Well, it has been quite a while since I posted (two whole months!). There are good reasons for this ... I've been busy with college life. Here are some of the highlights ...Hebrew ... Along with Greek is one of my favourite subjects; often wish that the Masoretic priests were a little more imaginative when they added vowels to the text; discovering that gel pens are the best invention for writing

It's not The Courier Mail (or even the Sydney alternative) but I was recently interviewed for a "newspaper". I was among a few people who got interviewed this time 'round for the MooreWomen magazine Magnolia. Here's what I said ...Current church ...St Thomas’ Anglican Church, North SydneyHome church ...Sunday Night Open House (SNOH), a part of the Ann St Presbyterian Church, BrisbaneCurrently

Okay, so you're ears have probably pricked up and you're thinking that I've come to college and have been swept off my feet by too much romance. (After all, it is called "bridal college".) Well, I think you'll be a little disappointed.Instead I have turned my thoughts, in between learning Greek verb paradigms, to church music and the makings of a good song. Alas, I don't have a thesis-style paper

Although it may come as a surprise, I am quite enjoying studying Greek. The past two weeks has been a great time of learning. At times it’s been overwhelming but Greek’s really interesting once you get into it. Here’s an example of something I learnt today while doing some Greek exercises …Part of our assessment in these first three weeks is to translate Mark 1:1-11. We’ve been given a couple of

One of the buildings at college used to be a hotel called the White Horse Inn - it's the bit that now houses Moore Books and the student mail room. This part of college is often frequented by students who want to buy good books, check their mail and play table tennis.But, if we wind back the clock a few hundred years to the 1500s, we see that another White Horse Inn (WHI) was visited often by

In some ways being a first-year student at MTC is a bit like the first week of primary/high school (depending on which bit of the week we're talking about). But, despite having those recurring feelings of being out-of-place, it's been a great week. (If you want a bit more detail then read on, if you're the "2 minute match hightlights" type of person skip to the bottom.) Here's what's been

I've been thinking a lot about something one of my friends said to me recently. They said that since I'm off to Bible college I'm going to become a "super Christian". To that I say, "I don't think so Tim". (NB: their name isn't 'Tim' but it's a reference to Home Improvement ... never mind.) But in the same breath I'd say, "I really hope so". Confused? Let me explain ... I'm excited about

Alas, my three weeks "break" in Sydney is over but here are some highlights ... Catching up with friends - seeing "Meet the Fockers" with Ange, having breakfast with Karen, shopping at Paddington Markets with Kylie (and scoring some bargains!), lunch with Jo at Observatory Hill, lunch with Bill, Linda & Steven, moving with Geoff & Mark, and hanging out with Mark & Jen. Cooking - it's very rare

When the move south of the border was definite, I went in search of suitable holiday destinations that met with my budget and transport requirements. Surprisingly, I came up with quite a list thanks to Lonely Planet New South Wales. Then the dilemna came: how do I decide between destinations? Well, I just did. I spent the past four days in Wollongong having an absolute blast doing not much! It

On the eve of my departure to Sydney, I decided to embark on one final culinary adventure in my kitchen. And, to no one's surprise, it was enjoyed by all. So, here's the recipe ... Lemon Gelato 8 lemons 1 cup white sugar 5 eggs 2 cups milk 1. Cut lemons in half lengthways. Using a small sharp knife, cut between fruit and pith (this makes it easier to remove the pulp later). Juice lemons. Remove

Well, I've finally joined the long list of those who have blogs - i.e. online web diaries/journals. Here you'll find (over the coming months) descriptions of my adventures as I head off to Sydney and Bible college. Here's the story of how my blog got its name ... I had many ideas about what to call it - mainly formulated as I was drifting off into sleep at night and, therefore, I can't remember
