Last Monday after the incident described here I steped out my door on rainy cool fall day. As I walked down the street with the yellow and orange standing starklly against the grey of the sky, I found twinges of fear come over me as a guy was walking towards me at some distance and put up his hoodie against the rain. People I would have passed with little thought were now a threat that my mind

Kate and I had a busy Saturday, but full of wonderful if also energy draining at least for me, it was a very social Saturday. Sunday I quietly and leisurely prepared for Reconciler’s worship service in the evening as I usually do (I try to plan little or nothing on Sundays except for preparing for Reconciler’s service.) I went over to the church about 4 dressed in my Russian style cassock made

I seem to have been averaging about 5 or so posts a month for the last 6 to 7 months. At first I thought I may be rethinking the nature of my blog and what I wanted to be doing

As I have mentioned September was a full month. October is slightly less so, but still very full. I preached again on the 5th of October. As I prepared for the sermon I was still quite drained, and had a busy week at my Temp position. But I had the chance to discuss the sermon texts with the AngloBaptist and was feeling really good about the sermon by Friday. I was going to play with the nature

Staying Married Is Not About Staying in Love, Part 1
By John Piper January 28, 2007
Genesis 2:18-25
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his [...]

Musically, Australia tends to get a bit of a bad rap. I’m not sure why this is, as Men At Work, INXS, and (reluctantly) Olivia Newton-John aren’t any worse than anything else in pop music. Not to mention that the United States has tormented the world with Pussycat Dolls, Limp Bizkit, and the entire emo genre. Maybe we’re all a little bitter about that whole “Silverchair” thing, excluding their recent “comeback” with the mildly homoerotic video for “Walking In A straight Line” (oh, ironic title).
Anypoodles, Australia has also given us The Presets, whose new album Apocalypto is currently in my “new stuff” playlist. If you dig The Faint but find Ladytron a wee bit too repetitive…let’s chat.
“Kicking And Screaming” is a bit like a more interesting !!! song, with a weird robotty noise that sounds like something from the breakdown of Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit.” The chorus is a weird half-step, [...]

Let’s see where shall I begin. In September I have co-officiated at a wedding, been working as a temporary church administrator at the church the AngloBaptist pastors, lead a weekend retreat for that same church (I had agreed to lead the retreat late spring long before the Anglobaptist asked if I needed some temp work), lead the retreat for the Community of the Holy Trinity, all the while
