Financial Crisis…what crisis?

I realise this post comes from a position of a fair amount of ignorance….so forgive me in advance but….

Since the crisis has kicked in our family…

1. has had its monthly mortgage greatly reduced, meaning we have maintained the level of repayment, but are seriously eating into the principle, with the promise of further cuts to come

2. Our petrol bill has been reduced by a third, I got petrol today for 1.08, when last month I was paying up to $1.55

3. We are receiving $2000 from our new best friend, Kevin Rudd, which will pay for our holiday next July

What concerns me
Every government in the world is instituting massive public works projects, including China. This is not good for our long term environmental goals
Seniors who are dependent upon their Super are suddenly discovering their net worth is halved or worse….
Young people who have been full of optimism and courage about their future, and thus were willing to dream, may now have to reassess their life goals.

why is it…some rambles….

that churches with ‘Grace’ in their title are normally anything but…

that people think a version of the scriptures which has been categorically proved to be one of the most innacurate….is the one they insist using…

that some folk insist that a song written in the 1800’s is somehow more holy than those written in 2008…..

that some who insist the church be tolerant….then are very intolerant of the church….

that sometimes people’s selfishness riles me…when I struggle with selfishness….

that I encourage people to show faith…but struggle with courage to follow through on my convictions….and be bold…..

Sunday Times Bias and Crap journalism

Jay Clark….take a bow….you enter the race for the newly announced and very prestigious Markedly award for crap journalism…and bias against Freo…
Jay writes in this mornings Sunday Times…

” the focus this summer under out-of-contract coach Mark Harvey was not making the top eight or winning the premiership, but rather playing to potential, and winning as many games as possible. “

Ummmm Jay…your a dork!! And seeking to whiteant the club…like the rest of the WA Media…

Mark Harvey actually has a 3 year contract from 2007….which takes him up till 2010..

There is however one underperforming coach who led his side to a 15th finish…and a lets win at all costs to society mentality…who is out of contract at the end of 2009….

Axeheads dont float

Spoke on Elisha this morning from 2 Kings 6…

got an axe on the front stage and a big plastic crate full of water.
the axe did not float….mmmmm….

Used it throughout the message as an illustration that God can do the unexpected, the unnatural, the supernatural…we should not limit God to our own experience, or even natures laws.

I reckon if people can remember one thing during the week from the message, which is an encouragement, a blessing…something that challenges and changes them…that is good.
