goodbye SMH
Its time for me to move on, dear SMH. Your headlines are getting more and more cryptic, and your top stories more and more newstainment. I’ll be over at the SBS now, but I’ll visit when I need the weather or something.

Micaiah perfected crawl in August
August was a really busy month for us, with 3 sermons and a host of other things. Our church houseparty was also held in August, in picturesque Lake Macquarie:
Micaiah was no slouch either – perfecting his crawl to textbook standards (hand-and-leg co-ordinating, not just a snake-like slithering) this month.
Micaiah independence starts in July
This is the month when Micaiah joined the horizontally mobile by practising his crawl and eating with his hand.

coffee adventure roundup

checklist for itinerant preaching
Itinerant preaching is tough. For a novice like me, I prefer to know the peripherals beforehand so I can concentrate on delivering God’s word in a context where you don’t know the people. But invariably I forget to check one thing or another because I just assume it’ll be as “usual” – and these least-expected [...]
