One of the ladies I work with at school showed me this video clip. Its a good sentiment but one that is too common. I also would like to believe her that she IS sorry but some of her expressions make me doubt- and I know it is just the video clip but...
I've been working on trying to do less things that I regret being passive about. It has caused me to withdraw from some circles but it is something I'm going to continue to work on.
As the quote on my phone says "Which hurts the most: saying something you wish you had not, or saying nothing and wishing you had" I vote the latter... you?

True Union
Well I couldn't sleep tonight so I thought I'd stay up for the rugby union... big mistake. Decided I like union's free flowing game. Problem is it doen't happen much- so I think I'll stick to highlights on Sports Tonight. I think Union is in a fair bit of trouble world wide- less and less people are playing and watching. Already football (soccer) is well and truly taking over Union's ranking of fourth most watched sport in australia- and if australia gets to host the world cup it will take off. The problem for rugby is they had their world cup in OZ and it didn't make much difference to player's numbers or viewers once it was over. Well how do the americans get people to watch their boring sports? Make movies about their sports with high intensity highlights, add personal touch, maybe a bit of racial inequality to make you 'connect with the people'. Well union is trying the same thing with Invictus. Three of the biggest hollywood names in Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman starring with Clint Eastwood directing. And whilest I cringe at the prospects of terrible attempts at south African accents (Mett Demon) I'm actually looking forward to this movie. And who knows it may get me watching rugby.

Attempt at a List
Nathan suggested if you can't think of what to write, Post a list- so here it goes.
Statements I hate
1. But what do you know?
2. Look I'm the doctor here leave that to me.
3. You wouldn't understand
4. One day you'll think the same.
5. You don't know what its like.
Henceforth when I hear these statements punishment will reign down like fire from heaven so consider yourself warned.

Shows i hate
There are many shows I hate on tv. Soap operas. Medical show. Medical soap operas. (Scrubs of course is excluded).
But by far and wide the show I have hated most on TV besides the 3am tele evangelists is a show I have blocked the name out in my memory.
It consisted of hanging around in a hospital Foyer waiting for the next sad case to come through. If a Lawyer did this they would be sent to jail. It is capitalizing on people when they are at their most vulnerable for the sake of trying to pull your emotional strings and make you feel like you have an emotional attachment to these people. Let them be in their hour of sadness- Let people grieve in a dignified manner without shoving a camera in their face stickybeaking. Next we will have the tv crews sitting outside the morgue hoping for good stories

Murder in the High Seas.
Found this article here. Makes a very good point.
THERE appears to be a VERY BIG shark out there.
We know this because it made a snack out of just a BIG shark, a 3m white pointer, off Stradbroke Island last week.
Photos of what was left of the hapless great white, huge chunks of flesh torn from its once streamlined body, flashed around the world.
The size of the bigger shark was estimated to be at least 5m, causing the sphincters of Straddie's surfers to get very watertight indeed.
Shark photos and stories always elicit fascination but this particular photo should have caused cheering. It should have sparked a celebration that an animal that big still roams our seas.
And then it should have caused outrage that Queensland conducts a shark control program of dubious worth that indiscriminantly kills a creature listed as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
If you or I went out there and killed that 3m great white, we would be prosecuted and fined.
But Queensland and New South Wales have exemptions under the Act that allow the killing of these rare and beautiful creatures in the name of keeping swimmers safe.
"The shark control program is a bather-safety initiative and white sharks are an acknowledged threat to bathers," Queensland shark control program manager Tony Ham said. "There is an exemption for the shark control program in the fisheries legislation that allows their take within the program."
This is a great example of why governments are such a rich source of material for comedians.
There are hardly any great whites left. They are protected in Australia. Australia lobbied to have the species listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora to deter the lucrative trade in their jaws and teeth.
The Federal Government has what it calls a White Shark Recovery Plan. And then Queensland is allowed to throw baited drumlines into the sea and kill every peckish white pointer that passes by. What a joke.
The netting protecting Queensland and NSW beaches is a problem too, snaring its share of white pointers. And aren't we all getting a bit sick of seeing whales hooked up in the nets?
Hardly anything is known about white pointers – other than their numbers have crashed around the world, with estimates ranging between 60 and 90 per cent.
The Shark Recovery Plan says this about them: "The listing of the white shark as vulnerable was based on a number of factors, including evidence of a declining population, its life history characteristics (long-lived and low levels of reproduction), limited local distribution and abundance at the time of listing, and still being under pressure from the Australian commercial fishing industry."
There would be few things more terrifying than being attacked by a great white shark, no argument. But the chances of it happening are laughably remote. This is what the International Shark Attack File, which monitors shark-related incidents around the world, has to say about your chances of getting a nip:
"From a statistical standpoint, the chances of dying in this area (the sea) are markedly higher from many other causes (such as drowning and cardiac arrest) than from shark attack," it says.
"Many more people are injured and killed on land while driving to and from the beach than by sharks in the water. Shark attack trauma also is less common than such beach-related injuries as spinal damage, dehydration, jellyfish and stingray stings and sunburn. Indeed, many more sutures are expended on sea shell lacerations of the feet than on shark bites!"
The United States has more shark attacks than anywhere else.
But the ISAF says more people die in the US from sand-hole collapses on the beach than from an encounter with a Noah's Ark.
Certainly, in Queensland, you are more likely to die going for a few quiet drinks at a nightclub than being chomped in half at Straddie.
Perhaps the State Government should introduce a dickhead management program whereby the police are allowed to set mantraps baited with schooners of beer or bottles of Bundy near where potential glassers might lurk. It won't matter if the odd innocent drinker gets caught because the cops will be granted a legislative exemption.
Almost without exception, the people who survive shark attacks wish no ill-will to the creatures and anyone who has seen one while diving or snorkelling can't help but marvel at their sleek grace.
Great whites are the best sharks, the most awesome sharks, the sharks everyone would love to see.
So why are we still killing them when there are so few left?
There should be a moratorium on both netting and drumlines until a non-lethal method of shark management can be devised.
It's a small risk with a big reward.
by Rory Gibson.
He's right- I was in the water with a great white once in PNG and I'll never forget the grace of it and awe it inspired in me. I'm sure other people feel the same way about wild tigers and lions. Clearly we need to save these apex predators- But as they say in Shark water- no one wants to give money to save sharks as they arent fluffy and cuddly enough. Not quite like a pigmy hedgehog.

I need a Hero
Today we had a training day for school chaplains. Dave walker spoke and one of the points he made was that once we understand where we sit with God that is where we put our ministry in perspective. We aren't to be a hero- Jesus is the hero. He merely allows us to be a part of his ministry. We realise we need to rely on him more and more. I like this song- even though it isn't overtly religious- but I I think it shows how we do need a Hero- and there is only one Hero who can be trusted to save us just in time.
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losing my faith today
Falling off the edge today
I am just a man
Not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
It's just another war
Just another family torn
Falling from my faith today
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero, save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time

We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die
Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero
Living in me
I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
I need a hero to save me now

I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me just in time

The beautiful game
Well I was was going to comment about how some people did have no idea about football and that you could tell a lions supporter from the way they support the team only when they are winning or in the world cup... but I wont. :)
Instead I'm going to post this link just to enjoy it over and over again and enjoy the memory of a thrilling game and one which I believe might of even have convinced some of the eggheads supporters, whose idea of atmosphere is the sound of chip packets opening, that football truly is a beautiful game.
Nathan also posted a similar post which is well worth checking out here

Book Sale
I love books. I love reading. Coincidentally I love reading books. I've been trying to track down some books I read as a kid which I wanted to re-read. Now I went down the e-bay route and google searches and stumbled across this site: http://brotherhoodbooks.org.au/ It is a site done by the brotherhood of St Lawrence with all profits going back into the charity. It made me fascinated- so often our Christian charities are no up with it technologically and resort to waving around collection tins or little side street op shops. Added to that the books I ordered were cheap- in good condition and arrived promptly. Now admittedly they have a smallish range but well worth checking out first.

Karma???
Sometimes people get what they deserve. Case in point the Brisbane Lions. Daniel Bradshaw a long time servant of the club- from all accounts a decent bloke father of 4, had taken a pay cut to play at the club, was stunned to hear his club offer him as trade bait for Fevola- talented footballer but a real grub. Eventually they got Fev without having trade Bradshaw and trumpeted how good they would be with the dual strike force of Fevola and Bradshaw. However Bradshaw no longer wants to play for Brisbane (or Fevola maybe???). Better yet he told them after trade week so brisbane get nothing for him. Love it. Wonder how many supporters they'll lose too. Is is worth winning a final by losing everything your club stands for? (the family club)

Lack of bloggage
Well I've decided to bow to public pressure (who am I kidding???) and follow my esteemed peers Joel and Phoebe (who am I kidding- I just write a blog to try be like them) and write a blog appologising for my blogging or lack there of. I realise I am making a number of assumtions in this statement. Firstly I am assuming people actually check this or haven't deleted me off their google reader. Secondly I am making the assumption that they are actually my friends. Finally I am making the assumption that I will blog more. One or more of these assumptions may be incorrect. Now onto the obligatory excuses for not posting.
Well in all seriousness I've been struggling a fair bit. I guess the closest thing I could call it is depression but I'm not sure if it has been that. Maybe Aloneness (it isn't a I need to find a wife right now- its more of a I feel like my life is on a different orbit to everyone else) might be the better word but it is hard to track down. I've been struggling with this for about 2 years now and it comes and goes. Most people will not have noticed this. Do not feel bad if you haven't- this isn't aimed at you it is me who has needed to open up to people and I've had amply opportunity but haven't.
This affected my life in many ways--- and all of them are inter-twined and I'm sure I've missed noticing some but here are a few.
Firstly when I get depressed I eat- I know its bad for me but... this has meant I've put on more weight. This has impacted the amount of physical activity I do making more depressed and not to mention all the other issues that go with that.
Secondly I'm Kinda like a volcano or a high tensile (sp???) metal rod. I internalise many things and take heaps until I snap- or explode and some of the people I have snapped at haven't been the people I've been annoyed at- for this I appologise deeply. My behavior towards some people towards whom I've snapped mentally (not a big explosion but only in my mind) there has been no excuse for and against every type of behavior a christian should be living for. Again most of you who read my blog probably will not have noticed but I appologise deeply to anyone I've hurt, physically or emotionally, gossiped about or not been more friendly towards.
What this has ment is also an high level of apathy towards many things (especially my blog). Some one told me that I'm willing do do anything to help some one else but unwilling to help myself. I'm not meaning in a greedy way but am not looking after myself either physically, mentally or spiritually. I write this not as a cry for help but rather a step on the road to recovery. A public (again I delude myself) acknowledgment of my failings and a pledge to keep relying on God rather than this world or my emotions.
So hopefully this will mean some more blogs- I realise this will be a change from my usual lack of anything significant, preachy rants and humorous rubbish which I was posting to appear to be cultured. I also wont be hurt if you stop reading my blog if it is getting you down- please mail me if that is the case- as I can be very self absorbed in that or often say things I don't mean.
Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the LORD called me;
from my birth he has made mention of my name.
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,

Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the LORD called me;
from my birth he has made mention of my name.
He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow
and concealed me in his quiver.
He said to me, "You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor."
But I said, "I have labored to no purpose;
I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing.
Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand,
and my reward is with my God."
And now the LORD says—
he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel to himself,
for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD
and my God has been my strength-
he says:
"It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."
This is what the LORD says—
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel—
to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
"Kings will see you and rise up,
princes will see and bow down,
because of the LORD, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
This is what the LORD says:
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
to say to the captives, 'Come out,'
and to those in darkness, 'Be free!'
"They will feed beside the roads
and find pasture on every barren hill.
They will neither hunger nor thirst,
nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them.
He who has compassion on them will guide them
and lead them beside springs of water.
I will turn all my mountains into roads,
and my highways will be raised up.
See, they will come from afar—
some from the north, some from the west,
some from the region of Aswan. "
Shout for joy, O heavens;
rejoice, O earth;
burst into song, 13 O mountains!
For the LORD comforts his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me."
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
Your sons hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.
Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your sons gather and come to you.
As surely as I live," declares the LORD,
"you will wear them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.
"Though you were ruined and made desolate
and your land laid waste,
now you will be too small for your people,
and those who devoured you will be far away.
The children born during your bereavement
will yet say in your hearing,
'This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.'
Then you will say in your heart,
'Who bore me these?
I was bereaved and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.
Who brought these up?
I was left all alone,
but these—where have they come from?' "
This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
"See, I will beckon to the Gentiles,
I will lift up my banner to the peoples;
they will bring your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
Kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the LORD;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed."
Can plunder be taken from warriors,
or captives rescued from the fierce ?
But this is what the LORD says:
"Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend with you,
and your children I will save.
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine.
Then all mankind will know
that I, the LORD, am your Savior,
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
Isaiah 49

Shattered Fathers day
Its worth remembering about what Father's day means to many people- As Christians its so easy to join that slow fade. We played this at church this morning and I thought it worth sharing- although most people would have seen this then.
Also sorry this is another you tube video- I'll make some decent posts once I get back from Yr4 camp
Faithful Friend preformed by Twila Paris and Steven Curtis Chapman
We played this song in church tonight... made me think... I would like- one day for this to be said about/by me
