Rob Loblaw Blog
This blog is such a spank because I'm about to talk about myself yet again.
I just wanted to apologise to anyone who may have had to experience the prickly, mean, cynical, bossy biatch that I've been over the last bit. I must be emotionally immature or something, because that seems to be the way I deal with bad things happening to me; I don't want to mope, I want to be strong, and unfortunately that "strength" manifests itself as taking control, and not letting myself be vulnerable. I've prayed about this, that God will transform into someone who is kind and gentle with others.
If you haven't noticed that I've been like this, its probably because I hold myself up to a very high standard, so I'm painfully aware when I don't reach it.
In other news, we just had the Crossroads weekend away. Hopefully Mike or Jonny will post pics, because, while I brought my Gamera, I didn't take any photos. Mainly because social interation and photographing are two mutually exclusive kinds of interaction, and I opted for the former. Anyways, the "weekend away" was a good church family time. I think there was good bonding and mutual encouragment, and I came away thinking "I'd like to get to know X and Y and Z better". The talks were good too, with Mikey and Jake delivering powerful sermons on Revelation and Proverbs. And the church all prayed together, and it was good to see, through that, God raising up people who share his desires.

That's what blogging is 90% about...

Jane, I think that's what it is. In America, there's a certain "freedom"; to access that part of one's personality that is confident, loud, cynical, cool and assertive. Because everyone else is. Now I'm trying to relearn that elusive Aussie way of relating.

I can honestly say I haven't noticed. Except maybe for the cynical bit, but I think you can be forgiven on that count :)
Also
while I brought my Gamera, I didn't take any photos
I love Gamera as an alternative to camera.

That would be awesome, Jane. Thanks.
So you're coming to Hobart? Great! Would you like to hang out? Will you be going to Crossroads?
