I was reading and praying through a overseas missionary prayer letter I recieve and one segment caught my attention.
A group which cares for an orphanage in a Asian country are showing the movie “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. But thats not the interesting part. They are showing it on a tv which the local mafia have donated to the orphanage. The local mafia are into long term planning and see the orphanage as an ideal staff recruitment resource.

Thats pretty sick.

But its interesting the Christian group are using what the evil group gave as a wonderful tool for good. What the Devil plans for evil, Gods people can redeem and use for good.

How would you feel though, about using money a local mafia group had donated for some church work?

Cameron has quit as CEO of the Dockers….personal reasons.

Cameron is without doubt the best performing CEO in the league.
He came in when the club was a financial basketcase, in debt for millions.
He has overseen the best increase in membership of any club, and tranformed us into a very well sponsored club…..and one of the financial powerhouses.

Well done Schwabby….thanks.

My wife is a seriously good cook, and with her doing a chef course, she has taken it up a level or three….she cooked the most beautiful roast chicken, some friends bought around a great bottle of Margaret River Red….and she made a exquisite pavlova roll thingo…stuffed with rasberries and coated in a passionafruit glaze….seriously good.
Then I made some good coffee with some new beans I found at the local grocer….

Now I am just kicking back and looking forward to reading the paper tommorow…and enjoying the afterglow of a Derby win.

1. Its Freo’s grand final….they always try harder than the Eagles for this game
2. The umpires were bias
3. Freo are Pavlich centrich
4. Josh Carr is mean to our players
5. Jeff Farmer celebrates too much when he kicks a goal
6. We don’t get no respect from the Freo coach
7. We are still ahead of you on the ladder…..aren’t we? Surely we are? what??!?!? Well we should be….
8. Its not fair, I don’t watch much footy anymore anyway….leave me alone.

All that matters is the following….

12.15 (87) to 10.13 (73)

So nice to be looking forward to church on Sunday….its has been exciting the last few weeks….what is God going to show us this week as we gather together for corporate worship?

There is so much to look forward to in life, God gives joy, purpose and meaning….
I am in a great place at the moment. Compared to how things have been, I just need to be grateful for a while.

I also am experiencing what Hybels calls “Holy Discontent”. There is so much opportunity around at the moment for our gathered community, the fields are ready to harvest….we just want the harvest to start coming in.

Um…..what to say about this…its funny, and an equal opportunity offender as well!!
