40 Days of Good stuff - Day 8 - 25 /2. Named after a town in Northern NSW & hometown of my Father. As we journey through Lent it is helpful to know where we come from but also to discover where we are going, For me, the Lenten journey is towards truth, meaning , towards God.

40 Days of Good Stuff, Day 7 24/2. Our visits to this beach town have brought us to our special place, a place of quiet, reflection and peace. It was a perfect place to spend some time during Lent. I hope that you have or that you find your special place this Lent. Blessings.
40 Days of Good Stuff Day 6 . Monday after lent I. Come and Sing at Southwark 2013 Music has always been an integral part of my spiritual life. I cannot play an instrument but this music is always rising from within me and lifting me out of myself and closer to God. Blessings
40 Days of Good Stuff Day 4 Saturday after Ash Wednesday 21 Feb Greetings. The season of Lent reminds us that we are finite human beings in a world of infinite possibilities. We are called to live each day to the full and in so doing to make the world a better place. Blessings.
40 Days of Good Stuff Day 3 - 20 Feb. We have lived in this neighbourhood for nearly 56 years. Much has changed in that time. However, just a short distance away is this amazing view of the Tidbinbilla Range. Every time I see it, it stops me in my tracks and I am blessed. Peace
40 Days of Good Stuff Day 2 19 Feb Give thanks to God for the ordinary people who we meet on the journey who do extraordinary things, particularly in health care who are dedicated to restoring our health and wellbeing.
40 Days of Good Sh... Day 1 Ash Wednesday We discovered this new flower emerging from our messy and spiky Banksia Blechnifolia. As it matures the flower opens out and becomes a soft brown. Like so much of life beauty emerges out of the most difficult circumstances. Blessings

Epiphany IV Greetings. Any act of love is subversive of systems of oppression and brings freedom. (K R Batterham) Peace, justice and blessings.
Saturday after Epiphany III. Greetings. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." ~ Desmond Tutu Peace, justice and blessings.
The new humanity that is created around Jesus is not a humanity that is always going to be successful and in control of things, but a humanity that can reach out its hand from the depths of chaos, to be touched by the hand of God.” ― Rowan Williams, Being Christian: Peace.
Thursday after Epiphany III Greetings. "Theology is not only about understanding the world; it is about mending the world." ~ Miroslav Volf Peace, Justice and blessings.
Epiphany III Greetings. Worship of Jesus is rather harmless and risk-free; actually following Jesus changes everything." ~ Richard Rohr. Peace, justice and blessingss.
Saturday after Epiphany III Greetings. Christianity is at its best when it is peculiar, marginalized, suffering, and it is at its worst when it is popular, [comfortable], triumphal, and powerful." ~ Shane Claiborne Peace, justice and blessings.
Wednesday after Epiphany III Greetings. To be human in an aching world is to know our dignity and become people who safeguard the dignity of everything around us.” — Cole Arthur Riley Peace, justice and blessings.
Tuesday after Epiphany III Greetings. "The truth about injustice always sounds outrageous." ~ James H. Cone Peace, justice and blessings.
Monday after Epiphany III Greetings. Jesus is alive! Resurrected in the lives of the poor and the marginalised, deported by the wealthy west because of his otherness. - Ken Batterham Peace, justice and blessings.
Epiphany III Greetings. "I have learned to prize holy ignorance more highly than religious certainty and to seek companions who have arrived at the same place." ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Saturday after Epiphany II Greetings "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace, justice and blessings.
The world would be different and a better place if Christians lived the gospel of unconditional love for all, bringing justice to the poor and the marginalised and always working for peace. Unfortunately such a plan for living gets in the way of the power elites. - Ken Batterham
