		<title>Walking around Waverton and Wollstonecraft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two suburbs in Sydney&#8217;s Lower North Shore and where I went walking yesterday afternoon.  They are about 50 minutes drive from where I live; I may live in Sydney but I am nowhere near the harbour or a beach.  Both suburbs have extensive harbour foreshores and I imagine the cost of houses or [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Fourth Sunday of Great Lent: The Sunday of St John Climacus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Troparion:
With the rivers of your tears,
you have made the barren desert fertile.
Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you,
your labours have borne fruit a hundredfold.
By your miracles you have become a light,
shining upon the world.
O John, our Holy Father,
pray to Christ our God, to save our souls.
Kontakion:
As ever-blooming fruits,
you offer the teachings of your God-given [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take every thought captive to obey Christ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So reads the ESV translation of 2 Corinthians 10:5.
I first came across this today while reading Dith&#8217;s fine post on Common Thinking Errors, the fourth in a very valuable series on depression management.  At the time, given my blog earlier today from work, I saw in it a call to me to not rely [...]]]></description>

		<title>And I get to work&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And it all falls apart.
A &#8220;simple&#8221; request to meet some people outside work sends me into anxiety central.  In one sense I want to, as it is nice to be asked, but overwhemingly I do not &#8212; or at least I feel I do not.  And my &#8220;No&#8221; is answered with, &#8220;See how [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Journey, not the Destination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have started listening to some of the podcasts from Ancient Faith Radio by Steve the Builder, whose website Pithless Thoughts I linked to last week.  I recommend not only his website but also his podcasts for based on the few I have listened to they contain much wisdom and are presented in an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Positives Last Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another good week, for which thanks be to God.  I have found myself using this response, Thanks be to God, a bit more regularly of late when I have been asked how I have been.  It is used regularly by Arabic speaking people in its Arabic form, Alhamdulillah (الحمد لله) meaning &#8220;Praise to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Third Sunday of Great Lent: The Sunday of the Veneration of the Holy Cross</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Troparion (Tone 1):
O Lord, save Your people, and bless Your inheritance.
Grant victories to Your people over their adversaries.
And by virtue of Your Cross preserve Your habitation!
Kontakion (Tone 7):
No longer does the flaming sword guard the gate of Eden,
for a marvellous quenching is come upon it, even the Tree of the Cross.
The sting has been taken [...]]]></description>

		<title>And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Revelation 21:4, and listened to through Edgar Bainton&#8217;s wondrous anthem, And I saw a new heaven, sung by the talented [an understatement] choir of Sydney&#8217;s Christ Church St Laurence on their What Sweeter Music CD tonight as I was driving home: and also on repeat now as I type.
A day of intensity; as I [...]]]></description>
