Sunset at Ceduna

I created my new title banner from a photo I took of the sunset in Ceduna last September. I was there on my way across Australia as one of around 30 Bike for Bibles cyclists travelling from Perth, WA to Hobart Tasmania.

We had a very welcome Sunday rest day in Ceduna. It’s a marvellous place to stay, especially when you’ve just pedalled across the Nullarbor.

We’d come a long way but still had around 2500 km still to pedal before reaching Hobart.

New Improved Blog – Now with Pictures

I’m still playing around with hosting my blog away from blogspot. It allows me to post pics.

I’ll see how things go and if it works I’ll stay here. Blogspot doesn’t seem to automatically redirect the page to the new site so I’ve done it myself. You are now at www.arach.net.au/~rpej.olsen/blog.html

I’ll try to organise a shorter URL that will direct to that site so don’t change your bookmarks and blogrolls just yet.

I'm starting to get concerned about the company my kids are keeping.

He’s large, he’s green and his best friend is a donkey. I think my kids are starting to hang around with the wrong crowd.

What is God Asking You About?

After recently re-reading parts of Genesis I am struck by the way God wanders into the garden and asks Adam what he’s been up to when he already knows full well.

The same thing happens when God asks Cain about his brother. Of course God already knows that Abel has been murdered but God gives Cain the opportunity to explain himself. Cain tries to wriggle out of the situation asking if he is his brother’s keeper etc but we know that God is never going to go for that.

I wonder if things would have been different if Adam and then Cain had fallen on their knees and confessed rather than trying to shift the blame or change the subject.

How many times do we use Adam or Cain style tactics when God is giving us opprtunity to make things right betweeen us?

This Should be Interesting

I can’t stand the TV show Big Brother. I refuse to watch it, not just based on the kind of thing the contestants get up to, but on the way that the producers manipulate and destroy lives for the sake of ratings.

However, if I was in Italy I would be tempted to check out a few minutes of their upcoming Big Brother. The Vatican is not impressed and it may be a foolish decision but it’ll be interesting to see what happens.
