ANZAC day today

ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia’s most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. 20 celexa mg ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.

Thank You ANZAC’s

On Speed Reading…

So I have a series of jokes on this blog (click the jokes link at the top left of this site). I got to thinking that I should have a book review series as well (prompted by kidology.org 1cheap generic cialis target=”_blank” href=”http://www.kidology.org/network/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2337″>forum)

I have read a number of books on speed reading… in fact I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed reading accident. I hit a book mark and flew across the room – HA!

But seriously, I have so many books in my house that I haven’t read, I decided to just get on with and read ‘em all. So as a little way of keeping track of my reading I will post some mini reviews every time I finish a book. They probably won’t really be reviews, but highlights and insights from each book, and most likely short.

So… coming up, book reivew #1

Just finished conference

Just finished our annual womens conference at church. It was the best yet.

We had three consecutive conferences just to fit all the women in. There is nothing like getting thousands of women together to  one place to guarantee 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide long lines for the ladies room :-)

The Podcast has started!

Hey, check out the Podcast site here

The first episode is online! But I warn you, it is merely a test and not even remotely professional.

I will be putting it on iTunes in the next couple of weeks!

Check it out.

It’s the Mark — again!

Well, I haven’t heard much about the mark of the beast for a number of years. After a number of commentators completely mucked up the millenium bug in 2000 (There was no worldwide meltdown in finance), it seemed like they have been lying low.

Now I grew up hearing messages about the end times. The eighties were a particulary fertile time for all things conspiracy… remember rock music is from the Devil! (Hells Bells etc.)

From Wired News…
…Albrecht and co-author Liz McIntyre have written an introduction that says 100 clomid mg that RFID chips, particularly the VeriChip subcutaneous implant designed for humans, bear an uncanny resemblance to “the mark” described in the Bible’s Book of Revelation.

Maybe this is it!

Only time will tell.

Hidden DVD Bonus

Well, I just remembered something that I need to let everyone about. I was waiting for the US, South America release of Super Strong God on the 28th of Feb… but with the new baby and all that I completely forgot!

In the DVD there are short ‘segments’ between all the songs featuring a bible verse and intro to the song. In the background of each of these segments there is a big ol’ screen with the verse on it. As a little bonus I got the authoring team to put the images of those screens on the DVD.
If you put the DVD of “Super Strong God” in your computer DVD player and explore the contents of the disk you should be able to see the images right there on the disk.

NOTE: You will need a computer with a DVD-ROM drive to view these files.

Mac users: You should be able to see these images by clicking on them right away.

PC users: You may need image editing software to use these files (Photoshop etc), very sorry.

You can use these images in your ministry to teach kids the bible verses… or as your computer wallpaper to learn the verses yourself… or whatever your mind can dream up for them.

Enjoy!

P.S. Please let me know if this doesn’t work for you, as I personally have a DVD authored here in Australia and not in the US, England etc.
P.P.S. If you are REALLY annoyed that your PC won’t let you view these files… buy a Mac :)

Nathan’s Wedding

Well… my blogging buddy and fellow Hillsong Children’s Pastor Nathan McLean got married yesterday in The Blue Mountains‘.

Nathan and Jess

You can read about their engagement here.


Dave and Beci

Myself and a VERY pregnant Beci.

Now Nathan is not the most ‘prolific’ blogger… in fact I have known pieces of belly button lint post more that him… but he is a top bloke, and had a very beautiful wedding! It was an honour being one of the grooms men!

So Nathan… have a great honeymoon and we will see you soon!

Maybe now he is married he will have more to say on this blog :)

**Dove Award Nomination!

Very excited today!

Unexpectedly “Jesus is my Superhero” has been nominated for Children’s Music Album of the Year at the GMA Awards in April this year! The nominations came out this morning and our first ever kids album is in the running for the equivalent of the Grammys in the Christian world.
This is a big deal – it is the only Hillsong Music album nominated this year!

There are six albums in the running, and Superhero is the only one produced by a local church, not a record label.

Anyway, definately a surprise, and I may just have to be in Nashville in April for the ceremony :)

Sad Loss

Eddie Yang, pastor of Hillsong Parramatta Chinese Outreach Service, was swept into the sea by a big wave while fishing on January 2nd 2005.

Wow. Life is short.

You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Our prayers go out to Eddie’s family.

Wow, it just passed me by. The blog turned ONE on the 13th of November. I made the first post exactly a year ago. In fact I made only two posts for the whole of the month… things have picked up a bit.

  • 155 Entries, not including this one – a post every 2.4 Days.
  • Not bad…

    Ah well, so much for the party, I think I will save myself the washing up and head to bed.

    Good Night.

    Welcome Nathan!

    So make him feel welcome, he will make his first post very soon…

    I don’t have a picture of Nathan yet… but that’s probably for the best. :)
