Welcome!

Due to overwhelming public demand, I am venturing into the world of “the Blog”. (Alright then, about half a dozen very enthusiastic friends have encouraged me to write one).

Welcome to my first official blogpost.

What will my blog be like? Short, sharp and shiny I hope. Something from the heart, the head, and the hip (as in “shooting from” not as in weight loss tips)…and you can blame my fondness for alliteration on my English Literature degree.

It won’t be transcripts of my latest messages. It won’t be end time warnings. It won’t document me cooking through a classic French Cookbook in a year (although that did make Julie Powell a lot of money and a movie deal…on second thoughts).

I’m just intending to share what encourages and inspires me as it just may do the same for someone else.

As I do, I dedicate my efforts to Phil Baker, former senior pastor of Riverview Church in Perth, Western Australia. Phil was a pioneer blogger. I don’t even know him that well, but he is responsible for me hearing the word “Blog” for the very first time. Until that day, I thought a Blog was an alien lifeform out of a sci-fi movie.

I thank you Phil Baker.
