I love our music team! We all have the same passion and desire and it's such a blessing to share music with these wonderful guys on a Sunday night.

These photos were taken at a friend's wedding last month - hence the suits ;-)

(part of) the St Pete's Music Team

left to right back: lovely girls, Caroline, Danika and Frances. They can't sing but they've got soul? No!!! They CAN sing ;-) front: Brent (does he *look* like a trumpet player?), Amy (she's just the everything wonder woman!) Adam (yay man guitar man!), Greg (feral sound man, esq), I go without saying;-), and Micky (the fab dummer boy).

and well... sometimes we just get stressed.

The Discards site is up for all the world to see.

Check it out, and have a listen to their demos - sweet indeed!

By the way, Mick is my little brother. :-)

Group with Jane and Paul Here we are! L-R back: Jane (dance teacher), Michael, Paul (he played piano for us), Alana, Tom and Brad. Front: Bede, Celine, Alex and me.

Here's a plug for what has to be this country's best a capella group ever: The Idea of North!

Check them out! Get to one of their shows. Attend a workshop. Or at least buy a cd! I can assure you that you wont be dissapointed. We saw them at Blackstump last year, and at the beginning of this week Mum and I were privileged to watch them perform once again (and do a workshop too!). They are just: amazing.

Especially recommended is their newest cd: The Gospel Project. It's a great mix of traditional and contempory, and though as a whole it's a fairly serious album, I'm pleased to say that the band haven't completely suceeded in hiding their hilarious sense of wackiness :-)

I've been really inspired by some of katiefoolery's creative writing pieces she's been posting on her blog lately, and after months of practically no writing whatsoever (apart from letters and journalling) I sat down today - and I wrote some! I found this site: www.creativewritingpromts.com, and one of the writing promts said to start a short piece of writing with the phrase that I used to begin my story.
I spent about twenty moniutes writing and then a few extras editing. Please tell me your thoughts - I'd love some feedback! By the way, I'm not sure myself what it's about but I find it rather exciting nonetheless :-)

LOVE, CRUEL and WILD.

“They had nothing to say to each other?”

“Nothing, ma’am. I’m sorry! I did all that I could do.”

All that I could do. And I had ruined myself, and the two of them because of it. Unintentional harm must hurt more than any deliberate grievance ever could. And I – the instigator of it all!

The young man who had just left the building was dark, and as he began to run his ragged hair and his jacket blew wild - far far away from all that he had just encountered. Far away from the screaming woman at the bottom of the stairwell; from the couple who could do no more than stare mutely at one another. So much more should have happened in that conference – but silence! All he was rewarded with was silence.

It had been over twelve months since they had met last – on the sand by the wild water that blustery September day. Good intentions had only ended in evil results... love had turned sour. And not even words were able to heal the hurt that had been wrought by that September day.

Alex sent me the link last night to reason's newest recordings. They led all the worship at the Mid Year Conference in the Blue Mountains this year and recorded some of their own tracks plus a few other favourites live. Definitely worth a listen (or a few)!!

Do you think I'm silly for starting a new LJ?

Is Joe mean for mocking my love of Il Divo?

Tell me something! (But only nice things.)

Are you jealous of me cause I'm seeing U2 next month?

Was this a silly poll?

And one more. Should I have spelt my user name bizzy_liz?
