This Advent – Stop The Donkeys

Stop The Donkeys

We’d like to invite you to think a bit harder this Christmas. It seems to me that there’s a part of the story of Jesus’ birth that we seldom dwell on, and we’d like to help your community enter into it. If you’re willing. A few weeks ago I participated in a conversation that gave [...]

Lamb Tagine with Dates, Almonds and Pistachios

IMG_1107

Two of our wedding presents were tagines… yes, we were given two tagines, one was a traditional clay tagine, the other a Microstoven tagine. At first we both thought “what the bugger will we do with TWO tagines”!? And, after last night, I can tell you what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna cook a lot [...]

When The World Is Reminded That All We Are Is A Bunch of Munchkins

I can’t help but thinking of the scene where Dorothy enters Oz, her house in tatters, (having been picked up and thrown through the air by a tornado) she climbs out of the house to find that she’s killed a woman, her house has landed smack dab on the body of someone wearing some remarkably groovy slippers.

The iPhone as a self-imposed artificial burning bush…

U2 360

Standing in the “inner circle” under the claw at the second Melbourne as Bono walked past (no, not bragging, just projecting an image heh heh) I looked around at the sea of iPhones and cameras around me, everyone had one, a couple of people never seemed to put it down, many pulled them out every [...]

Rory’s Storycubes

Rory's Story Cubes

Steve Taylor and Rob Hanks have mentioned these little cubed pieces of goodness before on their blogs but I’ve been wanting to talk about them for a while now.  I’ve got a few fantastic resources to help with creativity, and the Story Cubes have been a great addition to the collection.  The Creativity Hub sent [...]

TechnoChurch

iPhone-Church

The church has been obsessed with, if not addicted to the technology of “print.” I know that some people may not view print as a technology, but it was a technology that ultimately changed the way that we communicate with each other, it changed the way that we learn, the way we teach and it ultimately changed the world that we live in and it has never been the same.

Hello… is anyone out there still?

Hello

And we’re back…

It’s been a while since I’ve “Blogged” or added anything to this site, or to the Alternative Hymnal, I’ve needed the space and time away, I’m not sure why, but the time’s been good, I’ve become engaged, my position here in the Riverina has been extended, my fiance has been offered a year in a position at a school locally, I’ve had some time to read and to listen to a lot of music, I’ve been walking regularly and think I’ve got my stuff together enough to be confidant and relaxed with the amount of work ahead of me…

Under Construction

Website Under Construction

I hate it when people put up “under construction” pages… But I’m in the process of moving things around and re-setting up digital orthodoxy with WP3.0 Things will be a little ugly around here until I’ve got everything back in order. This may take a month… After which everything will be back in order and [...]
