Evan Almighty...

Just come across the web site to this new movie Evan Almighty, obviously a sequel to Bruce Almighty, but they are trying to also promote being carbon neutral, apparently the movie itself is the first one made with a zero carbon footprint, what they are also doing is encouraging people to do Random Acts of Kindness. It's the sort of thing you look at and think why isn't the Church doing this... Well it seems that behind it are quite a few Christians, the people Youth Specialties for one . From what i can gather Evan is called by God to build an ark to save people from the coming flood - sound familiar. Should be a great
Check out Ark Almighty too to see how the movie can be used in your church...

My daughter the artist, Jesus and the hedgehog

My six year old daughter is building an art instalation in our back garden at the moment. It involves 3 crosses, a dozen pine cone disciples, a sad looking Jesus, one good criminal and on bad criminal - It's of course a crucifixtion scene.
It amazes me that the depth of sprirtuality that occurs in such a small child and devotion to not only doing this but doing well. Over three nights she has worked on this, putting time and effort into it - even sawing some of the wood herself.
But it also amazes me the depth of devotion and care she has for this "art" too, on Monday night when it was all finished and she was off to bed she suddenly ran outside torch in hand to check on her instalation. She was mortified to see on of the crosses lying face down on the dirt. It seems our friendly neighbourhood hedegehog had stepped into the instalation to inspect, and knocked Jesus down... Needless to say my daughter stood up the cross again and chassed away the hedgehog...

Greg leaves the Wiggles...

It a sad day for children judging by the news report world wide:

"Greg Page, the lead singer of Australian kid-friendly supergroup the Wiggles, has announced plans to quit the song-and-dance crew after 15 years as its most prominent face after being diagnosed with a chronic condition known as orthostatic intolerance...."

"The emotional decision was one which was very difficult, as I have dedicated almost half my life to the Wiggles, and with a question mark over my health, I feel that this is the right decision," the 34-year-old entertainer said. "I will miss the Wiggles and the other guys very much, as well as seeing all the children in the audiences that we perform in front of."

Both my kids prayed for Greg last night - I think even though they are passed the Wiggles stage they will miss him, God Bless Greg and we hope you get well.
