I commented on Anne Rice’s latest work in this post a while ago.
Reviews are starting to pop up around the place now. It sounds like a good read and I’m hoping to get to read it this year some time. A nice, short review by Gearoge Barna can be found here.
Anyone read it yet?

Good question!
I’d be lying if I said I’ve never asked this before. Sometimes it just seems to be a waste of time praying if God has already made up his mind about what is going to happen. Greg had the task of following his first installment on prayer with trying to answer this perplexing question…
Here’s […]

I’m not particulalry sporty, but having the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and being fortunate to go to see the athletics at the MCG on Thursday night has meant I’m suddenly an expert on everything track and field! I’ve watched far too much of it on telly but have loved the buzz around the city and […]

Greg shared with us on Sunday night the first part of an unexpected double-header in our series on prayer. The question this time was “Why should we pray?”.
Mel Gibson’s portrayal of an ex-clergyman in the movie “Signs” at one point cried, “I am not wasting another minute of my life by praying.” His wife had […]

Being school holidays, I managed to make it to ‘most’ of the morning service this week. Lynton Allan was the special guest - a man gifted in drawing/painting and telling stories in a way that points us to the realities of God and faith.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Lynton […]

On Sunday night we began an occasional series (ie on and off all year) on the spiritual disciplines or spiritual exercises. These disciplines are not secret, magical acts that a Christian can use to get closer to God, but instead a series of things we can do that put us in the best possible place […]

Back in this post, I flagged the impending critique that I wanted to put together to help bring some of our people along the journey we are taking. I guess you could say I’m hoping to write a simple but direct ‘why we do what we’re doing’ series of papers that draw on Biblical witness, history, […]

I completed the one year internship with FORGE last year. The things they present are always thought provoking and challenging - this should be no different. It’s being held at ‘The Factory’, the facility that my community has seen move from a dream to a reality in the last three years…
The world is changing at […]

Remember this post?
Well, as of 11th March the below place in Croydon Hills became the property of the Glover’s - we move in early May. Our Nunawading place sold in a flash, leaving us an unexpectedly brief time to find somewhere new to live.
With a lot of other stuff going on, the house hunt was extra […]
