Band of Brothers April at Bedford

For the month of April we are focusing on “Band of Brothers” at Bedford Baptist Church.
Anzac day has evolved into one of the most ‘spiritual’ days on our calendar. I say spiritual because it is a truly a time when average Australians stop to reflect on the deeper meanings of life.
As Christians we can either watch with regret at how traditional Christmas holidays have become increasingly secular, or see the mythology which surrounds the ANZAC spirit as an opportunity to tap into the spiritual nature of the day.

Obviously I am choosing the latter with our monthly theme for April.

Woosha makes me laugh

Sumich comes out and says, in typical non-descript West Coast style, that Mark Harvey is not showing any respect to the Eagles….that in fact he has no respect for the toast. (and why he respect that bunch of ‘win at all cost’ arrogant criminals??)

But thats not what is funny. Hearing ‘vein in kneck throbbing’ Woosha backpedal and deny these comments on channel Eagle and 6pweagle was truly amusing.
Woosha is the master at saying nothing, while talking. Seeing him try to deal with Sumich’s sly spray was a lesson in political speak……

Perspective

Looking for some perspective?
Here is a photo from Nathan’s blog….puts things in perspective eh?

“My name is Nathan. My wife, Tricia has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and had been preparing for a double lung transplant until we discovered we were pregnant.Tricia is the most incredible person I’ve ever met. She keeps me humble and in love. Gwyneth is our beautiful, new, baby girl, born 15+ weeks early.Tricia is back onto the transplant list, and Gwyneth is on her way out of the NICU and into our hearts.This is our story from my perspective…”

Pray for Zimbabwe

Early reports suggest the opposition parties think they are going to win the election. God, I hope and pray so. I know that no matter what else happens, this poor country has a long way to go to recovery, but getting this evil man out of power, who has destroyed this beautiful country, would be a great start.

“Zimbabwe’s main opposition party says it expects to win the country’s general election based on unofficial early returns from Saturday’s vote.
The secretary-general of the Movement for Democratic Change, Tendai Biti, told a news conference Sunday “we have won this election.”

Pray for this man, Morgan Tsvangirai. Here he watches his wife, Susan, right, cast her vote in Harare, 29 Mar 2008.

Great Sunday in church

Sunday after Easter…..expect a little let down, but it did not happen. We had a great time together….but God is doing some things within our church community at the moment…..can’t say too much….but seeing Him at work in people’s lives.

Sometimes you just want to sit back and not touch it, or change it, in case you mess it up.

Well it could have been a lot worse Fremantle Dockers

Hawthorn are a good side, and with Crawford and others back soon, they will only get better.
They kicked a goal in the first minute of the second, third and fourth quarter….
Grover did really well on Buddy Franklin, but Franklin still played well and had an effective game.
The three new players were exceptional.
Rhys Palmer is a gun player…a dead set gun. Seriously, he will play every game this year if he does not get injured.
Ibbotson was great, one tackle which forced a turnover…well I got up on my feet and cheered.
Chris Mayne….well he has great player written all over him. A number of times tonight he forced turnovers….by just attacking the player and the ball.

Yes it was sad we lost, but what I did like about Freo tonight was that they never gave up.
A second term lead ended up being insurmountable, but you know, up until the last few minutes…they kept coming at the Hawks…a resolve which will hold them in good stead.

Other notable things….
Sandilands is starting to fulfill his potential…played well tonight.
Roger Hayden…who is one of my favourites, was responsible for too many clangers.

Jeff Farmer continued his vein of unselfish play, and went through the midfield a lot tonight.
Bell, Pavlich, J Carr all played well.
