Favourite place in Perth

November 17, 2024

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

I live in a smallish country town about 300 kilometres from Perth. Perth is the capital city of Western Australia and my favourite place to go in Perth is Kings Park.

The great thing about it is that I worked opposite Kings Park for 11 years and every lunch time I would go on a prayer walk. It became a real place of relaxing and spending time with God for me.

Kings Park is a great place for families too. There are so many walking trails, picnic spots and playgrounds for kids. When we lived in Perth we would often go as a family and have a great time.

These days I might only go once a year to Kings Park when I visit Perth. I usually spend some time there when I have some sort of conference or training in Perth. I grab an iced coffee at the kiosk and sit and just enjoy the view.

If you ever visit Perth I would encourage you to check it out. The views of the city and river are amazing. Here is a link to the Kings Park website.

I was just looking online for some information about the YouVersion Bible app and I found this great resource on their website. It is called churchonlineplatform.com.

This great free resource allows churches or ministries to go live online and stream their church services. I just watched the introduction video and it looks really easy to set up and use.

Here is some information from their website…

“Through Church Online Platform, your church can reach right into living rooms, offices, communities, and hearts of people no matter where they are in the world … and no matter where they are with God.

Church Online Platform has the unique features you need to interact with attenders, build community, and help hurting people find Jesus. And they’re all included completely free of charge.

You’ll get the Platform, every feature, ongoing support, and upgrades for the life of the tool—because eternities are at stake.”

My favourite subject at school?

November 7, 2024

What was your favorite subject in school?

This is an interesting one as I have been to school twice. The first time for my education and the second time as a School Chaplain.

First time around my favourite subject was sport. I was good at Maths, but sport was always my favourite. I loved to run, play footy, cricket and always be moving. Especially in primary school before I got Rheumatoid Arthritis.

On my second go around as a School Chaplain it was sport again. I found sport was a great way to connect with the kids in an informal environment. It did not matter if it was footy, basketball, volleyball, or indoor hockey.

I can remember I did sport all day one time. I just followed the new PE teacher around on her first day and I joined in with every sport she set up for the kids. I went home exhausted, but it was a great fun day.

So my favourite subject at school was sport. As a kid and a grown up too!

World Introverts Day

November 3, 2024

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

My holiday would be called World Introverts Day. You can choose to spend it doing what you love and the only rule is that you have to be alone.

If you love being home, you stay home. If you love being out in nature, go and be in nature. If you love sitting in a comfy chair crocheting, then that is your task. That last one was for my wife who reads my blog!

This day would be a public holiday and it would be a Monday, so you get a long weekend. As Monday is traditionally a work day you would be paid too.

I vote for World Introvert Day!
