• What do to with the domain iChurch.com.au?

    NiallJune 19, 2008

    I own the domain name ichurch.com.au - bought a couple of years ago as an idea for an online “church” utilising social media software that was not quite ready at that time. So, it has been dormant for the last couple of years. At one time I did ask a few of the guys at Forge around Australia if they thought the domain could go for an online magazine for Australian missional emerging churches. But, that was not too well recieved as it was though that there was already a few of those around (US and O/S one sure but where was the Aussie voices?).

    So, now I ask you all, the few that read this blog and the many that stumble across these pages, what could this domain be used for? What ideas do you have? What can we do together to utilise the domain for the Kingdom here in Australia?

    This is an open call for ideas, suggestions and yes, I am also seeing who would be interested in collaborating!

    Me & the Future of the Planet

    NiallMay 22, 2008

    I am sure that you can’t tell from reading anything I have written so far that I am considered over-weight. Yeah, if you have met me in person, you will know but for those reading here - medically speaking I am considered obese. This is hard to admit publicly but in reality it is obvious when you see me. I don’t “feel” obese, in fact I have generally prided myself on my ability to pretty much be like the next guy activity wise (ok I may wheeze and pant a bit) but I have tried to live I guess you would say, in denial, but I would argue that I was aware of it but chose to try overcome the stereotype overweight kid.

    You would also notice that I am very Kingdom focused, including eco-consciousness and focused on living the whole of my life for the Kingdom. So, yes, while my family have been trying to save water, cut fuel usage, eat healthily and shop locally, it as quite a wake-up call to read this article that Brian at Curious in Ibiza linked to in his post about obesity, with some lively comments and discussion on obesity and flying, the poor etc.
