Eagles by a point

March 31st, 2007

The West Coast Eagles (my AFL team) have beaten the Sydney Swans tonight by 1 point….again. I don’t know how much more of this my heart can take. I am sure I started following the Eagles for relaxation, it doesn’t seem like it at the moment!
It reminds me of back in the 1990s when I [...]

Walking her home

March 28th, 2007

Our local radio station Sonshine FM just played Mark Shultz’s song “Walking her home”.

When I think of humbling yourself before God I am reminded of those old lunchtime movies we used to watch as kids. You know those ones [...]

Seize the day

March 21st, 2007

Each lunch time I go for a walk in Kings Park. It is to have a break, to grab some exercise and spend some time alone in prayer.
