Press Release March 10, 2009: Usage of the word "Allah"

-
Great to see this press statement by CCM youth . Good sign for the very near future! ----------- Tuesday, March 10, 2009 Press Release March 10, 2009: Usage of the word "Allah" * Translated Copy of the Bahasa Malaysia Press Release * COUNCIL OF CHURCHES OF MALAYSIA YOUTH STATEMENT OF CCM YOUTH ON THE USAGE OF ‘ALLAH’ MARCH 10, 2009 CCM Youth is disappointed and deeply regrets the Home Ministry’s lack of order and clarity in its handling of the restriction over the usage of “Allah”, which involves the Bahasa Malaysia edition of the R oman Catholic Church's publication The Herald-The Catholic Weekly .

Kelston Boys and Auckland Grammar brawl update

Outrage over the punishments continued yesterday, with MP David Cunliffe calling them "grossly disproportionate" Click here for the rest of the story. Based on the video, I would think the punishments certainly is disproporationate. Kud...

Ramblings ... a time when too many things are happening at once ...

-
A little disorganized this morning as too much seems to be happening at the same time. Not major things but too many little things that are like flies and mosquitoes buzzing around my ears. Very distracting. So ... its time to breathe in and out and do a little re-centering.... and blogging :-) My new modem was waiting for me at my office doorstep (arrived in the mail and I had a wee bit of a problem setting it up. Now ti is obviously up and while the connection is not what it should be, at least I have enough speed to at least open my e-mail properly and can even blog. My phone line still has background static. Headache as I know this means that I may have "cranky internal phone lines" as sometimes connection is good, and at other times it is poor. It is hard to logically troubleshoot and eliminate one problem at the time when I am tired. On Monday I came in to open up the church for the AV guy to check out AV system. Had some kind of blow out a few weeks ago and everything ...
