The Australian reports on the Farmer return, with the most significant line being this one,
“Fremantle made it clear yesterday that any chance of him playing at AFL level earlier than round 12 was not the agenda, but Farmer could make a personal plea for an earlier return”

Alison Fan has got a petition together with about 300 signatures from lawyers of all people.
As tempting as it is to bring him back, we dont want to go down the road of another team we all know and dislike, and go soft on our players…..

The writer of “Wild at Heart” a great book….This is a quote from an interview he did talking about men.

“We have to start with the heart,” he began, “whether we’re after a mythic life, a poetic life, a spiritual life, or a transcendent life, the heart is the ‘wellspring of life within you.'” [From an ancient Hebrew proverb.]
Eldredge said most “modern enlightened men” live by the Greek model of the personality which divides the head (reason) and the heart (emotion).
“Your feelings from the heart are the most profound, the deepest, the truest you,” he said. “The heart is the source of your memories, passions and desires. It’s where you do your life. I believe there are universals written on the human heart. And, what’s so awesome about that is there are particulars as well. You may love to write and think, while another man loves to build and to construct things. Another person loves to sing. The uniqueness of the human heart helps us share the essential universals between us. That’s what makes getting to know a person so fascinating.”

After watching him almost single handedly drag us back into contention against those “flat runners” on Sunday, I wonder if Peter is not the ‘spiritual leader’ of our club?
Pavlich is a awesome player, but is continually having to play on at least two players, and his form has been pretty average the past few weeks.
Come on Belly, you want success at Freo as much as anyone.
The shortest man on the team has one of the biggest hearts…..

I have finally caught up on uploading the messages from the past three weeks.

This first one was pretty much ‘off the cuff’ after my laptop died on the Sunday morning as I went to print it off. I had some notes, but it was an interesting experience. I talk about what makes us happy and reference what is going on in Ben Cousins’ life.
It is the first sermon in 15+ years of preaching that I have not used a full manuscript.

This second one was at the dedication service of one of the babies in our church called Rebekah. It is a interesting story, and I think people really enjoyed it, and were hopefully challenged. There were a lot of visitors and guests at the service.

This final one is the message Quentin gave on Sunday morning. He gives his own testimony and then a powerful challenge on the personal responsibility each one of us have to share our faith.
