A place for my random thoughts, anecdotes and reflections of what I see and experience in this lifetime.

Walking Backwards

Have been looking at various bushwalks around SE Qld for the upcoming Easter break.

I then remembered the Giant Stairway Walk at Katoomba I did with a bunch of old QUT Christian mates in my uni days. This was when National Training Event was still located at Stanwell Tops, and our team missions were based around the Greater Sydney area.

Giant Stairway Walk

We took the Scenic Railway down and then walked from there to Echo Point, where the 3sisters are.

What most people do is walk down the stairs and then catch the Scenic Railway back to the top!

We did it BACKWARDS.

I don't remember if that had been specified before we went on the walk.........I obviously didn't hear it and therefore collapsed in a heap when we reached the top.

At least I didn't do this walk in flip flops like someone else- bless her!

True womenhood

For women:

Message by John Piper to Women

With very good theology on how marriage is no better than singleness, and why we should not be wimpy women.

An aside- to my interest, John makes mention of some relatives of mine in Australia (Gladys and Esther Staines) as those that are not wimpy women.

No longer anti-social

Helping to make food for a 21st birthday party on the weekend.
Have been told there could be at least 150 people!!

Also, there is a Goodseed Worldviews Evangelistic Conference being held at our church in 2 weeks time. Don't know much about these guys (they're from Canada so maybe you guys can shed some light on them, Nathan and Mareesa?)

Sounds like heavy stuff but some interesting topics though raised that are worth addressing.

Anti-social time

A world first......................
Just checked my calendar and I actually don't have any evening engagements this whole week, Monday to Friday.

What do people do when that happens?
Watch TV?
Read a book?
Clean the house?
Do the laundry?
Cook?
Play card games by themselves?
Sleep?

This whole concept is very foreign to me, especially as I'm not studying either.

Not even uni students get THIS much spare time at night do they?
