• Reflections from a new Victorian drivers licence

    NiallAugust 13, 2008

    Well, a couple of days ago my wife and I renewed our Victorian drivers licences. This gave thought and pause for reflection on a number of fronts. Do I mention that my wife was given a 25% discount for three years of exemplery driving with no tickets and fines! I didn’t mention the fact that I most of the driving! But, regardless I am proud of her and the discount!

    Anyway, firstly it gave me pause to think about the past three years. Yeah, not long you might say but that was the last time I renewed my licence, or should I say that was when I changed back from a Queensland licence to a Victorian one - and the three years? Well it was cheaper than the ten years and at that time we were skint from the move back here! But that is besides the point (hey, I do have a tendency to become distracted!) - what gave me pause to think was about the period of three years. (more…)

    From little things big things grow…

    NiallAugust 3, 2008

    I am reading a great book at the moment about the Church and getting back to it’s first love - Jesus, the book is Reimagining Church by Frank Viola.

    I have been wating to join or form an organic church since reading Neil Cole and going through Forge.

    So, I am at a loss as to where to begin besides Prayer - and I ask for you all to keep this in prayer too!

    I will try an update tomorrow.

    How many members of a committee does it take…?

    Sorry for so many posts today - I am having a quiet day and have been reading my News reader and reflecting on where things are going for me and the family. Anyway! This video was on a blog I read by someone employed to help produce media for a church in the US. I laughed so much throughout, relating to the poor designer the whole way through. My past in advertising, marketing and graphic design was so much like this video it is scary!

    You guys wander why many things look as they do… behold and wonder at the creative process! LOL! (more…)
