Trevor's jokes.... oh dear!!

Today i got to work and trev was trying to write up patient files....
He said "how do you spell skiing? Does it have 2 'i's??"
So i replied yes.
He then said "of course it does... otherwise you wouldnt be skiing in a straight line"

oh dear... I think his jokes get worse and worse....

What's the difference between a raisin and a sultana?

I have no idea!!

Back at work...

Well after being on holidays for 10 days... i'm back at work... waaaa
I must admit it was very very very very difficult getting up at 6:45... in the cold!! Sydney is f-f-freezing...

ND Church Camp

Just got back from camp... bit tired cos i havent had great sleep at camp due to the uncomfy bed. Was really cool tho cos i was in the disabled room (no jokes pls) which was like twice the size of the other rooms and had a couch...

We looked at the book of Amos. The youth talks that I went to were really great. The adult talks were like topical talks using Amos to support main points.

I was really encouraged by the youth bible studies and talks. The talks looked at the main themes of Amos - judgement and repentance. I was reminded about how scary God's judgement is. God is a roaring lion who will not tolerate us rebelling against him. But it's so great that he saves us through Jesus Christ. We were reminded that repentance involves being sorry but also doing a 180 and turning from sin.

I sat in on a bible study with yr 7-9 girls. I was totally blown away with their understanding of the bible and how to read an old testament book like Amos. Their understanding of biblical theology and how everything is fulfilled in Jesus Christ is absolutely amazing. The way they were thinking about how God's word applies to their lives is really great and i'm so encouraged by them.

In free time, some yr 10 girls went geocaching. They found the cache and put RICE badges into it. I'm really encouraged by their standing up as Christians and wanting to tell people the gospel by promoting RICE.

Brisbane to Sydney

Well I made it down to brissie. Apparently i've been once before but i dont remember.
Went visiting rellos... i've never met them before but they're really cool. Was good to see my cousin from Adelaide... she and her husband are now living in Bris.

Note to self: confined spaces with my parents for a period of time arent a good idea. My dad's driving always bugs me cos he drives 80 in a 110 zone... in the right lane!! Anyway so i ended up driving... and got pulled over by a cop for a random breath test. My parents are like "were you speeding?" So anyway i wasnt... just my dad drives sooo slow that my driving must have seemed fast.

Went visiting all these places i've never been to before. Byron bay, kempsey(south west rocks).
Anyway, back safely in Sydney. Ready to head off to church camp on thur.

Brynyn and Rachelle's wedding

Got back from Queensland yesterday. Had a great time... and the weather is warm... mmmm
Brynyn and Shell got married last sat at Maleny which is in the Hinterland north of Brisbane. The countryside is really picturesque and they got married in a gazebo overlooking the glasshouse mountains. They both looked so good and have lost a lot of weight each. Shell designed her own dress and it was absolutely beautiful.

Was really cool catching up with people i hadnt seen in yonks. During the father-of-the-bride speech... he asked ppl to raise their hand if they are a chiropractor... basically it was like everybody who wasnt family! He said "Good. If you talk about chiropractic then they can claim the wedding as a tax deduction."

At the reception, there was this really cool french game. Shell and Bryn had to sit back to back and they each had a paddle that had "moi" (me) on one side and "il" (him) or "elle" (her) on the other. They were asked a bunch of questions. The funniest must have been "who wears the pants in the relationship" and both of them raised their paddles to "moi". The next question was "who thinks they wear the pants in the relationship" and Bryn said "elle" (her) and Shell said "moi". Another question was "who is the best chiropractor?"

The next day, we all had breakfast with the newlyweds! Then I drove with some friends to Brisbane to meet up with my parents....

Wimbledon

Well... i fell asleep and didnt see most of the final! But Andy Roddick lost :(
I did expect Federer to win but hoped it might have been closer than the scoreline showed.

Oh well... at least Andy reaching the final justifies his 2nd seeding cos i think ppl (maybe lleyton) were bagging the committee for seeding him 2nd above hewitt.

Anyway, it was great that he reached the final. The matches leading up to the final were really good. Maybe next year.... 3rd time lucky...

Pride and Prejudice

Grace had a P&P party this arvo. It was heaps of fun.... I must have seen the BBC version so many times that i can actually recite a lot of the dialogue... how sad...
I havent watched the whole 6 eps through in one go tho... the first three are actually a bit boring.

It was funny cos ppl were ooohhh'ing and aahhh'ing at mr darcy... he's really quite funny at times. I actually never really liked mr darcy that much but i guess watching the whole thing through, i've started to warm to him. I still like mr bingley better because he starts off nice and is nice at the end... he doesnt have to change at all.

Anyway, i missed the end cos i wanted to get home... the wimbledon final is on!
