the royal pita wedding

where 'p' is for 'pain' there are three kinds of people in the world - those who are obsessed with the royal wedding happening in the uk today between william and kate and those who aren't [the third group being those fortunate enough to have no clue that it is happening, who i assume are the poor and marginalised because if you have a tv or computer you probably cannot avoid having had it thrust [...]

faith, hope and silly attempts at funny one liners

so i haven't been blogging here much lately - largely it's because tbV and i have been doing transcription work for the HSRC which takes up a lot of our time and involves a bigger lot of typing - listening to interviews on audio and typing them out and some of them are not very clear so it's a lot of focus and listening and scribing and so i guess i get a bit overtyped [...]

Rob Bell 'Love Wins' – a seemingly more balanced review by mark keown

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 [...]

sometimes doing nothing is something [Happy Eastering!]

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 [...]

why church is a verb

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 [...]

easter for dummies – part 2 – the save

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 [...]

easter for dummies – part 1 – the problem

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 [...]

brett andy IV

you can please all of the people

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 [...]
