Heath Ledger vs Westborough Baptist Church

Like most Australians, it was shocking and sad for me to hear the news of Heath Ledger's death. Even worse was the revelation that a so-called Christian minister from the US, Fred Phelps (who gives himself the title, Reverend) planned to gather members of his "church", Westborough Baptist Church, and stage a hateful protest at his funeral in Perth. They planned to preach against his appearance as a gay cowboy in the film, Brokeback Mountain. The location of the funeral was not disclosed to the public, prompting WBC to hound Ledger's family with a letter (displayed on their website, www.godhatesfags.com) in hope that they could travel to demonstrate.

Please Eggsplain?!

I see the chocolate eggs have already appeared in the supermarkets at over-inflated prices, heralding the beginning of the Easter profiteering period for the confectionery companies...
As a former Hobartian, it was rare for 3 months to go past without a tour of Cadbury's Claremont factory. You got to pig out on free samples along the way as the nice tour guide lady went on about how good the company is. And at the end of the tour there was the seconds shop where you could stock up on enough reject product for the next 3 months! Spent many happy times there...
Can't bring myself to buy the stuff now. And reading this confirms it.
Would be sweet to see the Chaser's or some crazy Salvo sneak a camera on one of those tours and ask those nice tour guide ladies where they get their cocoa from, non-stop for the entire tour!
It really does make you sick. But how do we inform the rest of Australia and make the rest of the nation equally ill???

Consulting the Oracle

It seems when God wakes us up from a period of being spiritually asleep, we become ever more aware of his voice and direction in our life. This has been the case for me over the last few days. When the same verse or topic pops up multiple times in the same day, you know it's God, not coincidence. I find I'm hearing the same themes come up in conversations with very different people. I'm reading the same verses that are popping up from different sources. The topics that seem to be on my heart the most are being confirmed as I read other Salvo blogs.
James 3:18 (MSG)
18 You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.

Small things with great love

"In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love" - Mother Teresa
20 My old self has been crucified with Christ.[a] It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 (New Living Translation)
Cheers - Nath
Baby on Board!

Greetings, I am proud to open Ranting Radspank with a topic which has left me befuddled for quite some time...
