Tommorow


Tommorow is the launch of our new church.
Graham Mabury coming to speak.
Kids assembling the worlds biggest banana split…
or at least our version of it!

Cant wait.
Significant moment in the life of our community.

Let you know how it went tommorow!

Pray for Orissa

There are some truly awful things happening to Christians in Orissa, India.
If you are so inclined, please pray for them.
A Christian woman told of her husband being cut to pieces before her eyes.A man described his brother being burned alive in his home after refusing to deny Christ.These are two of the hundreds of stories emerging from India, where anti-Christian attacks carried out by mobs of extremist Hindus in the eastern state of Orissa have yet to be quelled.

Houston responds to Michael Guglielmucci

I really hope and pray Michael Guglielmucci finds forgiveness and healing. I just hope at some point he is able to thank God for his wife and kids, and be at peace with himself.
I also hope that when all of us who are Christians dismay and even disgrace Christ, we can find forgiveness, restoration and grace.
Brian Houston has responded to the Michael Guglielmucci situation.

In my view, Houstons response is an honest and upfront statement, from someone, who like most, if not all, were duped.

“This is easily the biggest and most elaborate hoax I have ever personally witnessed. I still am perplexed by it.I have never felt any reason to question the validity of Michael’s story. I guess you don’t greet such horrific news as cancer with cynicism, and it’s a sad day when we have to do that.I have known Michael’s parents since we were young people ourselves and they are great and genuine people. When Danny called me in 2006 to tell me of his sons illness I felt absolutely lost for words as he sobbed on the telephone. This family did not deserve such utter pain.I just didn’t have any reason to doubt his story. There were one or two things that were hard to work out such as how anyone could function with multiple broken bones (I was in agony with one broken elbow, but I just thought I must have been a wimp.)I saw Michael as an unbelievably gutsy and courageous man who was refusing to just lie down and accept his diagnosis.”

Rudd is hamstrung

Reading today about how Kev is trying to get different budgetary items through the senate. Just about everything is getting blocked.

Whatever you think about Rudd, this does not make sense to me.

The guy has been elected our prime minister. We are going to hold him accountable for what he does and doesn’t do as our countries leader. Yet….he cant do what he believes is right.

There should be some mandate that he is given. We then can hold him accountable at the next election, but to stop the guy from leading does not make sense to me.

No one wants a dictator…but no one wants someone who is appointed to lead, but then not allowed to lead.

Busselton, Beer and Beautiful Weather

Seriously, the weather is beautiful if you are on holidays.

Unlike super old wimp Hamo, the Edwards family headed off to Busselton this weekend, to get away before the busyness of our Church Celebration Service, and following the busyness of our Church Merge.
I love the wind, scattered rain and cool of the South West.

I love the South West Ale found at the Bootleg Brewery,
I loved the indoor heated pool for the kids and family focus found at the Mandaly Resort

But most of all I love my wife and two beautiful children, and speading some time with them, and just them.
