		<description><![CDATA[So often we come to a place of worship and we do all the talking. How many times have we prayed and been the only one to say anything? Time and time again through my spiritual walk with God I have heard people talk about how prayer is a two way thing. Where us talking to God is important, it is just as important that we spend time to listen to what God has to say. The same applies for worship. There is huge importance in singing our praises, bowing our heads in reverence of His glory and awe, and giving our hearts to Him time and time again in worship. But how often are we giving God the chance to speak in our worship? There has also on occassion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: I apologised that this has taken so long to upload &#8211; but when youre without Internet it makes it difficult. A late summers day. A decision was to be made. A life changing event to be planned, organized and carried out in a few months time. I had always wanted an outdoor wedding. But with the combination of friends weddings, engagements and school holidays all having their part to play, the outdoor wedding would be situated in the heights of winter in the centre of Wellingtons infamous southerly. Yet it had to be. The Ring had been a dropped hint from a website link I found in my Inbox. As soon as I had made the decision in my own mind, I went online to order. I watched as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was challenged tonight by a statement. Are we living what we believe? Because what we believe should ultimately shape and determine how we live. Let me illustrate for you with a couple of hypothetical examples. If Gretchen believed that the sky was purple, that would ultimately change the way she lived. When the weather man says &#8220;Blue skies are forecast for tomorrow&#8221;, it would hold a very different meaning than it does for us. If her teacher asked her to paint a landscape with the trees, hills and birds in the sky, Gretchen will live out her belief in her painting in a different way to the rest of us. Or take Billy for example. Now Billy believes that water is toxic. So toxic, that if he touches he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the heart of the gospel is a continuing message of Love. Mark 12:29-31 says this: &#8220;The most important one,&#8221; answered Jesus, &#8220;is this: &#8216;Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.&#8217; The second is this: &#8216;Love your neighbor as yourself.&#8217; There is no commandment greater than these.&#8221; Jesus calls us to firstly, love God. And secondly love each other. He gives us guidelines for how to love each other as well. In this verse he says we should love others as we love ourselves. I believe that Jesus here is making a big statement on the human condition. First and foremost, he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was early morning. I&#8217;d just gotten up and was pleased to see the rarified sun streaming in through my window. I got up, dressed and ready for work. I journeyed over the Wainui hill to where I work. As is usual for brisk winter mornings, Wainui was dowsed in fog. Yet only moments before the sun was providing much needed edge removal of the cold air. It then occurred to me as I watched people on the street, walking to the bus, school or work, wrapped up warm and trudging through the fog, that they were blissfully unaware that just over the hill was a world bathed in sunshine. Its a bit like God&#8217;s love. We can get caught up in all the things that get us down. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I was challenged by Rob Bell&#8217;s &#8216;Tomato&#8217; DVD from his Nooma series. Why are we so obsessed with being right? Why do we have this mentality of doing things that will suit us, and let others fall by the wayside? This constant struggle to create our own identity rather than being concerned about others. The self glory of it all became a revelation. When I think of &#8220;Glory&#8221;, I think of honour being bestowed upon someone else. For their achievements and for their efforts. God has the perfect example of what Glory is. He gave his only Son, condemmed to die for all of our sins. It was not for Him that He did this, but instead, for us; sinners. And through this, we can give Him Glory. Why [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What are your expectations of worship? Often we walk through church doors expecting the music to be spot on, the lights humming, the people fully engaged and the atmosphere electric. But how does it get to be like that? Do we need the lights, the music and the atmosphere to live up to our own expectations for God to show up? Our expectations of what church worship needs to be is largely based on the false precedent set by the likes of Planetshaker and Hillsong DVD&#8217;s that have infiltrated western churches. They are advertising church worship to be a glorified concert, and setting an expectation that this is the only way corporate worship can be. I am not saying that God does not show up and minister to His people at those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being proud is when you achieve something that you didn&#8217;t think you could do. Being proud is when you see your son taking his first steps. Being proud is when you see him scoring his first goal. Being proud is when you see him being honest to you, even when he&#8217;s in big trouble. Being proud is when you hear him make a lifetime commitment to Christ. Being proud is when you see him leaving on his first date. Being proud is when you see him drive his new car up the driveway. Being proud is when you see him fix his car himself for the first time. Being proud is when you find out he&#8217;s engaged. Being proud is when you hear him make his vows earnestly to his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gordon, our adopted cat, is not much for human contact. When we first met, she wriggled herself into a frenzy to avoid human contact. The only way you can hold her is upside down on her back, much like rock-a-by baby. She will only sleep on top of your bed covers ad certainly never higher up than you knees. Once, she came and curled up in my lap on my bed. Tonight, she came and snuggled up in my arm/chest, because I had my knees up, lying on my back. It was a moment of comfort, that I knew she was uncomfortable about. This shot was as good as I could get without disturbing her.]]></description>
