God is a DJ
I imagine this may have already been discussed by the likes of Johnny Baker and others but I have been a bit of a fan of Faithless since I saw them once in concert. We scored a copy their album with this song on it and while I have added it to my rotation in my iPod, my wife is not too keen on it. But this particular song, God is a DJ has intrigued me since then. So, I have often thought about it’s meaning. Before I go any further, here’s the video.

No Comments »Missio Dei Breviary
One of the guys I admire and have been following on the net, is a fellow by the name of Mark Van Steenwyk, who founded Missio Dei, an Anabaptist new monastic missional community in Minneapolis. I admire Mark for the work he is doing and for the way he rallies others who share the same or similar vision to join together to dialogue with The Jesus Manifesto and Christiarchy.But it is the Breviary that Missio Dei recently published that I am going to write about in the coming weeks as I start to utilise the breviary for morning and afternoon prayers. My plan is to start tomorrow morning, and try establish a rhythm of spending time with God in the mornings and afternoons with the aid of the breviary. Why did they create the breviary? (more…)

No Comments »Aligning my body with the Planet
Further to my post about my affect on the Planet, I happened upon a fellow called Jon Gabriel.Now before I go any further, let me share that yes I am have tried many, many diets in my life time and the only success I could boast would have been the time with Weight Watchers… but costs and a move interstate put that to rest amidst the stress of moving etc. So yes, I am overweight and yes, I have tried many diets and in fact would consider myself skeptical of anything that promotes weight loss - even the tv reality show - the one I won’t mention but you know what I mean.

AVAAZ.org - a group that I am part of is working on a campaign to educate and encourage the Australian Government to join the countries banning the cluster bombs and cancel the order the Aussie Government has for these weapons. Avaaz are inviting folk to enter their details which then becomes a personalised message for Kevin Rudd about the negotiations.
I urge all Aussies and those elsewhere to join with Avaaz in shouting out about this matter. So far 55,911 have sent messages. Help us get to 75,000!

A good mate of mine from a group I used to hang with in Brisbane, called the Roaring Lambs, just sent me this short story in an email. While a little simple and maybe sentimental - I liked the message more than the story. Thanks Kev! Wish I could be there with you guys!A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said, ‘Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.’
Very quietly, the doctor said, ‘I don’t know.’
‘You don’t know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?’
