here… (beware of PG material… and don't go here or here)

Busy times.  Currently finishing J-Walk (it will be a must read/listen issue), a wedding sermon for Saturday, and a Philippians sermon for Sunday night.  Listened/watched this sermon yesterday by Mark Driscoll.  He spoke about how IDOLATRY and RELIGION are the biggest enemies of the gospel.  IDOLATRY: for the non-Christian.  RELIGION: for the "Christian".  Good stuff.

Just finished meeting with Rhett and I’m now doing some work at a nice cafe in Wamberal (with free internet) and have just noticed some Central Coast Mariners arrive.

5 warm fuzzies for the name of player 1 (closest)
5 warm fuzzies for the name of player 2
5 warm fuzzies for the name of the Wamberal cafe

15 warm fuzzies up for grabs.
No more than 5 warm fuzzies per person.

Check out the latest episode of On the Poddy. Good times with Dan and Lachlan Soper in Lachlan’s plunge pool on Saturday. We recorded an hour long Podcast last night that will be launched this Friday night as part of j-walk issue 4. Stay tuned. It’s a great podcast and j-walk issue. We’ve dropped to 89 in iTunes… so go and download some episodes in there!

Dan is my homeboy – some may think he once blogged… but it looks like he really is now… we’ll see… Go check out his blog. Some good reflections on music and church. He seems to have some purpose and direction to his blog. Keep it going Dan!

What do you think of his header? I took it and made it for him… on my phone!

These homeboys are live-blogging the new attitude conference

MySpace. MySpace is ugly (you’d know that if you’d seen my MySpace). I think it’s PostModern ugliness at its best! But I’m happy to have a page (particularly for youth group) cos there are lots of teenagers hanging out there.

Facebook. Facebook isn’t ugly. It’s sleek. It’s clean. It’s smarterer than MySpace. My guess is that at the moment MySpace is getting 15-23y/o and Facebook is a bit older (23+). I know of youth groups in the US that have a page… but I’m not sure if (m)any of our youth group dudes are on there.

Are you Christian? Don’t get addicted to these things… rather use them to point people to JESUS.

…are the two latest posts from Dan.  He wants his blog to be a tool to help our nite church music team think through music ministry.  If you're not from CCEC – I'm sure it will be of a help to you too (that's if he posts more than once every 2.5 months!)
