Missing in Action

Yes I know – I’ve been missing in action for a while. Apologies.

I have a fault on my telephone line at home (which Telstra says is absolutely fine) and it is preventing me from maintaining an internet connection for more than a few minutes.

I’m told that even thought their testing shows that the line is OK, they will send someone around within a couple of days. When they do I will ask them to pick up the phone and try to hear anyone talking to them above the extremely loud crackling.

This short explanation is being blogged from work. Obviously I don’t want to make a habit of blogging at work so I hope to get things back to normal very soon.

In the meantime, feel free to use the comments area to create your own content for the-journey.

Why Don't We Do This More Often?

We had David and his family over for a BBQ and swim last night.

We love spending time with his tribe and there’s always so much to catch up about. Time seems to rush by between visits and it’s usually months between get togethers. Why do we get so caught up in the day to day that we miss spending time with friends?

We seem to swap ‘the stuff of life’ with the endless struggle to exist. Relationships are so very important and yet we often let trivialities get in the way of maintaining them.

Thankfully we’ll be catching up again in a couple of weeks.

Let's Get Naked

Hamo has a wonderful sermon illustration on his blog. It compares how we might feel about heading off to a nudist colony and how unchurched people might feel coming along to one of our church services. Well worth a read.

A Saturday Friday Five

Today it’s a Saturday kind of Friday Five.

When was the last time you…

1. …went to the doctor?

Thursday. I have had lower back pain all week. I’m not a regular at the surgery. The doctor was quite surprised to see me.

2. …went to the dentist?

That would be in around June or July last year. My mouth could keep the dentist employed for quite some time but I’ll have to wait until I have some money (ha ha ha) before I get a bunch of work done.

3. …filled your gas tank?

This morning. I don’t usually fill it because I’m normally on my bike and Pauline has the car.

4. …got enough sleep?

Mmm. Enough sleep. Great concept. I can’t say that I even remember the last time I got enough sleep.

5. …backed up your computer?

That would be a couple of months ago. After my computer fun this last week I promise to do it more often. I didn’t lose any data but it was a reminder as to just how fickle these machine which run our lives can be.

Aren't Computers Wonderful?

A quick blog from work. My home computer died a thousand deaths. I should have it up and running in the next day or so but until then – nothing. I hope you’ll miss me.
