Since I have important things to do (finishing the writing of a sermon on Philemon for tomorrow night), I’ve managed to compensate by changing the look of the site, and getting the archives working (finally). Let me know if anything is broken, or with your thoughts on the new design.

doesn’t look a day over thirty
Today marks my twenty-eighth birthday. Thanks to everyone who has sent me emails and SMS-es, and to the one person who managed to get a birthday card in my mailbox on the day. Excellent effort! Dinner was at Est, in the centre of Sydney. A very relaxed dinner for kel and I. We were trying …
test of sanity
Because the phonelines are down, one of the systems at work makes a loud “beeping” sound every minute. This has been going on for about five hours so far, and we’re waiting for Telstra to fix it. They’ve said it will be fixed either today or tomorrow.
This is my body.
If you’re not a Christian, or interested in the strange things that Christians disagree over, you probably won’t find this post very interesting. If this hasn’t deterred you, feel free to read on. Recently, I’ve done some reading on the Christian “sacraments”; as a protestant, I’m thinking specifically of baptism and communion here. I grew …
jazz night and kicking in the door
After a few weeks of concentrated effort, my bible study group has finished of a very successful jazz night as part of church‘s mission week. Today seems like three days in one, we’ve had a lot of activity. The high point for me was the gospel presentation which explained the dissonance in jazz, the dissonance …
My poor, neglected Diary
The first thing, it seems, to fall by the wayside when busy is to be filling out each day of my diary. It’s much easy to keep the next couple of days’ events in mind, and hope that nothing is neglected. So what’s keeping me away from updating my blog? at work, I’m developing a …
men’s convention 2004
Men’s convention is over for another year. Again, I stayed with friends from hpc, in a house near narrow-neck lookout. It was good to spend some time with a bunch of christian blokes, and especially to take some time out at the end and look at my life, and see what I need to work …
prizes that will last
I’ve thrown together a new colour scheme and header graphic (again) to mark the Oscar performance of the third Lord of the Rings movie, but also to draw attention to rewards that are temporary, and those that will last. It’s all very well to work hard for something, and receive recognition – even international recognition …
a shameless plug
Having spent a number of weeks watching my diet and exercising regularly, I’ve finally reached a point where I’ve lost some weight, and I’m starting to feel good about my state of health. This despite finding out that I need to take avapro tablets to keep my blood pressure down: I think I’ve realised that …
Be careful how you stack your plates
Being Valentines’ Day over the weekend, I set out to make kel’s life easier by doing some housework when she least expected it. One part of this was, late last night, putting some of the newly washed up platters away in the cupboard. Before I was married, I didn’t own a single platter (a large …
