// Coming Up to Breathe //

I'm finally 'home' and have a decent few hours to think and breathe. It's been a hectic few weeks with parish work, visiting the sick, attempting to write some new songs, and travelling: I drove over 2,000Km's this week alone...

I will be working on four major projects this year and the long drives have given me the space to think them out. From a new album (and all that it entails - CD design, new website, recording, songwriting, etc) to planning and writing my academic thesis, to planning my ordination to the Priesthood and preparing for Stronger Camp 2010.

It's going to be a good, good year!

Kerang Update...

I am writing this post from a small coffee shop, in the little country town of Kerang where I have been posted for 6 weeks. One month has passed and I am just loving this place... A town of 3,000 or so people (Catholics being about 25%).

Most of my time here is spent preparing homilies, preaching, visiting schools, singing, visiting the sick, preparing couples for marriage, weddings and baptisms... as well as a fair share of cooking (which was all delightful until I tried to cook rabbit)! I'm also required to do a decent amount of travelling, as I also preach at two other churches 60km's away from Kerang, so I average 200k's every weekend!

Anyway, life and ministry has been good here in Kerang... It has certainly shown me that I do not need a big city to be happy... All I need is people and to continually rely on God's grace!

Blessings!!
