"No one is blind in heaven..."

That's the quote of the evening, from Maxine McKew, who at this point looks like she might take the federal seat of Bennelong, making John Howard only the second serving Prime Minister to lose his seat in an election. Yikes. The quote comes from a 90 year old blind nun in McKew's electorate. Not a great deal of context was given as McKew recalled the very true words of hope from the elderly woman; they were part of a speech where McKew related some of her personal highlights from the campaign. But it was a nice reminder of the 'second kingdom' of which we are a part.

It's been a while since posting but I blame the following things:

- A new girlfriend (Jasmine herself says "I've replaced the blog! I've replaced the blog!");
- Facebook;
- College exams;
- Martin Luther (on whom I was writing a project/thesis thing).

So now that I have finished that enormous trial of mental endurance and godliness which is Moore Theological College, what am I going to do? Get back to blogging of course. Issues to write about include:

1. Some things which were stimulated by the hundreds and hundreds of pages of Luther which I read over the last 4 months;
2. Some thoughts on singleness which were actually stirred by some ethics lectures we had at college last year;
3. Some stuff on my College experience;
4. A theology of happiness (what the heck was I thinking? Goodness me...)

But its been a while, so I might still be talkin', but is anyone listnin'?
