Here is where we left off last year. Thanks to those who have asked for points and encouraged me to do this again. I value your partnership in Jesus.

>Thank God for term 1 of ccecyouth. Great term in juniors and seniors.
>Pray for our youth camp coming up in the holidays.
>Pray for my sister that she would have a healthy baby boy.
>Pray for Al Stewart in his new job. (If I were an anglican I’d vote for him to be the next ab!)

Have a good weekend. Check out our latest J-Walk & let me know what you think… How good is the cover!! Good job Nicole. (Make sure you check out the centre fold article… very good!!)

My bro has put up 5 of his fav shots from London. This is my favourite. Go check the rest out here (leave him comments so he feels special).

Marty has just posted the 4th in a blog series entitled Digital Humanity.

#1, #2, #3 and #4 (my guess is the serious isn't over yet)

Interesting stuff.  Go check it out.

Here (h/t Jodie).  What do you think?

Aaron has some good reflections here.

Check out this site (h/t Relevant TV). Basically they are selling advertising space on their car & t-shirts to sponsor their trip across the USA. Clever… if it works!

I’ve often thought it wouldn’t be too hard to make some money on the internet. Remember the red paper-clip guy!! Have you got any ideas on how to make money on the internet (not necessarily in the same category as YouTube, Google, Facebook, MySpace et al.)

JTV had a Hack report on Hillsong's Colour Conference.  Click here.  The conference seems to be all about empowering women… and doesn't seem to be about Jesus.  The ex-member that they interviewed doesn't really nail it with her critique.  And the angle that Steve Cannane takes in the report is more of a feminist agenda… There are some classic Bobbie quotes though!  What do you think?

Competition:
1) In which unisex shop are we trying the glasses on?
2) I’m not an emo – why are my toenails black?
3) On which major road is the sky picture taken?
4) What car is Row standing in front of?

$1 to the first correct answer for each question.

Click here… by the way I went to Starbucks twice last week!

Here is a link to a couple of sites with some tips on power napping.  I like power napping.  15 minutes feels like a few hours.  I probably only do them once or twice every couple of weeks.  But would love to do them more… I do think that they increase productivity.  Do you remember on Seinfeld when Kramer stopped going to bed at night and just had a power nap every 3 hours??  Funny kid…

Do you power nap?  What are your tips?

Listen to our 1st birthday episode of On the Poddy. Listen all the way to the end for a long and passionate song… good times! And make sure you help us to #1 in iTunes!!!

I saw this link from Challies this morning. There’s a bucket load of documentaries. While doing some admin this morning I’ve had this Jeff Buckley one on in the background. Very good.

(h/t Josh) This is classic! Matt McGill is one of the guys on the Simply Youth Ministry podcast. I’d love to do a series like this with ccecyouth. Who’s in??

Greg Clarke & Jodie McNeill are speaking. Rego form here… Info here…

I’m thinking about going… are you keen?
(If you’ve already got ministry to Gen Y nailed – I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!)

Last night we travelled into the big smoke for the Moore College Graduation. The talk was a cracker and it was super encouraging hearing what each of the grads are now up to as they preach Jesus in Sydney and beyond. It was fun to catch up with friends & family. I don’t go into the city often… so took some pics to document our excursion. Congratulations to my brother-in-law Martin.

Did you go? Did you enjoy the song the pipe organist played at the end?!?!
