Near Inglewood

It’s been over a week since Mehrin and I went up to Bendigo, but I didn’t get to blog about it, because last week was so silly.
Mehrin and I caught the train up on Saturday afternoon. When we got to the station Ali and Di asked us if we wanted to go on an adventure. [...]

Good Friday at CSBC

Used my Gethsemane animations at CSBC last night. Len did a short sermon about difficult decisions – decisions that make you sweat. Decisions where you have to choose between hurting someone else or absorbing pain within yourself, as Christ chose at Gethsemane (Luke 22).

His sweat was like great drops of blood…

Marcus has just sent me a picture from Bendigo of him going to great lengths setting up my Easter animation:

Manna is this white stuff that somehow forms on the leaves of some eucalypts (I think it has something to do with a kind of insect), which you can eat. It tastes sweet.

Kids4Life, Seeds City retreat and Seeds Consecration

Tomorrow morning (Thursday) I’m going up to Bendigo to visit Trav and Cara at the Scripture Union mission there, Kids4Life. When I get back to Melbourne we’re driving out to Johanna (past Apollo Bay) for a Seeds City mob retreat. And on Sunday we have the Seeds Consecration Service in Norlane.
So I won’t be blogging [...]

Just gotten back from running ‘Advent Conspiracy’ in Long Gully, Bendigo. Mehrin, Marcus, Naomi and I packed everything into the van, drove it up there, and then Dave, Kylie and Ali helped us set up.
Here’s pics and video:
