Hannah and I have discussed this point over and over again, since we've both been through Christian counseling, and it didn't help either of us. Today again I saw a link to a site which waxes lyrical about how counseling should be Biblical and whatnot, and I just got fed up again at Christian counseling, and decided to blog about it.Read more »

Hannah and I came across a blog called "Stuff Christians Like" on a friend's blog roll (list of blogs a person reads), and after reading the first couple of posts, we were hooked.

One post in particular caught my eye: The Sound Guy Neck Crane

As a person who does sound at my church from time to time, you won't believe how often I experience this! I'm glad to see it doesn't only happen in my church!

One of my pet peeves is those OpenOffice.org Impress or Microsoft PowerPoint presentations that folks do in churches. I've seen too many half-hearted efforts in the 28 years I've been in church.Read more »

So, you've been tasked with showing a presentation on mission work in a certain country, and you want to use OpenOffice.org Impress or Microsoft PowerPoint. How do you go about making an effective presentation?

For some reason, most presentations given in church are long, mostly boring, and poorly done. In this article I'd like to highlight a few things that should help make your presentation short, effective, and painless to your audience.Read more »

Hi Folks,

My most humble apologies to all those folks who like to read our blog. We've been a little on the busy side lately, or a little on the lazy side (take your pick) and haven't written anything in ages.

Well, we had a good Christmas, the first as a couple. We decided to stay home and have our own Christmas lunch, which was delicious and nice and relaxing. Actually, we ended up only having lunch at 17:00 because we fell asleep on the bed shortly after getting home from Church!Read more »

On Sunday afternoon I started getting a headache. Nothing too unsual about that... just that they usually aren't simple headaches but proper migraines. For some reason I never just get a simple headache, it always turns into a full blown migraine.

So, knowing this, I thought I'd get a Panado (light painkiller), just to see me through church that evening, and then I'd have some Myprodols (heavy painkiller) when I got home, since Myprodols put me to sleep and I don't wanna fall asleep at my drums.Read more »

On Sunday I heard a very interesting sermon by a local chap by the name of Simon Clegg. He heads up an organisation called the City Partnership, which is an organisation for Christian business men and women. But his sermon wasn't about that. It was about marriage.

On Sunday I heard a very interesting sermon by a local chap by the name of Simon Clegg. He heads up an organisation called the City Partnership, which is an organisation for Christian business men and women. But his sermon wasn't about that. It was about marriage.

But what was really interesting about it was how the whole sermon came out of Genesis 2, and what it contained. We looked at Genesis 2, from about verse 4 to the end. However, the key verses were really from verse 18 and onwards. Read more »
