yes, like you, i am over it. and yes, i still have not read the book, altho mostly because i have not had the opportunity to yet. however, because my friend sean du toit posted the link i had to at least check it out [i trust sean] and this really does seem to be the most balanced view of the new rob bell book that i have read as it highlights stuff rob gets [...]
this morning i walked up the mountain [slash glorified hill] above the stellenbosch sports fields with my friends megs and gnomus and a cup of BP coffee at a few minutes past 6 in the morning... we walked to the rough wooden cross and found a place to sit and stared across the valley at the luminated cross in the distance [til they switched it off]... there was more cloud cover than actual sun but [...]
a lot of people don't like the church - some people outright hate it [cos of things they've seen, experienced, heard about or feel the church has done to them], others are not fans [disillusioned, frustrated, confused, bored] while others just don't really care either way... i, on the other hand, love the church [as do many others and as does God which is always a good indicator] and i'm not talking about a specific [...]
so a quick recap then: # everyone has sinned and as the bible says "fallen short of the glory (or high standard) of God" # the wages/punishment/outcome of sin is death (both now in various areas, but also spiritually and eternally at the end) # on Easter Friday, the man many believed had come to save the world is lying stretched out on a cross, dying an agonising death. # one of the statements Jesus [...]
so for anyone out there not familiar with the Christian faith, this is what this holiday is all about in the shell of a nut: # mankind is sinful - this is a pretty easy one to verify - read a newspaper, watch the news, hang out with yourself for a 24 hour period or anyone else that you like or specifically some people you don't - you don't need test tubes in a lab [...]
So somebody suggested i create a separate site just for brett andy's and it is probly still under construction in terms of getting the right look and feel, but here is a look at brett andy mock I - only one brett andy on it thus far but will add regularly as and when i have them... feel free to bookmark and spread around... Check it out here http://brettandy.wordpress.com or here... But definitely not here.
more brett andy's - i think of these the weaker ones are weaker and the stronger ones are stronger but if you could leave a comment as to which are your favourites or just your top one, that will be very helpful, thank-you: "I imagine it must be fairly awkward when the slow dance music starts playing at a Smurf club." [brett andy] "I think if aliens ever invaded our planet and spoke a kind [...]
none of the time. i had this quick thort when we went shopping yesterday afternoon - as we were in the line about to pay we realised we were six eggs short of a full basket, or that we might need more than the six we were going to get, so tbV waited in line and i ran across Pick 'n Pay to the egg section to grab some eggs - looked for the cheapest [...]
so yesterday's "this is what the andersons are going to be up to" bloggage received a lot more attention than i suspected it would, and pretty firmly divided into two groups of responses: those who knew us, who said nice things about us and wished us good times and most importantly got excited with us for this adventure that we are about to embark on those who don't know us who by and large said [...]
so after weeks and months it is finally official - the beautiful val and myself received an invite letter from the simple way to join them by 15 june to start a 19 month job slash ministry... for those of you who don't know anything about the simple way i suggest you get hold of a book called 'the irresistible revolution' by a guy called shane claiborne - one of my top three books ever [...]
