The term "She's Apples" is Australian slang for "everything will be all right" That describes my view on life as I seek to be an authentic follower of Jesus. I can trust that no matter what life might throw at me, I can be confident that everything will be all right.

What I'm Watching
I've got really hooked on The Catherine Tate show lately. I caught the last half of series two on the ABC Wenesday nights and then bought the DVD a few weeks back. It's a bit rude in some places (as all good British humour can be) but it had me ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing). It is disappointing that there is a bit of language because the sketches would be just as funny without it. We had our good frineds Colin and Ruth Harrison staying with us for a couple of nights and we showed them an episode - then we had to watch all six. They went out and bought the DVD the next day. A few classic lines - "Am I bovvered", "You will not believe this", "Take the shame though", "Is it though" and "The Liberty" Here is a classic "Lauren" sketch (search youtube for more)
The last British comedy DVD I bought was Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge. Played by Steve Coogan, Partridge is an inept TV personality and chat show host.
I've lived my whole life in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. I grew up on a 60 acre apple orchard and attended The Basin Primary School and Boronia High School. I left after Year 11 (aged 16) and worked on the family farm for one year then with the National Bank for 3 years before completing a BTh at Kingsley College. After a number of part-time pastoral positions I was involved in a church plant in Healesville and pastored there for 6 years. While I was there I completed a Master of Arts (Theology) at the Bible College of Victoria. I married Annette (McLauchlan) in 1993. We have three fantastic kids: Kate, Matthew and Thomas. I am currently Principal of Kingsley College and I'm completing a Doctor of Ministry as well as being a part of a new missional church plant called Mimos.

Here's a clip where he attempts to sing.
