Not as big as i am:. For family, friends, neighbours, and aliens . . . becoming new . . . So I've generalized four values/customs/behaviors from my impression of Australians, but I'm in no way saying all or even half of the broad Australian culture. 1 Australians work hard. Very hard. And well. Very hard and very well. 2 Australians have holidays well. They know how to spend a good vacation and do so. 4 Australians are averse to religious pomp and certainty, but not to good works or spirituality. I belie...

::not as big as i am::: Me . . . a Winter Baby?
http://notasbigasiam.blogspot.com/2009/06/me-winter-baby.html
Not as big as i am:. For family, friends, neighbours, and aliens . . . becoming new . . . Me a Winter Baby? This is how a girl from Queensland keeps her "born-in-a-Texan-summer" baby warm in a New South Wales winter. I might have endured snow and minus 30 temperatures in Canada; a non insulated apartment and icy cold bike rides to school in Japan . . . but I still call it cold here. I'd have to say though, that there isn't much cuter than a bundled up baby . . . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 1 Chri...

Not as big as i am:. For family, friends, neighbours, and aliens . . . becoming new . . . With another thought in mind, somewhat related, we are not going as church-planters per say, but as seed-planters. As Jesus said, "Go and make disciples . . ." and it was God who has always added to the church and created new communities. So, what is this seed? Concise and just say what, latently, the seed is in four english words: ONE FOR ALL LIFE. New Frontiers into Reality (Some quotes). The equator served as an ...

Not as big as i am:. For family, friends, neighbours, and aliens . . . becoming new . . . Thank you for, in all your power and wisdom, allowing me to leave my digital video camera on the train Saturday. And thank you for letting me be absent-minded for that brief second on the train. I don't blame you for not reminding me or intervening. I don't blame you as if you intervened to make me forget the camera. I'm just saying I attribute the good that came out of it to you and your generosity. I'm thankful be...

Ella: foreign, . . . torch, bright light. Perhaps the Greek meaning torch gives the sense in which we hope Ella will be a witness to the The Way. Perhaps she will testify concerning the bright light that is Christ. As popular a name as it was in the 1880s . . . “Ella” is back again! Rhys: enthusiasm for life. Perhaps ̶...

::not as big as i am::: Waste Not! Food Swap, 27 July
http://notasbigasiam.blogspot.com/2009/07/waste-not-food-swap-27-july.html
Not as big as i am:. For family, friends, neighbours, and aliens . . . becoming new . . . Food Swap, 27 July. You make grass grow for cattle and make vegetables for humans to use in order to get food from the ground. Rain and snow come down from the sky. They do not go back again until they water the earth. They make it sprout and grow so that it produces seed for farmers and food for people to eat. Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant? Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.

Not as big as i am:. For family, friends, neighbours, and aliens . . . becoming new . . . Daniel Dennett, Mother Theresa, and Sigmund Freud walk into a bar. Who do you suppose gets up off the ground the least confused? It's just an introductory joke I made up. Below in block quotes is a comment I copied from a blog post by Richard Beck. He responds to Daniel Dennett's judgment of Mother Theresa saying,. Then, we played our first real game of the season and lost decisively. For the next practice time,...
