Last night I watched an excellent episode of Compass – one which I also found incredibly infuriating and nauseating.
It was a lesson in how not to raise a child in a Christian home.
It was the study of one family’s life as their teenage daughter grew from 16 to 22 and sought to discover her own [...]
Danelle is off to Bali again for the next week and I am again Mr Mum.
It is her sister’s 40th brithday so she and her other sisters have made the trip across partly for that and partly for the work they do in the orphanages.
So until Saturday I am mum, dad and whatever else.
Might [...]
The bloke selling his life on ebay
ugly the dvdrip
must be a tad disappointed.
The early bids of $2.2 million were false and when the auction ended today he had only managed to raise $399 300.00 for his house, contents and vehicles. Assuming the reserve was met I reckon someone got a pretty good buy. [...]
If you’ve followed this blog for a while then you’d know that it started as a way of documenting the journey we have been on as suburban missionaries, exploring different ways to express church and mission.
It was a way of trying to help those from our old church stay in touch. But I don’t [...]
After Ellie restated her disbelief in God last night she began asking us for proof. We went back over the ground we had been before, but she wanted concrete evidence.
Hmmm… tricky…
Then she came up with an idea of her own.
‘Hey remember that story in the Bible where the guy hung out a sheep’s fleece?’
‘Yep’
‘Well [...]
I sit in a cafe in Leederville this morning reading part II of Phil’s adventures in Afghanistan. (Part I is here

I am very glad for my Leederville cafe workplace.
I am also inspired by and grateful for people like Phil & his family who keep going in places others wouldn’t even give a [...]
I was reading Mark’s download barbie in the nutcracker divx blog this morning, where he was discussing the role of leadership. I liked this quote:
“When you are a leader you place a megaphone to your dysfunctions, amplifying their devastating effects on those in your sphere of influence.”
One of those things that makes you go [...]
I was chatting with a friend last night and in our frivolity we discussed planting a ‘mega-church’. I have been pondering the idea further…
It got me wondering what would happen if:
- we set aside a couple of million dollars for seed capital, (this was the first obstacle )
- hired a team of brilliant [...]
I use Sacred Space a lot in my morning prayer. It often lets you know which section of the church year you are in eg. advent, pentecost or easter.
I can’t help noticing how much ‘ordinary time’ there is…
Another reminder that most of life is ordinary and this is where we must focus our energies.

The bloke who started selling his life yesterday is going to be very well set by the time he walks out the door!
The auction is up to $2 200 000.00 already with 5 days to go.
For a house and contents in Wellard, as well as vehicles and not a heap else I reckon he’d done [...]
