I dont get the TAB……
How can they not have the Kangaroos as favourites against Adelaide???
They are playing exceptional football, playing a side that is quite ordinary at the moment.

Interesting that the odds of Freo V Bullies is even money. For sure, if the Bullies had not sold off their home game to the NT, and instead played in Melbourne, they would be favourties. As it is, Freo have an away game at a neutral venue. I watched the Bulldogs last week against the Lions, and although I felt sorry for two of their key players going down with injuries, I was not unhappy that if it had to happen, it happened just before Freo play them!

There is an awful lot to not like about the internet and the changes it has made to our society and culture.
Porn, addiction, war games, anger, bitterness, living duplicitous lives etc…..

But there is also a lot of good things about it.
For one thing, I can keep in easy contact with good friends overseas. We can remain friends, at least on some normal level. We know whats going on in each others lives, we can pray for, care for and support each other.
Thats a great thing…..

Some Christians never experience God speaking to them in personal, powerful ways.
Though they read their bibles, and read the book of Acts, their lack of experience of Gods voice, means they filter it and interpret the supernatural out of the Christian life. They are Christians, but they never experience the fullness of Gods revelation. This is not meant to be judgemental, it is an observation.

There may be different reasons, unbelief, no desire to hear more, God has His own reasons…..

I have heard from God in ‘charisma’ ways a few times, most often when I was under spiritual attack, at a crisis point, or deep in prayer and fasting…….

All of us say we want to hear from God, and sometimes we desperatly seek Him and don’t hear from Him.
Its not an easy question to answer, why doesn’t God speak to me.
But I do know what we can do to best place ourselves so God will speak.

Experience spiritual attack
Have a crisis time
Seek Him in prayer and fasting
Find yourself at a place and an opportunity where God needs to direct you.

Do you want God to speak to you, if He did would it change anything……or are you pretty content with how everything is?

How much do we expect others to trust us?
What does it mean to trust another?
How hard is it to regain someone’s trust?

I hope I’m easy when it comes to giving grace and forgiveness to those who might have neglected my trust. After all, God forgives me, time and time again.

But it does help when someone is open and ‘confesses’ openly and freely. I reckon that helps God forgive us easily too.

There is not much better that a weekend when the Dockers win, and the Eagles lose.
Apart from perhaps a weekend when the Dockers win, and the Eagles lose and this happens……
“Saint Kilda v Kangaroos Gareth tips Saint Kilda for the last time this season if they lose!!!!!!! Karyn tips Kangaroos”

Aaaaaah 🙂
