1 Corinthians 3

verse 16….the Spirit of God lives within us

like a light leaping out of the page, so this verse touches me and disciplines me. It reminds me again….that I am nowhere near the person I need to be….it reminds me that the HOLY Spirit lives within me…but I am not holy, and often the opposite.

Great Sunday

There was something special about Sunday….cant quite put it down to one thing…but there was so many good things happening in peoples lives and the life of the church.
Really glad God is working….because at times when I dont do much, He seems to do more.

Q spoke from the heart this morning…and the congregation almost seemed shocked…and challenged. Sometimes how we feel about ministry bears little resemblance to what actually happens….because God is good, and uses the little we bring….because we are available.

Its good to be the Pastor at Bedford….the music was great this morning, the vibe was good.

Mathematically Possible

A great start for Harvey, lets be frank. 3 wins out of 4. Thats no fluke. The game plan has been simplified…and Gilmore has been significant.

If Harvey has done nothing else, he has not dropped Gilmore. As much as I liked Connolly, he did drop players inexplicably at times. I enjoy watching Daniel play, he is a simple, positive footballer. And quite frankly with the forward line we have, its a better than 50% bet to kick it long. Farmer, Tarrant, Pavlich…now starting to click.

It may be too late…despite the newfound enthusiasm…but it does look good for next year. But you know what…if we do get in the eight…I reckon we will make another prelim at least.

But I can’t see us beating St Kilda this week at that excuse for a football ground, the Telstra Dome. But if nothing else, it will be good to see St Gaz tip us against his beloved Saints.
And on another point, hows the form of the Freo crowd in contrast to the Eagle Feral Fans (EFF for short). A standing ovation for a coaching legend, a respectful send off for Sheedy from the Freo faithful. This in constrast to the fact we now have 6 policeman at the opposition gate because the Subiaco Oval Ground Manager said the Eagles crowd were the most violent and abusive crowd he has ever seen. They get angry and frustrated when a team outplays them it seems…..
