Sport Report

I was wondering how we ever got into the situation of publicly funding elite sport. Is it just that everyone else is doing it so we need to do it to? The Crawford report has just ruffled some Olympic feathers.

I love sport but surely there is enough corporate sponsorship, TV deals etc that it can pay for itself. It would mean our taxes could pay for things that really benefit our community instead of having a few Olympic heros to make us feel good. Maybe we need to get it all in perspective, "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." 1 Timothy 4:8

Jesus All About Life

Davo rang me tonight to say that the Jesus All About Life billboards are up and was wondering if we are getting one. The answer is YES!. We are just waiting for it to be delivered. Once it is up I'll let you all know.

Do children need parents?

I thought it was interesting that much of our decision making about the work/family balance has to do with larger economic factors that seem outside our control. I don't know all issues about kids at daycare but I know that God gave dads and mums the primary responsibility to educate and raise their children, not the state. One woman is trying to do something about those larger economic issues. Check out what she is doing here.

Idol

Watching Australian Idol tonight made me realize that most of us are pretty ordinary singers. What really counts in our music and singing at church is our enthusiasm more than excellence. Chris.
