I’ve just returned from the The Sydney Theatre. I attended the preview night of The Bell Shakespeare Company’s production of Carlo Goldoni’s wondrous romantic comedy The Servant of Two Masters.
From the Bell Shakespeare website:
Truffaldino is an out of work servant and in one fantastic day he ends up with two jobs. And why not [...]
A powerful flash indeed. Some photos from the Sunday night shipmeet.
And yes: I always do have my mouth open.
While I’m waiting for the photos from the retreat to be placed on our church website (I didn’t take any photos there…I had no batteries for the camera! :bangs head:), I’ll talk about the beautiful city of Melbourne.
Yes: a Sydney-sider said Melbourne was beautiful. I’m not sure if interstate rivalry is a universal thing, [...]
Surfacing for air on a very — make that extraordinarily — busy first day back at work after the long, long weekend I had. It seems to be a weekend for retreats: Jack the Lass was at one also — and her getting there is a story in itself: well worth a read.

Ngim and L are members of [...]

Fantastic storms last night. Lightning lit up the sky every two seconds and the rain pelted down. We desperately need the rain. Please pray we receive more.
O GOD, heavenly Father, who by thy Son Jesus Christ hast promised to all those who seek thy kingdom, and [...]
In terms of any art, I’m an ignoramus. In fact, a super-ignoramus. I know nothing.
I do like to go to Art Galleries, occasionally; I’ll make a special effort if a ‘famous’ artist has an exhibition, like I did with the Caravaggio exhibition. I wander around galleries, especially when I’m in [...]
Today is celebrared, among others, Apostle Philemon of the Seventy; St. Apphia the wife of Philemon and Equal of the Apostles; Apostle Archippus the Martyr of the Seventy; and St. Onesimus the Disciple of St Paul.
I find it a great blessing to read the lives of those we only get a glimpse of in the [...]
