Incredible People

I am priveliged to know some incredible people. I thought I’d introduce you to some of them, these beautiful people that surround me and share in my ‘real’ life. In no particular order:
Lee. She is amazing. She is tireless. She does and does and does, and if anybody wants something [...]

What to do with all the Jesus Junk?

Keith Giles has an idea… a very large bonfire!
Seriously, I quite agree with him in his view:
The Christian Subculture prevents the breaking in of the Kingdom. It inhibits the Gospel message. It paralyzes the followers of Christ by isolating them from the people they are supposed to love and interact with on a deeply intimate [...]

Going, going, gone!

The Kidslink auction that I mentioned in an earlier post was on Saturday night.
What a fabulous night! There were so many auction items to bid on, and the people there were wonderful, and getting into the spirit of the evening.
Kidslink raised what will probably (when all the figures are finalised) amount to around $17,000 [...]

Now I have seen it all

I can’t believe it. There is actually a church called “Excellence Christian Church”. Really.
Proof.
A little snippet from their “About Us” page:
Russell and Yuvetta Cash Ministries is the world-wide teaching ministry of Pastors Russell & Yuvetta Cash. They are the pastors of Excellence Christian Church, a thriving non-denominational church in Bowie, Maryland.
Although RYCM [...]

Crying. At my desk. Again.

I have no idea what my employers think of me. One generally doesn’t cry about bank reconciliations.
I have just been forwarded a link to a blog by a friend who is somewhat of an activist. Here is an excerpt from that blog: Probably Not Interesting. What is our country coming to?

Thank God You Are Not My Child

I have two little girls (9 and almost-7) who are experts at not loving one another. I mean, they do love each other, just not during the 90% of the time that they are fighting. That 10% (while they are asleep, mostly) they love each other dearly. There is also a lot [...]

Incompatibility

On my way to work this morning I was surprised to hear on Melbourne’s most popular radio station a conversation about a story from Melbourne’s most popular newspaper. Big news. You’d think it was about the forthcoming election or something.
Not even close. Apparently an Anglican church is starting up a new daughter church [...]

The Last Man Standing

A scary insight from the Naked Pastor:
My first thought at seeing this cartoon: Lord, please, let that not be me. Ever. I think the recipe is down to one part me, two parts Christ-follower and three parts pharisee. Hoping to water down the me and pharisee bits a little more. Some [...]

In lieu of a post containing any substance, here is a list of terms that people have Googled lately to find A Deconstructed Christian:
- crappiest praise worship songs” I’m sure I could name several – but what do you want them for? Your praise and worship isn’t crappy enough on its own?- “fake [...]

Unchristian – The Meme

It seems I’m It!
Emerging Grace tagged me for this meme. I haven’t read the book it’s based on (unChristian), but it doesn’t seem that is a prerequisite.
Apparently I have to list four things about Christians: three negative perceptions and one thing that Christians should be known for.
So here goes: my 3 Negative Perceptions.
1. Christians see [...]

Not quite sure why…

I don’t really know why I feel like this. Maybe it’s just the headache talking. I am eating comfort food and listening to James Blunt.
Give me reason but don’t give me choice.‘Cause I’ll just make the same mistake again.Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.Walk out the [...]

God doesn’t answer his voicemail

When I started getting comments from people checking on me (thanks Nate!) I figured it’s time I blogged. Or at least wrote something to let you all know I’m alive.
I have been incredibly busy this past week, followed by yet another annoying virus. I’ve been spending the day resting, finishing off some things [...]
