STRANGEST WAYS

You've got the strangest ways, ... how can I understand you?

  1. Man say take it, take it, take it, you say give it away.
    Woman say hold it, hold it, hold it, you say let it go.

    You say living starts with dying,
    you say happiness starts with crying, you say rich is poor, and poor is rich, and I never heard you lying.

  2. Man say bigger, he want bigger,
    you come ever so small.
    Woman say stronger, she want stronger, you come ever so weak.
    They were looking for a strong man,
    a hero with a strong hand,
    you came with peace, you came with love, they thought you were the wrong man.

  3. When man say failure, I'm a failure, you say that's my boy.
    When woman say loser, I'm a loser, you say that's my girl.

    You say don't be scared to stumble, you might meet me when you tumble. You say first is last, and last is first, the way with me is humble.

‘God. Version 1.0’ is entirely different to the one we expect to encounter. Reflection on the life of Jesus continually challenges most of what we commonly regard as ‘common’ sense.

 

ALWS 5/10/23

To say I've been inactive on my website is a serious understatement! I've written nothing here since early 2021. 

So, does this mean the world has stopped for us, that nothing is happening?
A major event for us in 2022 was moving house in October. We had been in Modbury Heights since July 1993.Now we're back in Klemzig.

In May we travelled to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, seeing work supported by Australian Lutheran World Service. Dorothy and I are Ambassadors for the ALWS programme, Lives You Touch. We are encouraging people to leave money in their will for the work of ALWS. We committed to leave a third of our will many years ago and hope many others can touch lives in this way.
Since then we have visited Box Hill & Loxton with Jonathan & Julie Krause as part of the Asante presentations, promoting the cause of ALWS. Still to come this year are Asante events in Toowoomba & Rochedale (Nov 26 & 27) and Perth (Dec 10)

Looking forward to seeing many people on these occasions.
