• Great services this morning. Band was really great, and it felt good. #
• Enjoying some lunch at home with Nic before heading up to the airport for a flight to Kal. Leading an ACOM ethics unit over next 3 days. #
• Nice and quiet in the Qantas Club this arvo. Last time I was here there was literally no spare seats. Crazy. Lots of elbow room today. #
• “The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.” – Niccolo Machiavelli #
• Just experiencing the slowest baggage anywhere! #
• Alrighty, just discovered that the taxi program in Kalgoorlie is a teeny bit limited. Nice long queue with no taxis. Hmmm… Walk?! Nah…:) #
• Just heard the lamest plug for a big show thing on Sky channel for the World Youth Day event in Sydney with the pope. Cheesy+… #

• Busy day doing all the usual Saturday domestic stuff. Off to the movies with my beautiful wife tonight… Indiana Jones. Should be fun. #

• A writing sort of day today. Busy. #
• busy day, and then bit of work late this evening. time for bed. feeling bushed. #

i have just finished reading the book, and now someone has kindly lent me the dvd series, which i think will be just the best follow up to the book. i was so inspired by the book. the descriptions of battle and what men went through was pretty powerful, and a great many leadership insights everywhere. and, now i have a huge amount of background and context to really enjoy the dvd series, of which i had only previously seen snippets.

i have some long flights coming up in july to the US, so this is perfect.

A great start to the day…

Nothing like an award in assembly to get a kid’s day off to a good start! :-)

No way!

Believe it or not, this bland document is my invitation from Brian Houston to the Hillsong Conference. I’m quite amazed, to be honest. Normally these guys do a bang up job with design and cool presentation, so this text only, no letterhead, lot-of-words doc is odd, to say the least. Unless it possesses some subtle message I haven’t figured out yet…?

Aaaaaaaaah!
