Well I have decided to give up stuff, one thing each week I think, I am going to see how long it lasts and how many things that I have to much of and are not necessary that I can go without.
First on the list is cappuccinos
I’ll see how it goes, its going to be a challenge!

…coming up next week: deserts as well as cappuccinos (its an accumulating list)

Cheers,

Intelligent design

The New Zealand Herald: “Intelligent design - coming to a school near you

Science teachers say it has no place in the classroom. Christian educators say children shouldn’t be denied alternative views.

Science teachers retaliate that it’s not science, it’s religion behind a mask and they don’t want a bar of it. Christian educators argue they can teach it alongside traditional science, so what are science teachers so afraid of?

Google Fight

I found this great website where you get to see search results fight it out.“Google Fight”Cheers, Luke

Two members of the Dutch parliament have questioned whether a popular free software program distributed by Google may be making life easier for would-be terrorists by providing aerial photos of potential targets.

Fruity

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control…Galatians 5:22-23Its been really on my mind lately… I am feeling convicted to be so much more aware of them, especially goodness (holiness) and self-control.Never while living on this earth will I be able to complete these goals, but each step closer I can get the better it will be, it won’t make life any easier (many times it will make it harder), it won’t neccessarily make me happier (hopefully more joyful though), it won’t make me more popular (more …
