Someone who does not know the bible well, might think it is some super spiritual book, well it certainly is that, but it is also the story of some very ordinary people. Its just that often they find themselves in extraordinary conditions, and they certainly find themselves engaging with an extraordinary God.
Our best hope this weekend for a great Monday read of the West.
With the inconsistent but in form Geelong playing the Weagles, and Freo up against finals pretenders Hawthorn, it is the best chance for that glorious occaision when Freo win and the Eargirls lose.
Here’s hoping…….

I need to read Phil’s and others thoughts as part of my routine, come on Phil! 🙂
Seth Godin is brilliant….this post made me think
“More perfect
Most people in the US can’t cook. So you would think that reaching out to the masses with entry-level cooking instruction would be a smart business move.
In fact, as the Food Network and cookbook publishers have demonstrated over and over again, you’re way better off helping the perfect improve. You’ll also sell a lot more management consulting to well run companies, high end stereos to people with good stereos and yes, church services to the already well behaved.”
woh Seth! Slow down a bit…..
Churches for the well behaved might be ‘succesful’ in that they get bigger. But they are not succesful if you consider that the Church actually exists to bring people to Christ, to see their lives transformed……
Its a lot harder, but we are not succesful if we grow a big church, we are succesful if we see people who never used to follow Christ, start to follow him.
Your faith bridges the gap between your humanity and eternity…..
This week I tipped with my heart, not my head, and backed the Dockers against the Lions.
Bec has surged ahead, but luckily, at least according to this ladder, St Gaz is still far behind, which at the end of the day is all that really matters.

If the Dockers don’t arrest this beginning of season slump and start to play the exciting confident footy that got them into a prelim last year, there are going to be a heap of dissapointed Freo people around the place.
This season is not looking great so far, but with Haddrill, Browne, Peake and maybe Farmer to come back in, maybe we can turn things around.
Otherwise we may be looking for a new coach in 2008
