South West Rocks SUFM

January 2, 2012

This past week, for the 10th year running, I joined up with the Scripture Union Family Mission team at South West Rocks for an awesome week running games and activities and talking about Jesus with local kids and their families.

A few highlights:

Such a great week. Love this town so much. And only 51 weeks until we get to do it all again!

Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2011

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.” – John 3:16-17 (MSG)

Merry Christmas, guys! Hope it’s a great one!

Creepy

December 6, 2011

“A little girl asked me at my last school visit, “Mr. Peterson, why are your books so creepy?” It’s a good question. My answer to her: “Isn’t life creepy sometimes? Aren’t you ever scared when the lights go out? Have you ever heard your parents talk about bad things happening in the world?” She and all the other kids nodded gravely. The room got quiet. The story wouldn’t ring true if it was all light and no shadow. Of all people, children know the world is broken. Sometimes I wonder if they see it better than grownups because they’re young enough yet to see the goodness for how good it really is.”

Music Monday: Andrew Belle, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

I usually hate this song, but I really like this rendition:

Hope

December 1, 2011

“I write these words with a profound sense of my weakness, but an imagination flooded now with the ringing of bells and the rustle of bright wings. The gospel gives me hope, and hope is not a language the dark voices understand.”

- Andrew Peterson
