so this one goes out to the DTYCLE fans [of which i can name at least 6 of you] - i have created two polls of five choices each to see which of the videos you like best and would appreciate it if you could take a quick minute to add your vote and if you need a refreshers course on any of the videos they can all be found here. or here. but certainly [...]
well if you know me a little bit, you know i am not a big fan of resolutions [nice-sounding generally-empty promises you make to yourself and keep for a week at the beginning of each year] but i did write a piece on new year's evolutions once with the idea of putting things into play that will actually change you or your circumstances or community... and being mid-way through the year is a great time [...]
hi, my name are Brad Fish and i like to make videos to can have warn you of things you may not have previously been warned about and so i have came up with a series what are called 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' - these are full of the education and should be passed on to your friends and family and even maybe those who are only a little bit of your enemy [...]
so in trying to find a way to make the psalms more accessible to someone looking for a specific one i came up with the idea of this blog which can send you to any of the first 35 psalms you might want to check out - the idea was always to grab a thought or two from each psalm and comment and hope that others would jump in and do the same so please [...]
been great hearing some thoughts from my friends and may have some more at a later stage but back to me for now... with psalm 35: as i was reading this psalm [of david once again calling besmitement upon his enemies for all the nasty things they are doing or plotting against him] i had the thought that david's only reference was the old testament God... now one of the big contentions of the Bible [...]
i attended a workshop by Brian Mclaren entitled 'Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?' now anyone who knows my Brian Mclaren history knows it didn't start well - i read a book of his whose title i can't remember but who most fans of his writing have told me is not one of his greatest books and i wasn't that impressed - don't even know if i finished it - [...]
today Dana and i came up with the concept of 'mental ticks' which are pretty much exactly the same as real ticks with the one exception being that they don't exist [except in the mind]. the paranoia birthed from having had to dislodge two rather dug-in ticks from the crotchial [groinal?] area at last year's festival creates the idea in your head of itchiness on your body and so you start to envisage the accompanying [...]
it just took me about 40 minutes to climb into a hammock [Beths]. both from the point of it being a little high [i had to eventually fetch 2 rocks to stand on to climb in - to cheering from the campfire crowds thirty metres away i had hoped weren't watching!] and me being a little scared my weight would rip the hammock [it didn't!] and cos i had to stop 3 times to kill [...]
so the past 4 days the simple way crew headed off to the Wild Goose which is a festival of music and speaking and art and a lot more which happened last year for the very first time [and which was one of the first experiences the beautiful Val and myself had after joining the Simple Way] and so i thort i'd write some reflections on it day to day but nothing too intense because [...]
so i have been trying to connect with john ellis for quite a while now via Facebook and email and his website [which looks like it hasn't been updated for half a year] and so just wondering what has happened to him? any of his friends have a contact detail for me to try hook up? any news? i still get a couple of hits a day on the john ellis blogs which i did [...]
