Creative Academy I: It All Begins Again...

Just like the last one bro's, I'll be keeping tabs on my progress as far as the Creative Academy @ !Audacious Church goes, so you can bank on there being updates every Thursday/Friday for the next eight weeks!

I'm jumping the fence this time and aligning myself with fellow electric guitarists, being suitably gifted enough to be able to play either acoustic or electric guitar just as effectively...

What's Your Motive - Check Yourself, Bro!

Whassup!

I read this yesterday in my devotionals from Chuck Swindoll of Insight For Living and found it really inspirational, have a read bro's...

During my days in seminary, I formed a habit that helped me immensely throughout life. I had my artistic sister, Luci, print a simple, three-word question on a small rectangular card I placed on the wall above the desk where I spent so much of my time.

Just black letters on a white card, with a bold question mark at the end:

WHAT'S YOUR MOTIVE?

I no longer have the card, but the question is now indelibly etched on my mind. I ask it almost every day of my life. It has proven to be an essential checkpoint I now apply on a regular basis:

Why are you planning this?
What's the reason behind your doing that?
Why did you say yes (or no)?
What is the motive for writing that letter?
Why are you excited over this opportunity?
What causes you to bring up that subject?
Why did you mention his or her name?
What's your motive, Swindoll?

Searching, probing, penetrating questions.

Because the path of servanthood is so perilous, we need to cultivate a sensitive walk with God marked by obedience.

The reason? Well it's simple; because we should all be asking ourselves the very same question: - 

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE, BRO???

For some it's fame, others it's glory and honour, but for me, it goes without saying that I am to make the Name of God famous wherever I go and whatever I do... simples!

Peace out!

Seventeen Days Later...

Whoa, has it really been seventeen days since my last post?

This reminds me of a trend in my journal of some years now, where I won't necessary feel the obligation to write about what's going on in my life as much as I used to...

Has Call of Duty Lost The Way?

Wow...

I've just seen the reveal trailer for the new Call of Duty game.

What can I say that I haven't already said before?

God is Limitless & Anecdotes Abound...

Whassup, peeps!

I'm looking forward to writing this blog entry because it comes on the back of the most awesome week I've been having and I want to share some of it with you all...

Finally... An Update!

Wahey!

It's been longer than I would have liked, what with my laptop dying from an unfortunate spillage incident and all, to update everyone on what's going on at the moment.

Last night it was our Easter production at !Audacious Church and what a phenomenal event it was, taking a look once again at the Easter story, especially from differing perspectives and how the events that played out some two thousand-odd years ago had a life changing impact for everyone.

It was the one event that changed the past, present and future for everyone that was ever born, is being born today and will continue to for the years to come!

Happy belated Resurrection Day everyone and a more in-depth posting I will make this week!

Peace out!

Laptop Dead - Stand By For Sporadic Updates...

Man this is weak and it's also lame! :(

Last Friday my laptop died after a minor incident involving a spillage (more on that to come) so I've been sans laptop until now though I'm loaning this from my dad, which means I'll have to give it him back real soon.

In the meantime, I'll be updating when and where I can via the library computers and this loaned laptop, so expect some delays for the foreseeable future whilst I work out the best solution for getting my laptop fixed.

Thank you for your patience, bro's! ;)

Peace out!

Brotherhood 2014 Part Seven - The Art of Making Pt V

Whoa!

Alright, come what may, I am finishing this review of all the stuff that I've garnered from Brotherhood 2014!

Brotherhood 2014 Part Six - The Art of Making Pt IV

Wow!

How awesome is this!

The only reason I've broken it down into six segments is that I started to realise that, as I have a lot to say usually, it is better that I chop it down into better sized chunks rather than have you trawl through pages after pages of seemingly endless text!

Don't say I never do anything for you, bro's!

Brotherhood 2014 Part Five - The Art of Making (Day Two) Pt III

Crikey!

So what have I covered so far?

My walk this past couple of years, from the downers to the uppers and now here I am basking in the afterglow of an awesome Brotherhood experience.

Let's see if we cannot finish this in one part, shall we?
