OK, last post about the world cup.

I don't know much about soccer (I'm not calling it football anymore, not after that ref dragged the beautiful game into shame) but as far as I can figure you can't foul someone when your laying on the ground?

But, I love you boys.

PS: for a pick me up go to my brothers blog and check out the dancing prancing ref http://tubemantravels.blogspot.com

???!!

Would you take oxygen from a dying man?

No, I didn't think so.

So why the heck did SABC 1 show a REPEAT of the Chec v Italy game at midnight rather than the Aussie v Croatia match??

Someone needs to tell those morons that I wasn't in Sydney for the Olympics and I'm sick and tired of missing these defining moments of my nation. I feel deficent, missing, incomplete. I feel like an oppressed person.

Like last nigths ref with the red, I hesitate to play this card, but personally I think it is because SA can't stomoach Aust being good at everything. But we are . So there.

Hell, Yes!!

I'll be honest. I watch soccer . . .sorry, football, once every 4 years. If I bumped into a member of the Socceroos walking down the street, I would be clueless. But now, I need to apologise to my team, my countrymen, my nation.

I'm sorry. Really.

With that apology in place want to say, You guys are bloody awesome!!!!!!!!

I pulled some comments off the Sydney Morning Herald. In the true spirit of mateship and the little Aussie battler, read on . . . .

“Vince Grella hunted like a dog, Brett Emerton had so much energy he could have run to Kaiserslautern from his teenage home near Cambelltown. When Craig Moore returns to Australia, he could move to near Uluru. He would not look out of place. Kewell toyed with defenders although to little avail. Chipperfield motored. Viduka actually ran, too. There was not a cheat among them.”

“Tim Cahill, the hero of the hour, grew up in Annandale, a freak at his school for playing "soccer" in the playground. He flew into Japan's penalty box to score Australia's equaliser and was a freak once more. Then there was the second.

Build that man a statue on Johnston Street.”

Thirst

I've spent the last few days with Rico Tice (of All Souls London and Christianity Explored fame). He is quite simply a super guy.

He preached last night on John 4, the Samaritan women at the well. In passing he made some really insightful comments.

Our realtionships were designed with certian stress bearing load capacities. If we demand from our relationships - esp. marriage - things that they were never meant to deliever, we will break them beyond repair. The women in the story had a deep thirst. She had been through 5 husbands trying to quench it, but to no avail. She was looking in her husbands for what she could only get in Jesus. Jesus knows this of course, and tells her that she will not find what she is looking for in her relationships, or in Jerusalem or Samaria, but only in Him.

Rico passed on some top advice he got about marriage.
If you don't feed on Jesus, you will feed on each other.

They Return

This weekend was a big one. For lots of reasons. None the least of which was that it saw the return of Bible Man, Gospel Boy and Memory Verse Dude.

After a popular tour of Junior and Senior Youth in years gone by the 3 bible superheroes have come out of retirement for a skit infront of 1500 people on Sunday morning. They were a little rusty, but they won the hearts and minds of the people, yet again.

Bible Man is quite close to me and allowed me to publish his super badge.

Rest assured good people of the world, your heroes are back!
