My Postcard Home in ‘The Bugle’

Our local newspaper ‘The Bugle’ has a nice little column on the back page of every fortnightly edition which provides residents with a way to share about a recent journey overseas.

I took the opportunity to share about our recent trip to Jerusalem, in which I speak of the significance of walking in the same place where God, himself, trod.

It was an amazing experience to have this geographical connection with the places I’ve read about all my life in the Bible, and it’s a joy to share this with the many people who live around the area of my church.

Back from holidays

I just returned from over two weeks away on holidays in Canberra and at Callala Beach (Jervis Bay). It was a very relaxing time away with the family doing very, very little (a stark contrast to normal life!)

We spent the first four days at Canberra, doing every tourist ‘thing’ we could fit in to our schedule: Parliament House, Questacon, National Museum, Telstra Tower, Australian Institute of Sport, Cockington Gardens, Planetarium, and more! It was great to get ‘distracted’ by the destination!

The remaining ten days were spent at Callala Beach, on Jervis Bay, near Nowra. Lots of time doing very little. In fact, the most ‘productive’ activity was sorting 5,000 digital photos on my hard disk, and culling it down to 2,000. From that, we selected 300 which we then printed on paper. Quite an effort–especially considering I tweaked all the photos in Photoshop first (levels, dodge and burn, and even some desaturations into B&W).

I returned to face 400 emails, but got them down to 100 quickly. Spent a day answering them, and now I’m back on track, but feeling a bit exhausted. Maybe it’s time for another holiday…!
