New Audio Thort… Terry Pratchett speaks…

first some hearts, then to the brett-cave…
so yes, this week has finally arrived [in the haze of the bigger picture of "what are you doing this year brett?" having resigned from my job at vineyard church end of last year after 6 years of student/youth ministry due to it being the end of a good season and being in a place of waiting on God for the next plan of action...] and the plan for this week is to try and [...]
can i not just start enjoying this big thing now?
not to be confused with 'can't i just enjoy this big thing first?' some people refuse to let go of stuff. and it kills them. some people it actually genuinely physically kills them, cos you can trace ulcers and other stress-related diseases and conditions to the unforgiveness and disappointments that they held onto for a considerable amount of their lives someone once said "holding onto unforgiveness is like drinking a cup of poison and hoping [...]
Pearls before You
i'm not going to lie, i think Pearls Before Swine (ah, you got it, did you?) is one of the greatest cartoons ever - you can now see animated versions of some of them via You Tube podcast - i love it - today's one is brilliant and typical - keep on stephan pastis, keep on... for more of these or to find his collections or receive the daily comic, head here...
can't i just enjoy this big thing first?
what is with people and 'the next big thing?' - you've been single forever and you finally get yourself a girlfriend and within a month or two (especially if you're older) people are like, "so, when's the big day?" you get married and within a month or two (way before the plans settle on any kind of one year wedding anniversary preparation) it's the knowing smirks and, "so, kids hey?" and so on, and those [...]
brilliant article on love
this morning i gave a brief talk at somerset college on the difference between God's love and our (worldly) love and it went really well - but then the beautiful val sent me this link to this article on the relevant magazine site which i really think is so toyoda'ly written in terms of really capturing a lot of what it is about... check it out here... and please pass it on - so, so, [...]

i assume that this post will lose me a lot of respect and so it's quite fortunate i don't feed off that stuff - but there are a couple of songs that i have bought from ovi music store in the last couple of months that i keep sticking on repeat cos they make me happy... they are the following in no particular order: [1] bought this morning: 'Techno Band' by Lonehill Estate - what [...]
one reason i love my wife, part vision
there are lots and lots of reasons but i've decided every now and then to celebrate by highlighting one of them... so today my beautiful wife [aka valerie slash tbV] decided she needed to go thru cupboards and stuff and get rid of crap. my response, "yes, let's get rid of crap, yay." her response was "hey, can we offer this stuff to Churien, the lady who comes and helps us clean our house once [...]
shtupidt people, part stellenbosch pedestrians…
i have a saying that 'people tend towards stupid' and generally life (and smokers flinging cigarette butts out of car windows) continues to prove me correct on this one... another prime example of this seems to be the mono-dimensional thort patterns of pedestrians in stellenbosch who will be walking along the pavement, possibly talking to a friend or messaging on their phone or vibing by themself and then they come to a road intersection and [...]
