This is from a while ago. But i haven't been able to blog from my phone for ages. I love how it looks and appreciate that with this amazing little camera phone stuff like this can be kept so easily.

watching wenty

2007-04-14T17:44:00.000+10:00

A bit of a Tooney day today. Helped move my stuff out of the way so that the new person at the House of Bach could have some more room. Then it was just hanging out at the house for while before heading off to football. Sadly it was losses all around for the boys - including a nasty knee dislocation. Not that there is a non nasty knee dislocation.

beautiful day

2007-04-09T11:50:00.000+10:00

Today was beach day. Chris and I headed down a bit earlier to Dee Why before being joined by Aleesha, Kate, Leanne, Rob, Alison and James. A pleasant enough day I got a bit too much sun but enjoyed staring at the ocean.

rehearsal

2007-04-08T16:45:00.000+10:00

I love the panorama function on my phone. It takes such awesome photos - like this one :D I dare you to find where it is stitcher together by just looking at it with the naked eye and without zooming in. These guys are the Creative Arts Team members who played on easter sunday night. They are such a tops bunch of girls and guys - and the best part is that I was not doing anything through rehearsal.

stations of the cross

2007-04-07T13:26:00.000+10:00

Went to SmallBoatBigSea today - with Kate, Kaitryn & Neale. I watched The Passion last night and so today was a nice follow on from that. It was good to spend some time just thinking about what Jesus had done.

Formally

2007-03-29T18:25:00.000+10:00

Scott and Matty A had a plan - a great plan - let's dress for dinner. When they told me I thought it was a tops idea. Myself, Matt Le Clair and Karl were the only other takers. And may I say we looked superb! Her is Scotty and Me looking suave :D

The last night

2007-03-18T18:57:00.000+11:00

Our last commitment was sunday night church. They had a variety night. It was lots of fun. The finale was fire juggling circus folk. A splendid way to finish the trip.

The ever changing view

2007-03-17T17:18:00.000+11:00

It rained Saturday afternoon. This tops reminder of the grace of God caught our attention. Our balcony is very cool i could sit for hours and watch the clouds. There is so much more sky in the country.

Road Trip

2007-03-17T14:59:00.000+11:00

After this morning's men's breakfast we had nothing else scheduled so the right thing to do was to introduce the team to the wonders of Splashe Cola :).

House with a view

2007-03-17T09:14:00.000+11:00

We stayed in a flat above the church. This was the view from our balcony.

Bathurst youth group.

2007-03-16T21:41:00.000+11:00

Friday night was youth group. Played some games. Including corner ball. It was a good night. Finished up very tired but with still enough life for us three guys to stay up and watch the matrix. We have men's breakfast tomorrow morning so i will pay for it then, or as they say in the classics ... 'in the morning i'll regret. Staying up this late i'll bet. But for now it's fine cos i'm with these friends of mine :)

Liz's hot lap

2007-03-15T14:15:00.000+11:00

Shirts off 360

2007-03-13T23:27:00.000+11:00

The tradition for playing the 360 at college is shirts off. The two matty's decided, at 10pm that it was time to see how fast they do Gears of War. As you do. Of course it had to be video'd for posterity.

Footy fun!

2007-03-03T20:39:00.000+11:00

Well, almost. B2 and i headed up to Gosford to meet matty f to watch the eels and easts. At this point it was 16 to 6 easts way. I was smiling to try and hide my pain.

Giving my all

2007-02-08T21:51:00.000+11:00

Steve, b2, jimmy and I head up to Newcastle to watch Sydney FC to the thumping bass of scooter.

Tee hee. I won!

2007-01-27T00:23:00.000+11:00

Tonight was poker at the house of bach. Geoff, chensee, jp and rob came round. This shot is of me winning my second game of the night. I won it on the last card when the second 9 came up. And so I won the night. 2 and a half games to 2 over jimmy who lost his third game on the last card.

ERD

2007-01-16T16:14:00.000+11:00

Working on The Big Database project requires a bit of planning. A white board helps me sketch an Entity Relationship Diagram to work out the relationships I will need.

And then it was time for dinner

2007-01-13T18:37:00.000+11:00

The boys lost big time but i shall drown my soRrows with peter's chinese tucker. The only way to finish a day at tallawong.

2007-01-13T15:33:00.000+11:00

Steve managed to get ~~one~~ two wickets and for that we salute you.

2007-01-13T15:08:00.000+11:00

The boys were getting belted so I played with the funky photo edit stuff on my phone.

Yet more cricket

2007-01-13T14:19:00.000+11:00

Although having better things to do I decided to head over to catch the tooney c grade at play. It was that or sleep ;)

Day One of the rest of my life

2007-01-12T17:37:00.000+11:00

My first day as Student Pastor (Creative Arts Ministry). It was great!

On the boundary 3

2007-01-10T20:30:00.000+11:00

Half time entertainment was the crowd going nuts chucking plastic red balls at one another. It was all fun and games until samer stirred things up ;)

On the boundary 2

2007-01-10T20:13:00.000+11:00

Steve, alex, samer, me, geoff, rollo and tim.

Cricket

2007-01-06T15:06:00.001+11:00

At least changing ends means that there is always something happening.

Top shot that!

2007-01-06T14:34:00.000+11:00

Watching the boys playing cricket. Kate, Prawn, The Ants and I enjoy a Prawn-a-licous lunch.

Lunch in tropical Pymble

2007-01-03T15:26:00.000+11:00

Well it felt a bit tropical as the random rain fell for a few minutes at a time.

Lunch was nice. Finally had a chai drink. Chai latte tea, to be precise. Most delightful.

Dinner is yum!

2007-01-02T18:37:00.000+11:00

Road Trip : putty road to Newcastle

2007-01-01T22:12:00.000+11:00

Prawn and I went for a drive. We stopped at Putty. It had a hall.

See you later Luka

2006-12-31T20:15:00.000+11:00

Luka, one time housemate, student pastor, man of God, brother in Christ. This was his last night at our church. I'll miss his love, i'll miss our talks. But even if I don't see him before I will see him in heaven. Tops sermon to finish on.

Old and new

2006-12-30T18:21:00.000+11:00

Lunch at Bondi today. They were securing the beach for new years eve, so I turned my attention to the buildings around the beach. I grew up in Bondi and it is just as amazing to see what hasn't changed as it is melancholy to see what has.

Bicentennial Park Homebush

2006-12-29T18:57:00.000+11:00

Went for a wander. It wasn't always easy to work out what was natural and what wasn't. I think alot of it is landscaped and planted. But it was a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. [flickr set]

Blacktown sunset

2006-12-28T22:45:00.000+11:00

Steve decided it was time for a new vacuum cleaner. Such excitement. It feels like Christmas now! He also got a steam mop. And, best of all, I had the special honour of getting to be first to use them both . . . wait a minute!

Happy Birthday

2006-12-27T22:58:00.000+11:00

Popped back to Sydney to wish Miss Leanne a very happy Birthday. Oh my. Yet more eating. I will to spend the next week running to work it off. The chocolate fountain was my downfall. But oh so very nice.

Contemplating the big question

2006-12-26T17:22:00.000+11:00

Tea for coffee?
Hazelnut or mango Gelato?
Read or take a nap?

Moruya farmhouse

2006-12-25T19:33:00.001+11:00

I really need to do more driving and less framing =) I am enjoying the open spaces and the beauty.

Looking hot in cold Goulburn ;)

2006-12-25T16:54:00.001+11:00

I stopped revived to survive at the War Memorial Lookout. It was blowing a gale. Wind chill made it feel about 10 degreess. Certainly woke me up. And my little nero corto has been blown all over the road. Well I still have a long way to go. So it's on the road again.

bowling with b and the boys

2006-12-23T20:30:00.001+11:00

Stupid game. B2 got me, dearthy, gorf, chensee, rob and rollo together for a spot of bowling.

Christmas shopping

2006-12-22T14:02:00.001+11:00

First day of holidays and it's off christmas shopping. Westfields was about as busy as a normal Saturday. Once again the family shop was all done in the one place.

My nemesis

2006-12-21T08:45:00.001+11:00

The locker server. The backup hard drive has died again. :(

third star on the right; straight on 'til morning

2006-10-09T11:35:00.000+10:00

And so the adventure begins.

It actually began some time again and another post will be the one that outlines the foundations which were laid to bring me to this point - the point where doing the things I do next begins. Welcome to my supporters - I intend to keep this quite up to date - I am hoping to include some photos of the people and places I go. I am also hoping that there will be long rambling posts related to the things I am learning and a lot of healthy commenting from those who agree and disagree and want to know more and want to make me think.

It will be an exciting time as I travel along this next path that God has lead me down.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
