Did Jesus really rise again from the dead? Its one of those questions that has been debated over and over, and fortunately, there is a simple answer and 5 simple ways we can be absolutely certain. I decided to email the list with these 5 points.......you can check it out in the email archives.

8 Days ago the Pope John Paul II passed away and went to be with the Lord. Although I'm not a Roman Catholic and most of the people I know are not either, I am convinced that this was a godly man that we should honour and respect for his devout and faithful life and service to God. Every denomination has weaknesses and faults, whether it be the Lutherans, Baptists, Pentecostals or the Roman Catholics.

Just wanted to let you all know that on April 25 I'm going to take a week off to go hiking at Carnarvon National Park. I'll post photos when I'm back. I'm really looking foward to it.

I leave today for my hiking trip. Will be visiting Black Alley Range and the Consuelo Tableland parts of Carnarvon National Park in Central Queensland. Catch you in a week or therabouts.

My hiking trip didn't end up going as planned. There were a couple of things which happened which were unfortunate and the whole event was a little stressful while I was in the middle of it. However, now that it is over I am glad to have had the experience of remote solo hiking. The rangers at Carnarvon National Park wanted me to send them photos and a report of my trip.

Today is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. ANZAC stands for "Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and on April 25 every year, Aussies and Kiwis (New Zealanders) remember their soldiers who fought in World War I, especially the battle at Gallipoli.

Turned 28 at about 10:00 this morning. My grandmother phoned me at breakfast to wish me a happy birthday and asked how old I was. I told her and she said "Thats young." However it sounds old to me. How did I suddenly get to 28 when I was only 18 not very long ago. That last 10 years just dissapeared in a blink. I have a theory about this actually. When a person is young, time seems to pass slowly because compared to the amount of time they have lived, a day is a much larger unit of time.

Every year we have the Tent of Promise visit us, and yesterday it arrived in town. Having the Tent is one of the highlights of the year and we always look forward to its visit, and also the ministry of its people, especially Pastor Barry Cunnington, the leader.

This famous saying by John Donne was coined in the 17th century, and is the subject of my latest email.

The Bible says in the book of Peter that you are a living stone................what? It does sound odd, but I guess if you understand exactly what its saying then it does make a great deal of sense. So all you stones out there who are reading this, why don't you click and find out exactly why the Bible says you are this.
