I disagree with both major political parties regarding refugees and asylum seekers. Many Australians probably selfishly agree. Here is a short animation from GetUp Australia attempting to discard with popular myths surrounding asylum seekers. What do you think? What would you do?
07.31You Hold Me Now
I heard this song a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been humming it ever since! It’s a beautiful picture of a loving God that has promised there is a day coming when crap will be gone. Those who belong to Jesus can look forward to an eternity without weeping, hurt, pain, suffering, darkness, sickness. [...]
Check out this song from Regina Spektor. Interesting reflections on God and suffering. Do you think she’s right?
Ragamuffinsoul.com is one of my favourite blogs and Carlos Whittaker is one of my favourite bloggers. Recently he posted a short vid he filmed in the car.

OK Go took YouTube by storm in 2006 with that treadmill film clip receiving over 50million views. They’ve just realeased a new vid that might get even more! It’s brilliant. Check it: The original film clip they made of this song is pretty good too.

Here’s an encouraging Jesus’ Story from Kurtis. Here’s a quote “I still had questions, I didn’t know all the answers, I still had doubts. But I think ultimately I knew what happened at the cross: that Jesus lived a perfect life, that he died for me, and that he rose again, and he was God. [...]
1992 was a big year for Billy Ray Cyrus. Miley Cyrus, his (now more famous) daughter, was born. But more importantly, he released one of the greatest songs of the 1990s: Achy Breaky Heart. I was shocked today to talk to some younger folk who hadn’t heard of Billy Ray, and only vaguely knew of [...]
01.02Avatar is FernGully
Last night, Row and I went to the movies for the first time since Samuel was born. It was good fun. We got to wear these crazy 3D glasses while watching Avatar. I really enjoyed it, visually quite spectacular. As we left the cinema Row’s assessment was that it was just a more sexied up [...]
Carlos Whittaker is one of my favourite bloggers/tweeters. He’s got an album coming out soon. God of Second Chances is one of his forthcoming songs. This vid shows a homeless dude, Danny, come and sing with him as he starts playing it. Kinda cool. Read the commentary on his blog post…

09.24Filfthy Roman Sponge
I watched Mark Driscoll’s first sermon in the new Mars Hill 3 year series on Luke’s Gospel. Driscoll basically set the context from Luke 1:1-4 for the book of Luke and the rest of the series to come. The final 5 minutes of the sermon were particularly moving: “It is finished” EDIT: My friend, Marty, [...]

Watch the video below. Shout out to Joel C for pointing out this snippet from a current beer* commercial. I think it’s about Dave Meyers the film director… but I’ll claim it! *yo christian – if you’re under 18 don’t drink beer. if you’re 18+ be wise with ya wine.
