Leroy Jetta and the draft

I dont know much about the players about to try their luck in the AFL draft, but I hope Freo pick up Leroy Jetta. From what I read in the Sunday Times today, the kid has the right attitude.

“I would like to stay in Perth if I got drafted by the Dockers, I hate the Eagles”

now there is a young man with his head screwed on right!!!

Johnny Cash, "Hurt" and baggage

Great Sunday this week, with our focus on “baggage”. This week we spent quite bit of time on personal reflection. I am hoping that folk who may never have really thought or done this type of thing before, may start.

Life Coaches, CEO’s, effective leaders all tell us something the Bible has always said, there are times in our lives when we need to stop and meditate. Not empty our minds, but allow the Holy Spirit to fill it. Allow God to deal with us, not the guy next door, not our spouse, but us.

I showed the Johnny Cash video “Hurt”. Talk about powerful! Johnny sings the Nine Inch Nails song with passion and conviction. I dare say he did far better with it than the original writer, Trent, who said, “that song is no longer mine”. The video hows Johnny Cash close to death and reflecting with regret on “his kingdom made of dirt”. He regrets the choices he made, the people he hurt, the life he led, in fact he regrets, and this is the most important thing, the person he is.

God can change that, and give hope to us, not only for our lives but also for who we are, He can change us.

Idle Confessions

Okay, I confess, I watch Australian Idol.
Every Sunday my wife loves it, and I have got sucked in, the drama, the anger at Mark Holden’s dribble. Marcia being sickeningly nice.
Is it just me, or is the quality of this years singers far better than years gone by?
Here is my rundown on the contestants left after Youth Alive singer and committed Christian “Mutto” was voted out (TAB odds follow)
Dean Geyer – Pretty boy, not a great singer, but makes good choices in regard to song selection. 15 year old girls who actually vote might get him over the line.
$4.00
Damien Leith – Great singer
$4.00
Jessica Mauboy – Great voice, not the best perfomer, but likeable
$5.50
Bobby Flynn – Unique artist, judges love him. I like him too, but I probably would not buy his album. I think he will win, and be a worthy winner.
$7.50
Lisa Mitchell – Waif like folk singer, talented, young, niave, cant see her winning
$8.50
Chris Murphy – Excellent performer. Wont win, not pretty enough, but by far my favourite contender and a considerably better singer and performer than his brother
$9.00
Lavina Williams – Good singer, don’t really connect with her, and can’t see her making it much further
$9.50
Ricky Muscat – Will survive for a little longer on 15 year old girl vote
$21.00

For KM

Someone told me I was being too nice about the Weagles winning the GF, too concilitory.
So as not to dissapoint anyone who prefers the “chip on the shoulder Mark”, I present this picture which Nathan Jarvis, Dockerland regular and author, produced.

Spring Fair

Here is the flyer I have done up for our spring fair.
This annual event is well organised and a big event on our church calender. Probably the biggest thing we do and the most strategic in ‘gathering’ in all the people who come to our various community programs.
