Everywhere I go, people are talking about Mark Driscoll.
Ross Clifford talked about him at the pastors conference.
All my pastor mates are talking about him.
He has a lot of detractors….what he says is strong, some might say…at points divisive.
Either way, he wears the coolest shirts….but you cant be his Facebook friend, he has hit his limit of 5000.

About four weeks ago I was ready to pack in the season. I am not saying we are going to make the finals or anything like that….but it sure is nice to be on 12 points…along with a stack of other sides.

We are every chance to beat Hawthorn this week…and I am still not quite sure why.
Palmer, Crowley gone for a long time….5 new players…rebuilding year, first year players playing.

It does not make sense to me how we got over Carlton, West Coast and Sydney with such a young bunch.

A bit of positive risk taking footy goes a long way. The goal is to move the ball in the direction of…and eventually go through the posts. The Freo boys are not playing stop start footy at the moment, they are moving it on quickly, kicking to contests, and backing their teamates to win it, quite amazing really.

And Sandilands is the best ruckman in the contest at the moment, bar none.

I put together a task list for today. Along with some meetings, and a appointment or too, the day is not looking too rushed. Also have set aside some time to think about the theme for the next month, and start preparation for Sunday.

It is an interesting thing having more people at church. It pushes you to think more about your messages…maybe it shouldn’t, but it does.

Seeking God in prayer, seeking some fresh insights from His word. Its fun!

Oh yes……

Today was a great day in church. Good crowd in…some good prayers and thoughts….Some more visitors…
Yesterday was a great Artisan Markets…Met lots of people, shared about our church, talked with lots of people we have contacts with
Monday through Wednesday was a great Pastors Conference. 200 Pastors came from all round WA…It was good time….

But all this comes at a price…I organised a lot of the conference, Artisan Markets and off course Church.

Too much in one week…as well as some draining from lots of quarters I cant talk about on this forum.

I am so looking forward to tommorow and some time off…I am actually too tired to enjoy a break tonight…
