“The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants…the soul waits …

I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman”

Moving, challenging, very thankful……

Wonderful Good Friday Service. Good crowd in, lots of visitors.
Excellent restrained music.
Multi media was moving and appropriate.
Jim did a wonderful rendition of “I cannot tell” to the tune of ‘Danny Boy’.
Band did a great job of “Pride, in the name of love” fitting end to a moving service.

It’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming!!

Thanks Jesus again, for all you have done. You have given us real hope.
In fact the Christian message is that in the absolute worst of times, Jesus’ story gives us hope.
TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE

“I got back into LEGO building in June, 2000, shortly after adopting Precious, my third cat. She loved to be amidst my building from the start. She didn’t disturb partially assembled LEGO objects, or even piles of bricks, so I could leave her to play around my assembled work without too much fear of damage. ” Amy Hughes

I have been to Robert Schueller Crystal Cathedral in LA, and this one made out of Lego Blocks looks similar.

“And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
We fight all the time You and I…that’s alright
We’re the same soul
I don’t need…I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more”

Bono has said that after this album, he hoped he wouldn’t need to write anymore about his dad, and his relationship with his dad. That’s interesting. Link

If your a bloke, and have any sort of relationship with your dad, then like me, you may relate fairly heavily to these lyrics.
Miss you dad, wish I could have said more to you when you were around.

In case you didn’t realise it, the Dockers won on Saturday night.
It was my son’s first time at watching a real AFL game.
I have taken him to pre season and practice match games before, but this was the first time he has gone.

He got a Johnny Docker pack, which had a radio/torch, pack of cards, autograph book, pen, stickers and Docker Bag. Really good actually, expecially considering he also has season tickets.

It case you didn’t realise, the Dockers beat Calton. Listening to George Grizzleguts today, and some other commentators, you would have thought we lost!

The first half showed what Freo are capable of. If we get it together for four quarters, watch out!

As we were setting up yesterday for the concert I was half listening to the Eagles game against the Crows. They did very well to get up and win……………….unfortunately!!!!!!

Big effort yesterday.
Well worth it as we saw about 80-100 non church people involved and about 60 of our own folk there.
It was probably not as big a crowd as we would have liked, but the weather and Osborne Park show may have conspired against us.

Positives: Band sounded awesome, Micks music was given the appropriate and deserved treatment.

60 – 100 people heard many times about the message of Christ. You cannot put a value on this. As Alf reminded us on Sunday morning, God’s word does not return void, and if one person moves closer to God, its well worth it.

I heard about a number of our church folk talking to different people in the crowd, a special thanks to Bev and Melinda and Sandy, and others, who got around and spoke to heaps of folk and made friends.

A big thanks to Paul Ahearn, your hard work is appreciated.

But most of all to Eliot, who brought the band together in what was at times trying circumstances.

Lets pray and think about where God is taking us next.

Our church is helping organise this, along with the local Inglewood P & C and some sponsorship from Ray White on Walcott and Charcoal Chicken,

Should be fantastic!

Would love to see you there.
