Stuff I have been up to...

I am sorry that there hasn't been much blogging of substance of late. No excuses, excuses are boring.

However, I haven't been idle.

I have been preaching some, at All Saints Petersham. I have been trying to do evangelistic sermons from the Sermon on the Mount.

Here's How to be really happy ;
and How to have a worry free life.
And How to get what you really need.

I have also been reading: David Malouf's new novel Ransom. I think Malouf is one of the best writers about the world of men that there is. This novel is pretty much the best thing I have read from him. His novels sometimes become rather twee: but not this one. Not for a second.
I have also been reading Steve Volz's A Fraction of the Whole. A sprawling comic epic of outlaws set in Australia. Marilynne Robinson's essays in The Death of Adam are amazing - including a stout defence of John Calvin from the usual Weberian cliches.

More to come: I am thinking about education, and more about Charles Taylor....
