so yes, this week has finally arrived [in the haze of the bigger picture of "what are you doing this year brett?" having resigned from my job at vineyard church end of last year after 6 years of student/youth ministry due to it being the end of a good season and being in a place of waiting on God for the next plan of action...] and the plan for this week is to try and [...]
brilliant article on love
this morning i gave a brief talk at somerset college on the difference between God's love and our (worldly) love and it went really well - but then the beautiful val sent me this link to this article on the relevant magazine site which i really think is so toyoda'ly written in terms of really capturing a lot of what it is about... check it out here... and please pass it on - so, so, [...]
one reason i love my wife, part vision
there are lots and lots of reasons but i've decided every now and then to celebrate by highlighting one of them... so today my beautiful wife [aka valerie slash tbV] decided she needed to go thru cupboards and stuff and get rid of crap. my response, "yes, let's get rid of crap, yay." her response was "hey, can we offer this stuff to Churien, the lady who comes and helps us clean our house once [...]
put your hands down and step away from the baby…

spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, less wonderful spam… part ii]
i enjoy blogging - i like the opportunity to pour my thorts and deep musings as well as my heavily superficial hopefully humorous nut job ramblings out onto virtual paper that a couple of other people may read and be challenged or amused or impacted or shaken by... and i enjoy engaging with people - i love it when people disagree with me if they have a good argument that shows they are really thinking [...]
what these andersons are up to in 2011…
in terms of life catchup and our favourite question of ‘so what are you doing next year?’ which has suddenly become ‘so what are you doing this year?’ [wow, so quick] the answer is that my wife - the beautiful Val – is finishing up her thesis – handing in second draft this week and final draft second week of feb – and we are still waiting on God and trying to listen and hear [...]
