Weekly Photo Challenge: (Lost in the Details)

i attended a formula 1 grand prix last year in Austen, Texas, which was basically a dream-i-never-would-have-realistically-had come true as i had been watching the sport since i was in primary school... and in the midst of this international event, sitting flanked by people of all nationalities from all around the world, i had the joy of seeing this South African flag draped casually over someone's chair near me... great reminder of home in the [...]

Part 3 of the Andersons next journey – the excitement of support

this is also my 800th blog post altho that is completely irrelevant but a nice round number nonetheless... so if you are reading this, then by now you know that myself and tbV are heading to Oakland, California to work with Common Change, and you also probably have some idea of what our specific roles with CC look like, and so the last thing i want to comment on is the support aspect. Val and [...]

The specifics of Brett and Val's work in Oakland, CA…

so by now, anyone that is interested [and possibly some that aren't] knows that tbV and i will be heading to Oakland, California just across from San Francisco [come visit!] in the short next while to be working with Relational Tithe/Common Change and you also have an idea of what that is all about and how it works... but a lot of people have been asking about the specifics of what each of us will [...]

Brett and Val in Oakland, California…

well i thought everyone who was interested had an idea of what we are doing next but having explained our next moves three times to people in the last few days i figured it wouldn't hurt having another explanation up - for those of you who have heard this, you can skip this one... from June 2011 to Dec 2012 the beautiful Val [tbV] and i were working and living with the Simple Way in [...]

how to make this man cry at an airport.

i don't cry a lot. not because i don't want to, i just don't. i have spent many prayers through the years asking God to make me cry more and for the most part He doesn't. there was a moment on a bench outside of a Simple Way retreat last year where the tears came and my wife was around to witness it and it was short and very much linked to God and worship [...]

introducing the powerful writer i share my life with.

my wife, the beautiful Val [tbV], is an incredible writer who does not blog often enough - i tell he this often and she agrees and one hope i have of this coming 18 months where our work week looks like it should be a lot closer to 30 hours rather than 80 might just give her the opportunity to do so... if you have never read her stuff before than you should and especially [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Kiss)

with the theme of 'Kiss' there are certainly a lot of different interpretations i could have given to this week's challenge, but the one that i have to share so obviously rises above all of those and that is a kiss between my wife Valerie [aka tbV - the beautiful Val] and myself on my wedding day... but as i searched for the picture i was wanting to use, namely this one which for me [...]

when your computer starts speaking [horrifically] on your behalf…

so yesterday morning i come downstairs and i log into Facebook and am busy catching up on the nights mail when suddenly a word in another mail in my inbox catches my attention... it's a mail from my wife, the beautiful Val [tbv] with some bank details regarding flight money and my comment below it says, 'bitch, i want all the money' [cue me confused] so i start trying to work out what word i [...]

a response to a nonny miss? part iv: receive your own rebuke

i am continuing this series which i feel has gone so much further than the initial email that got it started and has provided some valuable insights which needed a springboard to launch from. so am daily becoming more grateful for it as it has helped me share what i feel have been some helpful ideas about living life to the full. what i am wanting to look at today is something that i have [...]

“Weekly Photo Challenge: (Love)

with the theme of Love, the first thing that springs to mind has to be God and the beautiful Val... and so the most natural pics to choose would be linked to both, so out of the thousands i chose these two from our wedding, the time of us celebrating and officialising our Love before God and friends... the first one i would title 'catching the first glimpse' as this was the moment that tbV [...]
