Yay its done

Got the essay done and now got to work on the presentation for it but yeah good to finish another assessment piece.

Found this and thought it was good:

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.
- George Burns

Must remember that....

Procrastination

It is that time again to sit down and actually do some uni work, i.e. typing up an essay.

The funny thing though is that procrastination is coming much easier than the typing. Once I get into it though it will start to flow and will get done.

Anyhow, got class to go to and then it will be back into the essay. If anyone can shed further light on the development of open source or linux within education then you are free to comment about it and let me know what you know about it.

All Done

Yay, no call so off to home it is for me. :)

The End

There is 5 minutes of my shift left, will I get a call like other times or not?

Mission Beginning

I just wanted to make a post regarding having a meeting last night about a Kenyan Mission Trip planned for early '08.

I feel that God wants me to go on this mission trip so as a record I have made this post so that it can be looked back upon later to see His leading and to let you all know about it.

Life

This last week has been quite a shock for most people with the death of Steve Irwin and then Peter Brock about 3 days later. I am sure it has made a lot of people think about life and death and what they want to do before they die. It places life into perspective - in that we may not have as long as we would think or hope.

I find that I waste a lot of time by not being organised and using time management effectively so I don't get to do as many things that I could do if I was better at managing my time. Of course with God's help this will improve and it has benefits because with this extra time you can spend it doing more things for Him. :)

I encourage each one of you to think about how you are living your life to make it count for God so that you can leave a impact on those who you come in contact with.

The main thing is to enjoy life and live life to the fullest as God has blessed us in so many ways.

Relying on God

I am currently working on and organising a sermon for tomorrow on the topic of "Relying on God".

It is an encouraging and convicting preparation time.

According to the wonderful cliche, "Practice what you preach", I am always looking at how I can serve God better and live for him better and not just tell others what they should do. From this sermon preparation, God is revealing to me quite a few things. Below are some of them:

• Everything is so good and everything works out so well when we rely on God when doing things, so why don't I want to rely on Him all the time? (John 15:5)
  

• Why is it that we lose such a passion that we have to live for God when we first become believers? (2 Cor 5:17)
  

• If we can live such a better life by relying on God in everything, why is it so hard to give Him that control? (Phil 2:21,Proverbs 3:5-6)
  

• What great things could God do with our lives if we only let Him? (Who knows!!)
  

We really need to make sure that we are making our lives count for Him and Eternity.

I trust that these thoughts may touch your hearts and draw you closer to God.
