This is our biggest issue of J-walk ever! It’s my last one as editor. To be honest… I didn’t do much editing at all. I wrote the editorial. So… it’s my last editorial. Alex Hartley has now begun editing j-walk. This is good… I’m excited about some of the plans for the magazine next year.

Did you see THE game? Best ever? Relive the highlights below.
Missed it? Watch video 2 & 3 below… or video 1 for just the goals.
Central Coast Mariners V Sydney FC – Goals – 22dec07

I think that Brosque was offside when Vukovic was deemed to handle the ball outside the penalty area, so shouldn’t have been given a red card. Also I think that both keepers made errors that lead to goals. Had both teams had their first choice keepers on the field, the score would have been lower.
But no complaints from this A-League fan!
Central Coast Mariners 4 Sydney FC 5
What a game!! Good times with some family 2nite at the footy. Record crowd (17,500+). Probably record score. 2 red cards. Mariners 2-0, Sydney 2-2, Mariners 3-2, Sydney 4-3, Mariners 4-4, Sydney 5-4. The referee was pretty bad. But super entertaining match on beautiful Central Coast Summer’s night.
(I can’t link to any match reports because smh, a-league and sbs are all too slow!!)
Ahh… wait… here’s the scorecard…
Jack Miller on Prayer & Preaching
“Basically I am convinced that men who do not make praying their first priority in life and ministry should not preach or pastor. As preachers they will be confusing models of a Christian man, and as shepherds they will not show willingness to die for the sheep…As we seek faith and pray together, the power will be in the preaching, and other matters such as style will begin to take their own course.” (h/t The Buzz Man)
Free youth ministry resources
Schmoyer smashes it with a years worth of freebies. Had a quick scan down the list – there could be some helpful stuff there.
Osama Lovely, Eichmann Banal
Chris Mayes has been churning out the blog posts this month. He’s got a new name for his blog: A Disorder of Things; a new header: above; and been writing some good stuff. He’s in the middle of a top 10 albums of 2007 and I found his latest post on Hicks and bin Laden particularly insightful. Here’s a snippet:
Well, I think like the banality of Eichmann, the loveliness of bin Laden is hard for people to take because we think evil people need to thoroughly evil with no redeeming features. They need to hold all the negative character traits including tobacco smoking (Russians, Arabs and bad guys) and poor dental hygiene.
