Enjoying Christmas

How would it be if you put on a beautiful birthday party for your son.
All the trimmings….you invite his friends, you wrap his presents, you prepare wonderful food.

Then after the day is finished, you turn to your son and you say, “I hate your birthday, its such a hassle”…..

enjoy the day….enjoy Jesus’ birthday…its fantastic!

Sunday Times….sigh….part two

After his fellow journalist at the Sunday Times, Jay Clark, was compelled to apologise in this weeks Sunday Times for making a mistake last week about Mark Harveys contract length….

(Bad journalism) one might have thought that Kim Hagdorn would get it right.

Apparently even though he is paid full time, and apparently studies and knows both West Aussie footy sides, you would think he might get the players numbers right, especially when talking about those numbers specifically!

“Other attractive numbers on offer to Fremantle’s eight new recruits include Matthew Carr’s No.9 and departed ruckman Robbie Warnock’s 21, made more famous by respected former big man Justin Longmuir.” (source)

mmmm….good one Kim…you dork.

Anticipation and I love Sunday afternoons in Inglewood…

There is a lot of great things about being a pastor and involved in a church.
One of them is Sunday afternoon, relaxing after the glow of a great church service. The band did a great job this morning and we kicked off our new series, “how to enjoy Christmas”….I spoke on the ‘Relly Bash”…how to enjoy Christmas with your relatives…My two main points were to create margins for yourself (boundaries) and also to invite Jesus to the party. Jesus first miracle was to turn 160 gallons of water into the best wine available….at a 7 day wedding party. He wants to be invited to the party….

Then…after that…back home with number one son as wife and daughter are off to a birthday party and we did what dads and their sons do…ate some smallgoods and a good loaf of bread….he is playing ‘sponge bob’ and I am reading the paper…aaah.
