclusivity, special privileges, a cl...

Dawnian Productions has just uploaded our latest video, 'What Remains' on YouTube. The topic of this video is something many people are currently asking, the 'What will remain...' questions. What if one lost everything, what would remain in one's life that would give it purpose? When one loses capacity as one gets older, what remains? What remains when a family tragically loses a child? What remains when one's status and wealth are gone? What remains when one is no longer needed? What remains when one is left alone? What remains when one loses one's Christian faith? There is so much 'human wreckage' surrounding these conundrums and so much to reflect upon.  'What Remains' is a video that explores this in a post apocalyptic context and poses the answer to that question, 'What remains...' I pray that you will build into your life, things that will remain, based on a God who is eternal.
