We had a great day today. First we went to see Dr Jonathan Sarfati present information on Creation Science. He presented some very good deconstructions of evolutionist positions on things like the Grand Canyon, the fossil record and cell design.

Following that we hung out with the Lehtonens for lunch at our place for a while. Later in the afternoon (after a nap) I took the kids up to the park for a play. Mercedes gets so excited about bugs. I showed her a little bug that was crawling along the grass and she watched entranced as it got to the top of a grass stem - balancing akwardly - and then eventually launched up and flew away - "Bye Bye Bug" she said.

My next job was mopping the floors! 

Home group and a shared meal for dinner. Our pastor came tonight and we looked closely at Ephesians chapter 5 and the roles of husband and wife in marriage.

I can't remember the last Saturday I didn't work. Today I have barely touched a computer. Other than checking email once and playing one game of Texas hold 'em poker (while having an afternoon nap) and blogging this that is!

I am just sitting at the table in the dining room watching the kids play outside. It has been raining and they are playing on the back patio, pouring water on each others heads, sliding on the slick concrete and joyously enjoying life.

As I lazily sipped on water, and typed on the wirelessly connected laptop there was the distant sound of thunder, the laughter of the kids, the music playing from the media room and the sound of the rain on the patio roof. Now Jude is home I am anticipating the smell of ribs cooking to soon be filling the living area.

Out on the patio the kids plants, lettuces and tomatoes and some flowers, have all been watered enthusiastically by the junior gardeners with their watering cans.

The Australian Federal Election looms tomorrow. There has been lots of interesting political action leading up to this election in recent months. Most of it however is a "pull the wool over the eyes" of the ignorant voting population, most of whom don't read (to understand) and don't realise the deep down implications of voting for one party over another.

The Evangelical Alliance website has some very well thought out and written articles about all different aspects of the coming election and politics in general.

Took a fun break from my computer yesterday for 15 minutes or so. The girls have been learning belly dancing at Girls Brigade, and of course Jude has learnt it before, so the girls strapped on the jangly stuff and did a dance. I got my Egyptian drum out and provided the beats while the girls went through their shimmying and shaking. Great stuff!
