What to believe

15 February 2007 by kristarella

Sometimes I feel in despair because I’m not sure what to believe. It seems that I get mixed messages from people I want to believe. From one party I hear that the Bible is plain and can be understood, from another I hear that Genesis would have been plain if I were a 1500BC Hebrew, […]

Rest of the weekend

5 February 2007 by kristarella

Sunday night was fairly weird. We walked in the door at church and I was welcomed by Scott asking me whether I’d received an email about doing the bible reading this week. The new roster was done last week but not sent to anybody. So that was a slightly annoying start to the evening, it’s […]

God exists

20 November 2006 by kristarella

On Friday night at Fully SIC we looked at James 2:14-26. I love some parts of this passage, they are just such a slap in the face – sometimes to me, sometimes to others. Especially this bit: 18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
