Stunning Sydney day and where am I?
Inside watching the Olympics!
Happy to report the Kiwis have made it onto the medal table, and with Gold no less ... Would never have lived it down if we went home empty handed. I find it amusing that I have been chastised for supporting Australia and funnily enough by Australians - I guess having two allegiances is a bit suspect... However, I am unrepentant.
Yielded to internal pressure to go to church last night. So glad I did, our pastor did not disappoint, delivering another great message. Tonight the preaching is from a very high profile pastor from across town. Should be good to hear him again, he was the first pentecostal pastor I heard who made sense of the Holy Spirit stuff without it being way weird. Not sure I would have ended up in Australia if I hadn't heard him way back in 1998.
On the home front Bliss and I have been invited to a barbeque for the whole apartment complex down on the front lawn. Not sure if it is in honour of getting together and meeting the neighbours or an invitation for everyone so that no one can complain about the noise... Not sure about going - the evengelical part of me thinks might be a good opportunity to go out into the harvest field - the other part of me feels like I know enough of our neighbours from being able to see in their windows ...
Anyway, while I decide I need to go the the laundromat to get the washing back ... You would think it would be less trouble to get my machine fixed!!!
