I’m off with a few others on retreat for the next few days, then off with Katrina for the weekend to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary!
So, all things computer and blog will be far from my mind - keep sending your questions through though and I’ll start posting some thoughts next week.

It was “Commissioning Sunday” for our MBC crew over the weekend.
We commissioned our elected leaders, ministry leaders and interns in their responsibilities for the coming 12 months.
We then looked at the story of Elijah from the Old Testament - the one where he challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest, wins via […]

When I first heard about this blogging thing, I was intrigued.

We had a thanks-giving service last night with a local parachurch/mission organisation which saw about 250 missionary minded young people come together to tell the stories of what God had been doing through them over the last few weeks.
It was hot - 42 degress centigrade. So all the doors were opened, drinks flowed pretty freely […]

It’s so stinking hot here in Melbourne it’s not funny anymore. It’s about 50 degrees C in my study, hence the lack of computer time!
Anyway, I’ve been following with interest the writings on Jesus by Anne Rice, of Interview With A Vampire fame.
She’s had an encounter with Jesus and is not writing about him, viewing […]

We looked at the story of Cain and Abel on Sunday night, and in particular, the question God asks Cain after the murder - “Where is Your Brother?”
Cain was jealous that God was looking with favour on the offerings that Abel was bringing, but receiving no such favour himself. Somehow he missed the point that […]

Check this article out in todays paper about an assault on Melbourne cartooning legend Bill ‘Weg’ Green.
That’ll teach ‘em.
Update: There’s a photo of the picture Weg drew of his attack in th paper today. See it here.
