I'd be lost without my ego-checkers! It's just that there are so many of them...;) G’day Jon,

I too have found myself justifying all sorts of things on my own. I’d be lost without my ego-checkers!

It’s just that there are so many of them…;)

I suppose that everyone would claim they do... Yet, I really believe that I can say this because I am only one member of a community who is keeping me accountable. When it was just me and my private self I was able to reconcile all sorts of rubbish with my faith. "No problem, no problem" used to be my mantra. Now, I have to undergo periodic ego audits, they are painful, but help to bridge the gap between rhetoriuc and reality.

I downloaded “For the Birds”, one of the short animations available from the iTunes Music Store, connected the iPod to the TV with AV cables, and then even composed a little slideshow to go with the talk. And hey presto, suddenly I’m getting interested feedback from the complaining little year 7’s and even some pleasant comments from my little brother (which is worth more than anything. Getting a compliment from Squirt is like blood from a stone) So now I’m an inspired little Geoff. The next idea is already brewing. Matt Glover’s post on the parable of the two sons has me thinking. Stay tuned for the results.   [...] […] Coincidentally I’ve just recently aquired a shiny new black video iPod, so rather than stick with the regular format of a bit of me talking and then some discussion, I had a go at something different.
