used this analogy at youth group i spoke at on Friday - amazing bunch of young people in the lesser known place of Factreton - and then completely convicted during worship singing time in church yesterday morning about how not there i am - making amends this week... log in the middle of a fire - burns solidly, adds to warmth and function of fire log on edge of fire - still burning but maybe [...]
well i guess officially you could say it was late afternoon or early evening, definitely not nite per say but yes, in a complete thrashing of western province cricket club ('hockey team' i should add otherwise it might look like an unfair match-up, oh wait it clearly was) 8 goals to 2, i scored the last (and i like to think, defining) goal of the match. and it was great. i think it was the [...]
more great Jack Handeyisms: I don't pretend to have all the answers. I don't pretend to even know what the questions are. Hey, where am I? I remember when I was in the army, we had the toughest drill sergeant in the world. He'd get right up next to your face and yell, and if you didn't have the right answers, mister, you'd be peeling potatoes or changing the latrine. Hey, wait. I wasn't in [...]
so last i looked we were juuuuust below the 500 mark in the 18 countries 6 months competition and would really dig it if you could vote again cos the more votes the more chances of hitting that lovely random pic much appreciate for anyone who has been and does - one vote every twenty four hour period i believe: thankx a lot may chocolate follow you but not in a stalkery psycho killer way
so i found out yesterday for sure sure that jack handey is a real person - for years i was one (of many apparently - thankx wrinklypedia) who suspected he might not be an actual person but a collective grouping of like minded humourous quote writing peoples quotes anyways i am sure a lot of you have never heard of him and so i decided to post some of my favourite jack handey deep thorts [...]
i just realised i blogged the same quote twice awkward i'll be okay, though, maybe three extra people will read it in fact you would have been far more inspirationalised had you read that one again in fact why are you still reading this one, can't you see it's about nothing in particular it is not going to get better anytime soon, i'm almost sure, so stop reading and go and do something else seriously, [...]
"If you want to build a ship, don't summon people to buy wood, prepare tools, distribute jobs and organise the work. Teach people the yearning for the wide, boundless ocean." Antoine de Saint-Exupery
so i recently wrote a 5 part ‘reasons to hate Christianity’ blog series which was (for those who read it) intended to be a tongue-in-cheek statement on some of the basic things Christianity is actually meant to be about – things like love and forgiveness and looking after people in need which are all things that actually no-one in their right mind would hate... but yet people hate christianity and have issues with the church... [...]
hey hey so i entered this comp where the beautiful val and myself can win a trip of 18 countries in 6 months which would be an amazing in between time for after this season of life and preparation for what's next and hopefully opportunity to write and let's be honest a huge big party at the moment i have 313 votes - it is a lottery so any random person with one vote can [...]
in this amazing book 'Exiles' by Michael Frost i am reading i came upon this quote today by antoine de saint-exupery - 'If you want to build a ship, don't summon people to buy wood, prepare tools, distribute jobs and organise the work. Teach people the yearning for the wide, boundless ocean.' if they build it they will come kind of idea - another move in the big what is church wrestling currently taking place [...]
