No Woman No Cry

As of today, i officially have a new room mate..Lawrence Kasherman! oh boy, i'm anticipating lotsa male testosterone and boyish fun..muahahaha..i acknowledge, my long months living in isolation from the rest of humanity have left me more than a bit looney..so a little bit of company sure is welcome..

and friends, you know whats the theme song of tonite? you guessed it, No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley..just us 2 boys and no women in our lives..(but who knows..my roomie might turn up attached suddenly and unexpectedly ;) No, Not to me of course, you bumbling foolish dumb bells!

Jokes and teasing aside..i felt Refreshed with a capital R at Unichurch service again..Pete Witt, a Bible translator to Vanuatu spoke from Colossians 3:18-4:1..about christian relationships; wives, husbands, children, parents, slaves, masters. There was of course the usual exegesis about what to do when you get married and Guide to Choosing a Right Life Partner According to Australian Christianity..you're talking to a Realist when it comes to relationships so don't be so shocked..but i think Pete made a good argument from scripture which is Honest and i accept it as what God wants for us.. however, you gotta factor in human attraction and desires (sinful and holy)

after the service Joyce, Jamie and Jono(myself) aka the J-Team (ok i made that up) met Catherina Weiss, a Deutshfrau from Deutschland who's on a study abroad scheme in Australia for a year..i guessed that she was from Europe and either France, Germany or the Czech Republic (which is a pretty darn big area actually; and if i'd been firing nuclear missiles i'd absolutely fail to hit the target) before finally being let in on the secret of her origin..so there, if she does join FOCUS regularly, i can practice my little Deutsch with Frau Caterina..and i would be doing Fraulein Maria, who taught me ein bischen Deutsch when i was 16, after my O'Levels proud! at the very least, i can try and failing which, respond, 'Keine Ahnung' or 'ich spracken ein bischen Deutsch' ....at least my German is better than my Japanese that i did for 1 sem in Year 2 and still have no clue how to say hullo, my name is Jono, how are ya? in...

alrightie..enough clowning around..gotta sleep early to go for Wintercon at Galston Gorge, Sydney tomorrow..am looking forward to Martin's Talks and Dene's Foundations Series and relishing the opportunity to ask all my thorny Pre-destination and the Sovereignty of God questions that i've been holding for a year now..feels like first year Wintercon all over again..landing in an unknown area with unknown people hot and suited up, ready for a fight..GPMG loaded and cocked, bayonet de-rusted, oiled and ready for fixing to my trusty M1A1 carbine...2 waterbottles in SBO filled..Board the Chopper!
