OH WOW, Another Post. and you all thought that you would never see another one! Yes you thought it was "a passing phase" but no I am making a come back....(we will see how long this lasts!!!)
On a more serious note,
I was thinking a while back about what it means in this verse "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered". I particularly want to focus on the "dwell with them (your wife) according to knowledge"...What does it mean to do this? I have heard a few different things from different people over the past few months..
I think that it must mean something more than we often first take it to mean. If you look at the first 6 verses before the one I am talking about; it focuses on the wife, and the husbands only have this 1 verse..So I think that to begin with it must mean that it is something REALLY IMPORTANT. I don't have the complete answer to my question but it is something that has been on my mind for a while now..oh and if you think that you have an answer to the question it would be great to hear from you!
Well I am signing off, catch you next time....

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all! I kow it is a little late, but better late than never...
Beth and I were looking over some of our highlights from last year. It is amazing how God provides and when you look back it ironically feels like there is a bigger plan and purpose being set before us.. ;)
Some of the highlights are as follows.
> I started a new job at the beginning of the year
> We had the birth of our first child, Joshua
> We bought our first house
> We found out we were expecting our second Child
And of course there was alot of other 'smaller' (well looking back they seem smaller!) things that happened in between it all.
We hope that you all have a blessed New Year, and that you will look to the Lord in everything that you do and you will become closer to him this year than you have before..

Another Post!
Well I have finally got around to writing another post...Quite a lot has happened since I last wrote. just to name a few things; We have moved house, we have been to a friends wedding in Victoria, and We are expecting another Baby! (Praise the Lord!)
I heard this verse at church on Sunday and I realy liked it. And I also mean it for myself, and my Household:
'Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house WE WILL(my emphasis) serve the Lord.' Joshua 24:14-15
I think that they are very thought provoking few verses. It sounds to me like I am lining up for battle, and I have to pick a side to be on..there isn't a huge choice, just two. God's side or the other (Satan has many angles from which he tries to draw his 'army' from). Which side will you choose??
Have a great day,
Joel

Another page in Life
I now have a blog! It might be a passing phase...
Hi, I am not a great one to put my thoughts etc onto paper and I am quite busy so I might not be updating this very regularly!
That being said, there are three main reasons for me doing a blog. The first is I would like to try and give God the glory due Him. And to share some of His Truths that I have learnt (and still are learning). The second is because my Beautiful Wife has a blog! And thirdly I hope to be an encouragement to people who might visit my blog.
