03.14Nine + Nine
Today was Samuel’s 18 month birthday. Nine months in the womb, nine months out of the womb. Here’s a photo of Sam having too much fun while eating dinner:
Another pic below… He’s just done the smackdown on his father (me):
Welcome to an exciting new monthly blog series at dmdc: Pinch + Punch! It may look like a re-branding of a previous lamely named series – but it’s oh so much more! // March isn’t too hectic at college, but I’ve got quite a few speaking opportunities. So hoping I can preach well AND work [...]
02.2340 Days of Water
I just drank my first cup of coffee in 40 days. Yum. I’ve been part of a group of people involved in 40 Days of Water. How did it work? You only drink tap-water for the 40 days. You keep a tally of how much money you saved by eliminating other drinks. You give that [...]
Vous allez nous manquer! Last night we finished at Willoughby Anglican church. It really was a good year! I enjoyed leading a youth group bible study, playing guitar regularly and preaching. The highlight was the warm fellowship and encouragement of many people. We hope we were likewise an encouragement. As well as relationships, we’ll also [...]
DMDC is partnering with Compassion Australia to raise money to provide clean drinking water for an entire community. Here is the original post with the plan of attack. We have now raised $1341. The target is $1541. That means only $200 to go! I’m thankful to God for the generosity of DMDC readers as well [...]
01.25Clovelly needs Jesus
God is doing exciting things through St Luke’s Church Clovelly. Last week we were part of their first Summer Festival. Many kids and families heard the good news of Jesus and the church continues to have a positive impact on the community. We were really encouraged by the great bunch of gospel-minded people living on [...]
This week I’ll be on a Summerfest-style mission in the Eastern Suburbs. My friend, Dave Rogers, began a new gospel community at St Luke’s Anglican Church Clovelly a year ago. I will be leading a team of locals and foreigners (those of us from other churches) aiming to share the good news of Jesus with [...]

We have a new camera, at least it’s new to us. Recently some friends, very generously, gave us their old digital SLR camera. The proviso: we had to take some good snaps of Sam. We’ve probably taken 1000 already! Most aren’t that good, but here’s 3 I like:

Not long after the rocket-clock tick-tocked past midnight to begin 2010, it dawned on me, I turn 30 this year! During 2009, I had moments of anxiety knowing that ‘next year’ I turn 30. ‘Next year’ is now ‘this year’. ‘This year’ is pretty much the end of life as I know it. Some have [...]
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining [...]

It’s been a couple of months since I gave Sam some love on the blog. Sam, one day you will google your name and find this picture. I’m sorry… it was your mum’s idea!!
Merry Christmas from Team Miers. We hope you have a great day rejoicing in Jesus our Saviour-God. Here’s some gear to look [...]
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson weren’t required for the follow up to the 2001 classic comedy, Zoolander. Instead they chose to cast Drew, Mal and me in the sequel. The setting? The streets of Sydney. Here are some candid shots taken during filming:

Okay. Maybe not a Zoolander sequel. But Drew and Mal [...]
I’ve recently been challenged in 2 ways: 1) At EV Church, we have just completed a series on James. In James, real faith is shown in action. 2) At Willoughby Church, over Christmas, we are raising money to buy water wells in Cambodia for $1500.
I figured that $1500 isn’t that much! Over the last couple [...]
As I type, Row is in the room next door in her final class for her Diploma of Biblical Studies. I reported this back in May – but she ended up doing an extra two subjects. This time she’s really finished. Props to Row for finishing! Proud husband.
Props also to Moore College. I think this [...]
The name of this monthly blog post is lame. I’m sorry. Stay tuned for a phenomenal relaunch next month. Warm fuzzy if you can help the creative process (ie – hit me up with suggestions). December is here. We know what that means. All of the cicadas are currently at my window singing an ode [...]

We’ve got a new niece!! Very exciting. Here’s the breaking tweet. Here’s another pic:
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

when I was made in [...]
It’s exam time. Last year I wrote a stack of posts as part of my prep. This year, I’m not sure if you’ll see any blog posts (other than this one) or not! However, yesterday I tried a little experiment on twitter. Here’s where it started: Yo #MTC Moore college peeps. Tweet what ur studying [...]
