Bec Little leading worship - nice touch with a special song and  lesson for the younger ones

With us older ones too joining in ... learning the actions

And singing along. ...

George Booth - ex OM NZ director and a regular speaker at our church

Jin Wan's commissioning service (as a deacon)

Did a quick turnover cum weeding of my planter box in preparation for
new planting season. No matter what I do, some potato plants will still pop up from a
couple of potatoes I planted 2 years ago. Hardy plants so thought I might as well replant them.
And my taro plants. Looking forward to harvesting the leaves all year round :-)

One of my winter quick soups ... with chilly, tofu and mushrooms among other things.


Another of my favourite quick soups for winter - tomato, egg and herbs

    They're cool, Isn't it bad to leave your numberplate on the car in photos uploaded to the internet, or did I just make myself look stupid?

Forgiving the Church (Henri Nouwen)

-
Had to post this up! Another gem from Henri Nouwen that is so relevant for today! I have highlighted in red what especially resonates with me as it has bothered me for years that there is a fast growing number of Christians who think they can have Christ without the church. Then back to work. I have finalized my magic routine fro this Sunday - now just need to practice and coordinate with "the Weeman" so our acts flow smoothly from one to the other. Forgiving the Church When we have been wounded by the Church, our temptation is to reject it. But when we reject the Church it becomes very hard for us to keep in touch with the living Christ. When we say, "I love Jesus, but I hate the Church," we end up losing not only the Church but Jesus too. The challenge is to forgive the Church. This challenge is especially great because the Church seldom asks us for forgiveness, at least not officially. But the Church as an often fallible human organization needs our forgiven...

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 .

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 ...
