happy new year

well another year has passed and the new year lays ahead of us like an innocent full of possibilities! As 12 came around last night, me and a few friends sat around watching the sydney fireworks on TV (lets face it the canberra ones weren't worth a look)...

Anyway the theme for the nye celebrations was the Heart.. standing for "love & compassion" in a year when we saw australia dig deep for the tsunami victims....

now i don't want to get all down on this idea as i think it is great! but the fact is that we spent another couple of mil$$ on patting ourselves on the back when we haven't made a dent in the needs of this world...

and the worse thing is the clearest voice on compassion in the world is not coming from the church but from secular institutions like sydney city council???

so for me 2 ny resolutions

1. To blog every day (well at least try to)
2. To try and work out how to wake the church to the lost world around us and seek positive change!

i am sure it wont take me long to screw both of them up but its worth a try

peace! and happy new year!
