Visiting BUCO in Kangaroo Flat

This morning I paid a visit to the BUCO outreach in Kangaroo Flat and had a chance to see how Max Blume's operation worked. It is smaller but operates in a more open space. I got to see how his IT system works. It was an interesting morning.

"Supersize me.....!!!!"

It's been a while since I updated this blog. The reason for this is that there is not much to blog about. It has been pretty quite and uneventful lately. At Connect Church this morning, we had a visiting pastor get up to preach. He was the same pastor who came 5 months ago and announced that Ps Russell Harper was standing down from his post. Thankfully this time he did not have any particularly dramatic announcements to make. The theme of his message was "Lord, supersize me..". He preached about Joseph in the Old testament. He talked about how the Lord eventually "Supersized" him from being a prisoner to the Prime Minister. He talked about how Joseph never changed his attitude, despite his circumstances. I felt that this was a relevant word for this church as a whole.

It will be rather interesting to see how the Lord outworks this message. In the afternoon I scored myself a new lounge. Some body gave it away. My place is getting cluttered.

Checking out health and fitness

I dedicated most of the day to checking out health and fitness options. I looked into buying some gym equipment as well as going out to the YMCA gym in Eaglehawk to look into taking out a membership. I have got to develop a fitness routine in order to lose weight and lower my blood pressure. I think I will study the Eaglehawk option further.

In the evening we held the third Men's Shiraz nights for the year. We met at the Furness's house. It was a chance to say goodbye to Fraser Peirce, who is going to Adelaide next week.

Easter Saturday

I went to Coffee Connect today. There were a couple of guys there as well as me, which made it a bit different. In the evening, I watched Star Trek Nemesis - the only Star Trek movie that I had not seen so far.

Good Friday 2010

Today is Good Friday 2010. I did not go to church today but stayed home and have made some pretty good progress on the website. It is coming up really well now. I went for a walk in the afternoon and watched the Star Trek DVD in the evening. It was a pretty quiet day generally.

Funeral of an old friend

This week, my good friend Colin Pilcher passed away after a fall at his home. I have known Colin for more than 40 years and it was sad to se...
