cow_under_tree_by_usartdude.jpgApologies, the post on thankfulness is coming. I had forgotten that I had to do the entertaining thing yet again. Had a good nine or so of the YITS crew here tonight and I was out earlier getting things printed and hanging out with Sam and Ana.

We catch up (those of us who live out this way) once every two weeks. According to someone tonight, we’re the only year ever that has done anything of the kind… not that we’re competing, but I do think we had a group made up of some mighty fine people!

It’s nice to have a permanent, less frequent but still very close community. Attempt to put that into some kind of box! We as a general rule don’t catch up that much outside of the set time but something pretty decent happens when we do.

What’s that in the sidebar?

That, is a link to the secondhand kids books that my mum and I (and occasional other family members) sell on Ebay.

This is currently my only source of income (besides the little the Government is kind enough to give me as a student who doesn’t earn much).

So, if you’re after something (kids picture book/novel) email me as we probably do have it in our vast collection.

Have a look anyway, and point people our way! We don’t make profit on our postage, and do our best cut a fair deal on our starting prices.

Do I sound convincing?

Let me point you towards this. The Fight. This guy (Adrian Rowse) and his wife used to be youth pastors at my last church, he also started gush.com.au which I have been involved in for several years now. He’s doing some fantastic stuff on a different plane now through Roundabout Ministries, I have friends who’ve been positively influenced and changed by it. Very worth youth pastors (and others) checking this out!

“Our generation is sex-saturated. Whether we seek it out or not, porn is in our faces, on our TV screens, billboards, magazines, everywhere.
Gone are the days where it was hard to get your hands on porn. You don’t have to go into an adult store any longer. 400+million pages of porn of all varieties is available online at the click of a button. And with the continuing technology boom, the next big thing is mobile porn, porn in your pocket. Porn use is totally acceptable and normal for this generation. One 22 year old said, I watch porn as often as I eat breakfast.

But there is another standard to which we’re called.

The Fight is a 30 day devotional journey for Christian guys that tackles the issues of pornography, sexual purity and pursuing a passionate and dynamic friendship with God. The Fight contains 2.5 hours of inspirational and biblical teaching and testimonies on DVD, that will equip you with strategies and tools for:

RENEWING THE MIND,
USING GOD’S WORD AS A WEAPON,
BUILDING ACCOUNTABLE RELATIONSHIPS,
BREAKING AND REPLACING DESTRUCTIVE HABITS/ADDICTIONS,
GROWING IN PASSIONATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,
AND MUCH MORE.”
