This post should go under the category….Mark rambling about things he knows very little about….

I dont understand why people say they are buying a Prius…when buying a new car surely uses more resources than what a Prius ever saves….

I dont understand why hippy greenie lefties drive old bomb cars which are incredibly inefficient and dont have catalytic convertors…which I know from previous experience in the industry, actually are very effective at reducing harmful gases.

Either way….

Jesus withdrew to pray….

What a beautiful day to be in Perth….
Had a great service this morning, the band was great, and Colin spoke well…we also heard about Sandy’s trip to Karratha and Colin’s trip to India….both opportunities to serve…

I tucked my head into the Babylonia Cafe this week…and dropped some 5 senses beans in. I am hoping we can work together on some community events, and it would be good if he could serve up some great coffee from his central coffee shop…really nice guy.

Then this afternoon we had a family lunch…and a nice bottle of Amberly followed by a swim….my daughter is learning to swim….she is so cute…..just perfect (except when she is arguing with her brother!)

The pastors life….
Kicked off the week with a wedding. A lovely couple, the wife comes to our church and is involved.
A small and quiet simple ceremony, with just immediate family in attendance, and Eliot singing a John Lennon wedding song….

Then two funerals yesterday. One for a ladies husband who I have only known recently…amazing what sort of things come out at a funeral. He was an Irish larrikan, a likeable sort of fellow who worked as a nurse at RPH for 30+ years. Quite interesting to think of a male nurse starting up in that profession that long ago….aparrently a jokestar….always up for a laugh…

Then the funeral of Brian Brand. He was an amazing guy, and it showed with who was there for the funeral…..many members of WA politics, and social standing. Brian was devoted to helping others, quick with a joke, the sort of guy who was incredibly personable and warm and generous….

Draining! Even though I did not perform either funeral, in some ways it was a draining day. Emotional, seeing people go through all that stuff….

Here is a video I made up for our church launch…..
The original is almost 100megs….but if anyone wants it, I will try and upload it shortly.

A church video I made up based on the idea that we need to ‘be still and know that I am God’ in a busy world. You can download a wmv version by by right clicking HERE. Just let me know how and if you use it.
