Listening to books

Recently i have rediscovered the joy or listening to books. As I spend a lot of time in the car I have the perfect opportunity to broaden my interlectual horizons. There are two books that I have listened to so far. The first is "Our Sunshine" by Robert Drewe. The second is "First Man". "Our Sunshine" is loosly based on the happenings of Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang in 18870's. "First Man" tells the story of Niel Armstrong and his jorney to become the firt man on the moon.

It is interesting. Both men found themselves in the riverof life we call history. Both of them sought to achieve in various ways. One of them let circumstance force their hand, while one of them used circumstances to do what could only be dreamed of.

I hope to be a man who will see the value of making the most that circumstances bring.

I dare it... Do you???

I dare to be different

I dare to live the life of faith,
The life of challenge God has planned:
Of holiness and victory,
For truth and righteousness to stand.

I dare to be different,
I dare to believe;
I dare to be different,
God's Spirit receive.
I dare to be different,
my life sacrificed;
I dare to be different by living like Christ.

I dare to ask the Spirit, come,
To match with pow'r my heart's desire,
My life to cleanse and energise
With mighty pentecostal fire.

I dare to be different,
I dare to believe;
I dare to be different,
God's Spirit receive.
I dare to be different,
my life sacrificed;
I dare to be different by living like Christ.

I dare to want to live like Christ
According to his will and way;
His love to know, compassion share,
And serve him boldly ev'ry day.

I dare to be different,
I dare to believe;
I dare to be different,
God's Spirit receive.
I dare to be different,
my life sacrificed;
I dare to be different by living like Christ.

OWSOMS @ Resi

Yesterday Catherine, Spencer & I went to "Shop 16" (the Salvation Army's expression at Reservoir). It was a great time of Worshipping God. One of the highlights was a song that was sung to promote OWSOMS.

Here it is. I hope you Enjoy it.
