Highlight Moment from my life #48: World’s Most Famous Dolphin – No_bob

Many of you will know of No_bob, the world’s most famous stuffed dolphin. But you may not know the story. In 2000 i flew to the UK to earn some money teaching [due to an unfortunate police clearance incident i only ended up doing five days of actual teaching which was a high-or-low-light of itself and mostly looked after old people or University professors, who were about equally competent] so that i could join Youth [...]

wherefore art thou john of ellis?

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 [...]

who would win a fight between matt redman [never once did we walk alone] and john ellis [formerly of tree63]?

i've been blogging for a little over two years now and i enjoy having a space to write my thorts or share my actions or be seriously silly or intriguingly insightful and a whole host of other stuff in between... and in that time it is the stuff i've written on relationships that has been the most widely read... so from 'How to Love Your Woman Better' to keys to 'having a good marriage [ideas [...]

R2U2… or 'd' or something…

so friday nite there was a U2 concert or something, apparently.. you wouldn't know by being on facebook at all - hardly a person mentioned whether they were going or not going or hating everyone that was going and kept reminding them about it or throwing their Steve Hofmeyer (very pricey tickets) into the Jukskei river (my favourite one) in protest... and it's weird cos ever since i knew U2 were coming to South Africa [...]

so mister John of Ellis (formerly of 63 Trees) what i want to know is…

so it seems like people continue to have an interest in the john ellis... um i'm not sure it's a saga, i think you need three movies for that, but new direction-taking-focus-ment? anyways i said to john, "hey john, people have questions" and john said to me "ask me those questions" so i said "Okay, but i just don't have them yet" and so this is where you come in... if you have a question [...]

coffees with john of ellis

so as part of a pretty incredible weekend up in the kwazulu of natal i managed to get some coffee time with john ellis (formerly of tree63 and 'john ellis has hung up his cross and become a giant piece of plasticine' fame) to hear his version of where he is at and whether he still loves Jesus (he does, whoops i hope that wasn't one of the 'between you and me' moments we shared, [...]

an enGAGeingful nite

so last week at enGAGE (sun eve congregation gathering at stellenbosch vineyard church) we had over 40 people there including a bunch of first-timers and roymond preached up an elijah storm in his first ever preach on the firetruck in the desert and your buckets capacity... at the start of the service i challenged the congregation to be more committed in terms of choosing to hang with us more regularly (attendance can be a bit [...]

hanging up john ellis of tree63

so i managed to track down the john ellis article that started all the 'fun' and am very much looking forward to having caffeine with the man when i hit durban this week to hear more of where his heart is (and cos, hey, caffeine!!) but i'm not too sure he is going to be poster boy for pagans anonymous just yet - also take some time to read some of the comments by christians [...]

the real deal [may contain traces of john ellis and anne rice]

cool, i really enjoyed my teaspoons/socks post earlier today cos it feels like the most for me thing i've written on here lately - almost like i've slipped into writing for an audience again which is not what i wanted my blog to be - aware of the audience yes (and my responsibility there) but writing what i want to write and what is more real than just giving a lesson... anyways i have a [...]
