I’m currently on the Regenerate Youth Spring Camp 2010. Regenerate is a killer youth ministry part of Christ Church Gladesville. Here’s the sweet sweet promo vid:

Where should our mind focus in order to know God most fully and deeply?
We could focus on nature because the heavens are telling the glory of God (Psalm 19:1).

Lots of friends, “friends” from facebook and randoms from google stumble upon my blog each day. If you are considering having an abortion, can I urge you to spend 10 minutes finding out more about Melissa’s story. Please don’t have an abortion.
This normally happens on the 1st day of the month, this month it’s the 2nd. Sorry. It’s crazy crazy essay-fest this long weekend. It’s also the start of daylight savings – bring it, I look forward to Sam waking at 6am instead of 5am! In just over a week the date will be 10.10.10 – that’s pretty cool for the maths lovers; it also makes for a good date for a promotion or launch. Here’s my new Smashing Mag desktop for the month:
