Here is the Australian Football team training squad ahead of our game against Kuwait on August 16. Sydney are clearly the best team in the competition – and they’ve got 8 players in the squad. This is appropriate. Central Coast have proven themselves to be the 2nd best team in the competition yet they only had one call up! (I’m sure that Beauchamp and Heff would have been called if they were still in Australia). Melbourne who are cellar dwellers have 4 players. Newcastle aren’t much better and they also have 4 players! The one thing that it may show is that Central Coast is a champion TEAM rather than a team of CHAMPIONS???
Nice to book you…
This is a get-to-know-you thing. Chris sent it to me and part of the deal is to pass this on to someone else (like a chain letter, but without the death threats or rewards). So DANIEL G, CRAIG S, ADAM S, ANDY M and any others who wish to do this… take it away…
1. One book that changed your life:
‘Romans’ by Paul the Apostle

Be Careful
I spoke on the Beecroft Uniting Church young adults retreat over the weekend. The weather at Copacabana was warm, the fellowship was even warmer and it was marvellous to reflect upon the theme: RESURRECTION.
The place that we stayed had some bizarre signs. This was my favourite!
Is anyone reading this? Give me a comment if you are!
