My motto:
Remember the Alamo
There is a flag flying high...
In the old days (the really old ones ... even before I was born) when the king of any given land was at any certain place, the royal flag was flown to let the local peeps know that royalty was present. Everyone in the area knew that the King was in when the flag was raised high.
When I went to visit Larnach Castle in bonny wee Dunedin, this reminded me of yon olde days of mine childhood.
As a kid I grew up singing a song about this idea. You may know the catchy tune. Everybody together now!

There is a flag flying high in the castle of my heart, in the castle of my heart, in the castle of my heart! There is a flag flying high in the castle of my heart for The King is in residence there!
So let it fly in the sky let the whole world know, let the whole world know! So let it fly in the sky let the whole world know that The King is in residence there!
So let it fly in the sky let the whole world know, let the whole world know! So let it fly in the sky let the whole world know that The King is in residence there!
If God is taking up residence in me, in my life, then the 'flag' of His kingdom will be waving around for anyone to see. Sometimes the flag will be respected, sometimes rejected, sometimes questioned and sometimes people will get angry that God's flag is being waved anywhere near them. Sometimes people will be so busy shuffling by with their noses tucked into their iPods that they will completely miss the flag.
The flag of God waving about is evident. Just like a flag held high on a pole for everyone to see, the behavior of a person who has God living in their lives will be evident!
I hope that today, even just today, I can honestly say that there is a flag flying high in my life and that The King is truly in residence here!

The Best Coffee Joint on Two Wheels
Found this little trailer on the Otago Peninsula that has been made into a mobile coffee shop. Has to be the best one in the whole world. This is their logo.
The espresso bar is called "Coffee Pirates"
The espresso bar is called "Coffee Pirates"And the owner/coffee maker extraordinaire even posed for me. See? Pirates are good folk!*
* it is noted by the author that pirates really did/do kill, steal,maim and otherwise make a general pain of themselves and the only ones i really enjoy are the ones who make coffee and who make me laugh. so as noted this guy at the two wheeled cart? I'm a big fan!Soaked and reeking
The story is told of a group of men who, during the Black Plague of the 1700's, would enter the homes of the dead and dying and remove all the valuables. These men became quite rich and none of them died from the plague. Since the devastating effects of the plague were decimating the population of Europe, when the police gained the courage to arrest these men, they were astonished to find them all healthy.
To discover why these men had survived while being surrounded by plague infested bodies, the police struck a bargain. If the men would tell how they had survived, the police would let them go and allow them to keep what they had stolen so long as they stopped thieving from then on.
The men told the police that they had one thing that kept them from dying.
Garlic. Heaps and heaps of garlic. Not only would these men consume large amounts of garlic, but they would boil garlic and make a huge pot of garlic stew and then would soak their clothing in this pot for about two weeks. Not once were any of the men harmed by the plague.
This got me to thinking. These men were completely saturated with garlic. They ate it. They were covered in it. They would have been powerfully stinky.
Today we are surrounded by a plague. People all around us are dropping dead and dying. We are living on a planet filled with sin - a truly deadly disease. And we have one thing that saves us. When we are covered in Jesus, inside and out, we are able to walk in this world without being harmed. Jesus alone saves us in the midst of darkness, turmoil and death. Each of us has the chance to be coated in Jesus.
When someone coated in garlic walks by, you are going to notice. Your nose would not let you miss them! Same is true when someone soaked in Jesus enters your life! You cannot help but notice that something is different! They are there is front of you and they live with a joy the darkness of the world cannot take away. They reek of Jesus!
On this earth we don't escape death but we don't have to die forever! Jesus gives us all the chance to be saturated with Him, to be washed clean of sin and to be saved from its effects for eternity.
Get soaked in Jesus today! Allow Him to live in you and to surround you, to lead you in all that you do. Be soaked and reeking.

Binder of Books
In the wonderful town of Oamaru is a fabulous section of town that is the remains of the historic shipping port that Oamaru used to house. The buildings are built in fantastic local limestone and have carved window ledges and moldings all around.
My favorite shop is a book bindery. I can hardly afford the wonderful handmade journals, but enjoy the high spirited chatter and am fascinated by the artistry that goes into making a book by hand.
And just down the street from the bindery is the best bookstore in Oamaru. Slightly Foxed is full of old and new books, all looking for a new home. Since I have a penchant for owning too many books, I cannot go often.
It is the smell of books, the wonder of being carried around the world (and beyond!) without leaving my chair all combined with the wonder of a well crafted word that will drag me time and again into all of the bookstores I find.

Eggs in the sand
In 2007 I was able to go to Jordan on an archeological dig. While mucking about in the sand, our team came upon an egg buried about a foot under the soil. We were warned very sternly not to crack it open and then told it was of no significance for archeology as it was most likely someones breakfast from 10 or so years ago. The rights for our musical "The Ostricon and the Egg" are still pending.
And then we found a batch of snake eggs buried in the sand near a stone wall we were excavating. We were all quite happy that none of them hatched and were not tempted in any way to crack them open.
Well this week the streak of finding eggs in the sand continued. Whilst on a walk on the beach with a bunch of friends, one of our group found an egg half buried in the dune. Jacob was quite happy with his find and we all oohed and ogled at the right times.

And then we sternly admonished him to NOT crack the egg open.
Somewhere, on beach in Oamaru, there is a half buried egg still resting -uncracked- in the dunes.

Pumpkin soup is a huge staple in the diet of many Kiwi's and our house is no exception!
Delicious bowls of pumpkin soup abound and with a pumpkin sitting on our counter ready to be made into a culinary wonder, we found a huge pile of seeds left over.
What to do with that many seeds?
We baked 'em.
Want to join in the seed eating fun?
Get a pumpkin, scoop out the seeds and rinse off the pumpkin guts.
Heat your oven to 180 degrees (Celcius) and bake the seeds f0r about 20 minutes.
Add a touch of salt.
Enjoy!

Wanted for Murder
Elizabeth and I came home to the scene of a gruesome crime on Sunday afternoon.
As we entered the back door of our house we saw the evidence of a struggle all down the long hall way, in the bathroom and even the kitchen. The carpet was covered in evidence.
We are now on the hunt for a murderer who has been seen in and around the 2nd block of Fernbrook Rd.
We think he looks like this.
If you see this murderous creature, please warn the authorities.
It is noted that he has a penchant for killing small feather covered creatures.
