another psalm from David and again, it appears as if he hadn't committed his major facefall yet as he is still muttering about those who have "no fear of God before their eyes." [vs. 1] but once he has gotten over looking at "them" and "their awful sin" he has some useful things to say [so useful we turned them into songs... from songs into other songs that it] Your love, Lord, reaches to the [...]
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 [...]
