I know it’s been ages since I wrote anything here - I should get back into the discipline of it, but life has been a bit full lately.
Since the last post I have completed my third Around the Bay in a Day and been ordained as a Baptist Minister by my denomination. Having the title […]

My back surgery recovery is going well. So well in fact that I was able to complete the 65km ride on the new Eastlink tollway on Sunday morning (yeah - wagged church to do it).
The above pic appeared in Mondays Age newspaper. If you look carefuilly, you can see me in the top right hand […]

I’m home!
I went in to theatre at 2pm on Monday for a microdiscectomy and was back in the ward by about 5:30pm. The anaesthetic they gave me was fantastic - I asked three nurses and the neurosurgeon to marry me in the time that I was waking up!

Computer time has been limited of late because of the back situation. I’m now scheduled for […]

From October, every time I walk into a room, you will have to bow down in front of me and call me Reverend.
Well, not really, but I will be ordained by the Baptist Union of Victoria as a recognised and accredited minister of the gospel.
It’s staggering who they let in these days!

So it’s probably no surprise that when Jesus was teaching his disciples to pray, he […]

Two weeks ago (yes, it’s taken me a while to get these notes up) we looked at the next phrase in the Lord’s Prayer - Hallowed be Your Name.
Hallowed, or holy, is not really a word we use much now apart from describing an extra special place. For instance, the ground of the MCG if […]
