today ive been mostly thinking about...

How far behind I am in my work

New leaders Training (im on the organising committee) and how much fun leadership and responsibility can be when you get to make decisions like scrapping games on the friday night for an acoustic night, whether you'll scrap question panel or not...wa haha! and food spending budgets...

Whether I'm going to get a blinding bolt of lightening from God over whether I should be president again for another year and if not, who should be...and indeed what the heck to do about the rest of the committeee...

Grace

Guidance and how much i need it right now over CU stuff, my church situation and my future...


today I have been mostly reading things like...

"we live in a post-absolute world, where one person's telos may be another's worst dream. But this too may be nothing to lament. For once we are able to move beyond the tyranny of the absolute, once we are able to live with the fact that perhaps there is no discrete end to human development, at least not of the sort that can command universal assent, we will perhaps have freed ourselves in still another way from that 'metaphysics of prescence', as Derrida (1976) has called it, that serves to obstruct the infinite play of meaning." (Massey in 'rewriting the self')


today I have mostly been eating

chicken.

wisdom for me and those i love.


today i have mostly been

random.

hey al...welcome to my blog!
yeah, grace...man, i think ive got it and then the next moment 'bam' i realise ive totally missed the point. thank goodness grace means that thats ok.

yeah. too much on. too many difficult decisions to make. thanks for reminding me of the timeless ally g phrase "youve got nothing to prove"...in fact i find myself saying that to people (and myself!) all the time!

'grace. it's all we've got.'

good to see you today chum. glad pod's taking good care of you (good man pod!). You can steal any catch phrase of mine any day - especially "you've got nothing to prove". It'll never tire.

Can I steal one of yours in return? Maybe... erm... "wicked on the decks"?! What do'ya reckon?
