Semi-Final this Saturday
This is a tribute to Roger “I scored a goal from half-way” Guest and also an invitation to come and watch our soccer team this Saturday at 3pm Fagan’s Park West Gosford. We came second so will be playing the top team. If we win we go straight into the Grand Final.
Feel free to offer any advice for our team in the comments…
Me Church

If church was all about you (btw IT ISN’T!!!) what’s one thing that it would have?

Surprise party, RICE & Mariners
Saturday was an eventful day. I went to a surprise engagement party at 7am in the morning. The surpise was that the proposal only happened at 6:30am that morning!! Lots of fun. Good food with some good friends. Congrats Marty and Kartina!
Late morning I went to visit my sister and her husband in Newtown. That was nice and then I took my brother-in-law to RICE. (That rhymed!) He was involved in the walk-up evangelism team. RICE looks really good. I went in for about half an hour to check it out. Richard Beeston was playing some music, activities were happening all over the place and Pete Tong gave a great talk (1 of 3 during the day). The way it worked was that they had a big carnival/fete type of thing at homebush with over 1000 youth and then they will have a rally next Saturday night at Town Hall with Ray Galea speaking. It was good to get some ideas for what we could do with coast youth REVOLUTION in the future.
I raced home for a 3pm soccer match. We had to win to stay in the top 4 and won 7-0 to jump up into second! After that I went to watch the Mariners with my dad (after 1-1 they lost 5-4 on penalties… they deserved to win… but couldn’t score during normal time). Enjoyed some Pizza after that and fell asleep while pretending to watch 8 Mile!
Row was away for the weekend… glad she made it home alive.
How was your Saturday?
New Website
I made a new website today. It’s for coast youth REVOLUTION. Go and check it out WWW.CYREVOLUTION.COM
For the blogheads: the interface with wordpress is slower than blogger, but if I had broadband maybe it wouldn’t be a problem!
Had a look yet? What do you think?
Making the most of sport
More2life is the basketball team that I put together 2.5 seasons ago. At the time I was weighing up whether to bring my own team of Christian friends together or go down to the stadium and ask to be put into a team of strangers. Within a day of simply mentioning it to a couple of people at church… we had a team!! I work for a church and although I have contact with non-Christians, they are usually contacts from other people at church rather than friends of my own.
I am going to quit the team at the end of the season!!! Next season I will either go into a team that needs players at the stadium or change to a better sport… indoor soccer with a bunch of strangers.
I’d been thinking about it for a while and a conversation with Dave Sheath a couple of days ago pushed me over the line. He’s a minister and plays in a basketball team and uses it as an opportunity for fitness and building friendships with non-Christians.
What do you think of my decision? Good, bad or ugly?

Titus 3
Just got back from a conference. It was pure gold. Great to reflect on the mission of planting more churches around Australia.
4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:4-7 (ESV)
