I don't like Tony but. I didn’t vote for Tony Abbott. I’m not really a fan, but with this in mind there is something that’s got my goat. To do every day. I’ve seen friends talking about the end of the world, Facebook groups comparing the Abbott government to Nazi Germany. People from the North of Tasmania labeled as ignorant and stupid for voting conservatively. Firstly the tone of discussion is reduced to people shouting slogans at each other across the room. We no longer work towards consensus, rat...

Gay marriage. but I'd rather talk about Jesus. There are few issues that cause more debate and disagreement, hatred and misunderstanding. For this reason I’ve kept out of this debate for a long time. Below is my attempt to explain and clarify my own position for the benefit of others. I’m hoping that this is helpful and gets people thinking rather than adding to the bile of nasty commentary that pervades the Internet. Before we get started. Many nasty things have been said and done to gay. Perhaps who ar...

post supportMIKE: Doctor Pepper and the Non Sequitur
http://mikejolly.blogspot.com/2013/11/doctor-pepper-and-non-sequitur.html
Doctor Pepper and the Non Sequitur. I’m standing outside the locked classroom. I lift my can of drink to my mouth. The cold brushed aluminum can feels baby bottom smooth across my lips. The carbonated fizz makes my mouth tingle, almost burning the back of my throat. 8220;Why do you always drink Doctor Pepper? 8221; asks the greasy grade seven. 8220;Have you ever tried it? 8221; I counter. 8220;No I’ve never heard of it before”. 8220;It’s nice you should try it some time.”. Back to my Doctor Pepper. I...

It’s been a long time since I was in the habit of regularly writing. It’s certainly been a long time since I’ve written and published anything regularly maybe three years. A lot has changed in that time. The world has changed, communication has changed, the internet has changed, blogging has changed, and I have changed. The stupidity of Steven Conroy and the Daily Telegraph. See what I did there? If you disagree with my title, your mind has probably already skipped to thinking how much you disagree with ...

Church Together 2013 the reluctant review. There are two reasons if you’re a Christian why you won’t like this post. So I thought before I begin I’d try and address each of them. I believe that discernment plays an important part in being a healthy Christian. As I reflected on my experience at Church Together. It’s in this spirit and context that I want you to hear what I have to say. It’s ok to say a particular doctrine is wrong, it’s ok to disagree with other Christians, it’...This is what true toleran...

newtownlife: February 2009
http://newtownlife.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Dedicated to keeping you somewhat up to date on life in our new town, Newtown. Corny. I know. Friday, 27 February 2009. Cinderella, playing in the ashes. I think I'm in the groove of my college routine now. Long days, yes, but generally the early start is enjoyed reading a book in a nice spot (a café, Nick's place, Suds' place, a park). That's after a bike ride, of course. I think the discipline. I also love Baklava from just down the road. Thursday, 19 February 2009. Blog - a cool blog, which I've been ...
