Worst footy journalists that is….
Sheahan has come out with his top 50 best players, and Pav is the only Freo player to crack a mention.
The All Australian Ruckman, Sandilands…does not crack a mention, neither does the Rising Star, Palmer……..instead we find Rioli…now Rioli is a great player, but Palmer certainly deserves a gurnsey before him.
Cox is there, despite leading his team to a 15 finish, and being injured for much of the year.
Good Sunday in Church today.
Andrew from Tear Fund came and shared how the $3000 we raised at Christmas will help two villages, about 200 families, will get water…thus enabling girls to go to school, dysentry and vomiting to decrease, and infant mortality drop by 50%…thats pretty awesome actually, that together, we could do that.
Jim Mc Kinnon (older guy at church) led out Community Choir, Soul Jam, in a rendition of ‘God’s Radar’ which brought the house down, it was funny, moving…great!
I spoke on Jesus’ passion for His Fathers House, and what it drove Him to….get mad. I enjoyed the story, and explaining some of it. Got a heap of feedback, which was great. A few visitors commented that they liked that I spoke about 25 minutes, to the point, good content etc. I am always amazed that some preachers speak for 45 plus minutes. Unless you are at a conference, that is…in my view…too long, and that is normally the feedback given. To bore people is a sin..I reckon. I also think, on a typical Sunday morning, the skill is in condensing the message, or maybe distilling it is a better word. Either way, its not about what I have to say, but God’s. I reckon if you are waffling…its about you!
I am making a very bold prediction here….
the most unlikely Brownlow Medal winner…..it may just happen!
and on a much more realistic note…a lot of players are going to see the back of this guy….and he might just be winning us our second Rising Star in a row… 
The kids asked me an interesting question today…or rather they made a statement.
“If there are aliens, God made them”
That…along with Google launching Google Mars (Link) has me pondering the question, how would the discovery of aliens affect my faith?
I remember back to the 80’s when church people were talking about this and one famous evangelist said, “well if there are aliens, they will need to hear the gospel, so we had better make sure there is a Christian on the spacecraft”.
Aliens could take any form…why would they need to be the same size (roughly) as us? There could be millions of them on the tip of a pin…trying desperatly to communicate with us right now (Think ‘Horton hears a who’)
But back to the question, what if we do discover some form of life on Mars…even if it is just a group of cells? Does that affect my faith? Probably not, no more so that the incredible discoveries we are still finding in the depths of the oceans.
God is inherently creative, diverse in His work…amazing Creator. The depth and beauty of the universe tells us that.
Leave the Dockers at your peril…
“Carlton made application to the AFL today to transfer Rob Warnock from the primary list to the long term injury list. Warnock has had a set back in his recovery from a foot stress fracture and it was decided to place him on the long term injury list to ensure he has time to fully recover from the injury.”

and Jay Clark, one of the Sunday Times worst (and that is saying something) and most biased reporters….wrote this on Sunday….
“WARNOCK STEPS UP Carlton ruckman Robert Warnock is on track to play Round 1 in the VFL as his recovery from a foot injury gathers momentum. He has increased his training load after a series of shoulder, ankle and foot problems wiped out his summer. His eventual return is hoped to give the Blues an extra edge to an already impressive onball department. The 206cm ruckman played 21 games in three seasons at Fremantle”

Why I do what I do….for Him…all glory….meditate on this…Selah….
Will be a good year to see these players develop…if nothing else.
