Filled with Pride
So AJ and I have the world’s most wonderful PA / secretary / assistant / administrator / life manager. The smartest thing we did in ministry was hire Melissa. She basically runs the traveling (and other parts too!) section of our life, which if you can imagine for a second, is quite a massive undertaking. She organises all our trips, all the flights, the schedules, the hotel bookings, the...
The Air New Zealand Koru Club lounge rocks my world. Just finished filling out a survey to tell them so.

Trying to work out which spg.com promotion to choose.
Showing Lynley Allan Twitterrific (bet she’ll get hooked!)
Watching the Signs & Wonders conference at TACF while in New Zealand (see time differences _are_ handy!)
As a rule of thumb, the internet is as slow as a one legged dog here in New Zealand.

How'd I Get Here?
Every now and then I am acutely aware of what a surreal life I lead. Just now was one of those moments. I am answering email and I start replying to my friend Baldur from Iceland and we are talking about our up coming trip to teach a Prophetic School there. I was talking to him about what we are doing this weekend - teaching a Father’s Love seminar here in Auckland - and it dawns on me;...
Laughing with Lynlyey, Gary & Sarah
Off for a romantic night out with my wife. First stop IMAX viewing of The Dark Knight!
Abigail took her first steps today. For real! Video evidence comes later. For now I’m off to boast of the accomplishments of my daughter!
WatchCome fly with me (on the sketchiest plane you’ve ever been on).
On iTunes Album Art
I’m one of those people who shudder when I browse other people’s iTunes library and find all their tags all over the place. You know people have albums by Delirious, but they’ve entered some as Delirious, some as Delirious? and yet others as Delirious with such and such (or worse still the tags are missing…) I’ve lost count the number of iTunes libraries I’ve...
The thing I love about Stuart’s mum’s chocolate banana cake is that it’s one of my five a day - looking at it that way, it’s health food!
Results from this mornings research: peanut butter, fruit chutney and cheddar makes a great sandwich. Another taste sensation discovered.

Robinson Crusoe
So I’m on an island. A tiny little island off of New Zealand. Upon looking at Google Maps, I don’t think you can travel any more east on the planet, before you start hitting west… I am literally (as far as I can tell) on the furthest “edge” of the planet.
This island is amazing. If it helps, think of the Island from LOST but add a Scottish climate and...

And another thing - as a general rule, hotel WiFi sucks.
My happy thought for the day: The Air New Zealand Koru Club. Even though I am awake at 4am I know a place of comfort and great food awaits.
Dinner time with Stuart & Lynley Allan. You may all be jealous now.
Off to New Zealand today.
Woke up this morning with a spider on my face. Mmm, rural Australia…
Off to see Cirque du Soleil!
Genius
Would just like to point out that my 4 year old nephew is now doing Sudoku. I am a proud uncle.
True Story
Went upstairs to the lounge for some late night snacks. On the way back down in the lift, I forgot which room I was in.
Had to call the front desk but had no ID on me, so security had to meet me and walk me to my door to check I was who I said I was.
On the way we met AJ who’d figured I’d got lost and came looking for me. Nothing like hearing the security staff radio in,...
