Off to vote at my local PS on Saturday.

While eating some soft boiled eggs, and pondering the shape of them compared with Mr Howard’s head,
I have been watching our PM on the “Press Club”….
He is the archetypal performer on camera and answering questons….
Brilliant, quick on his feet……a lot of laughter as well.
(No matter what your view on him is)

For church this Sunday…..Q speaking….should be fun!

Here is our theme for December, you heard it here first!

“Food is something you have between coffee”

(Mark E)

Now you know!

Had a interestiong conversation with a bloke last week. He is a strong, tough guy. Works in a male dominated environment, rides a motorbike etc etc.

Because of work commitments he can’t make church every week, but he made a interesting comment to me. He said I need to come to church and just get involved in the singing. It gives me strength. Strength? This guy could flatten a lot of guys in a bar fight. What strength does he mean? Well he, like a lot of blokes, probably most of us, has struggles in the ‘relationship’ area of his life. He does not have a Christian upbringing, in fact he became a Christian in his 20’s. But coming to church, singing together, brings some tangible strength to him which he does not find anywhere else.

“It is the voice of the church that is heard in singing together. It is not you who sings, it is the church that is singing, and you as a member of the church may share in its song.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Worship in singing does transform the world, if it provides us with energy, renewal and purpose for the week, or in some cases the month ahead.
