It's been a while since I posted anything original. the truth is, I have been busy and have lost a passion for reading and posting blogs. I haven't lost my interest in the global subject matter, but when I come home from work I just want to relax and switch off. I haven't even been reading books.
It's Sunday arvo and I am preparing a presentation that I will deliver to a large group of colleagues this Friday. The topic is "A Personal Response to the Issue of Poverty". It is part of my companies 'Continuously Grow and Improve Campaign'. I usually have alot to say about this issue, but even now I am drawing blanks. I seem to have lost my creative streak. The aim of my presentation is to encourage people to find a cause and get involved in the effort to alleviate poverty. For some that could mean Child Sponsorship, for others it could mean Ethics in Business, and for others still, it could mean making better consumer choices. If any reader has some input, please e-mail me.
On Church. I went to Catholic mass this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a full choir and much of the mass was sung by the Priest. I have been studying the Catholic faith recently and it was refreshing to approach the Eucharist with new understanding. One of the highlights of the mass for me was when the choir (approximately 50 people) sung the Apostles Creed in Latin. Beautiful.
Work is going well. I have hit a dry patch in my current project and am looking forward to its completion so that I can move onto bigger and better things. My patience and endurace is being tested daily. There are lots of good opportunities to imitate Christ that I seem to be passing up. I have just reminded myself to try better tomorrow.
A couple of good friends are currently applying for Visas to move to Perth from Indonesia for work. I look forward to having them here.
Other than that, nothing much else is happening. I'll post an update if there anything.
