Thoughts and Amusings

This post is especially written for you to reply to.

Why? because there are a large number of you who read this blog and visit repeatdly and who never reply.... I mean are you stalking me? I mean really people!

While I don't mind talking to myself ( its a teaching thing :) ) the nature of communication is that there is someone to talk to and throw ideas around with.

When was the last time you:

Smiled at someone random in the street?
Looked at God's creation and thanked him for it?
Prayed?
Asked someone for help?
Thought of one of your brothers or sisters in the persecuted church?

This cartoon really speaks for itself. God calls you to be radically different. Live it. Not just at Easter but all year round

Since seeing this a few months ago I have often laughed walking down the streets (if you have seen me doing this - now you know why :P ) at the thought of what OT and NT stories would have been like if our favourite characters were plugged in to Ipods. As this cartoon really convicted me.


Yes I do own an ipod but I now only have 68 (legally downloaded) songs hence I don't listen to it a lot. I used to have gazillions of songs on it but it turned out that I was breaking the law by having them on there ( nz law... way behind the times) ( Romans 13:1 -7) So yes.....

Hey all!

Nice to see you all, and really if you haven't been commenting please do so I know you exist!

So what did I get up to this easter? Good question. I did not go to BYM Easter Camp but I did pray for those of you who went! Big ups to those of you who went and yes I did remember to pray even though my intercessing skills are dreadful :P

Brad and I ( aka the remnant) had a great weekend without the rest of you ......and should really get extra Christian points for all the services we went to... On friday I played piano at LHB morning service, then we went to the cathedral for a very boring Anglican Vigil that basically consisted of silence and the bishops talking and random hymns that consisted of ye olde english. We were the youngest there by a long shot. And yesterday (sunday) we went to Elim for a totally different end of the spectrum where it just so happened they were having a healing service with people falling on the floor. So yes..... I had a very eventful easter.

Seriously though.... This easter has been interesting. I haven't been that well physically or spiritually but have conversed a lot with God about alot of things and people. Those of you that are closest to me will probably be able to guess what I am talking about. This has been incredibly liberating.

One of the main reasons I didn't go to Easter Camp was that I needed a break from LHB people as I was relying on you guys too much and I know that I was draining you too much. Joyce Meyer has this great saying where she says 'Go to the throne and not to the phone' and in all honesty I haven't been doing that lately. So I used this weekend as a sort of detox and have really gone back to Jesus. Yesterday I speant a good hour and more laying on my bed and crying out to him about a whole range of things and I am much better for it. Thank you all for your support lately it has been wonderful, I am especially indebted to those of you that keep asking me the hard questions even when I don't like you asking them. You know who you are and may God bless you richly as we are all in this together!
