Happy Christmas!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:1-5, 14).

May the Light that shines in the darkness shine on you this Christmas.

Apparently Dazza is good for kids after all

Finally a ‘good news’ story about Dazz’s influence on children: We had an email this week from friends in Turkey. They were having tacos and little Mr Grade 1, who does not normally eat lettuce, asked for lettuce on his taco. When questioned by his surprised mother he replied that he had lettuce on his taco with Uncle Dazza and it gave it a good crunch! This may not make up for all of the bad influences that have occurred over many years, but at least there’s one family in the world that doesn’t think Dazza’s bad for kids!

A distant memory...

We've been back teaching at uni for two weeks now, and our time at the beach is fast becoming a distant memory. We're enjoying the students, and the air conditioning, but it's hard to beat life on the road. Here's a few more pics from our time at the beach to keep the memory alive.
