To summarise the news as I saw it today: Andrew Johns swore (how many times must we go over this story?); the murderer of JonBenet Ramsay fessed up; and we are debating whether or not to include 3 more 'planets' in our solar system (or for that matter, discussing what exactly is a planet!)
I know these are all important issues (I remember feeling quite sad about the JonBenet murder when I first heard about it in '96), but I guess that the news will always reports murders... there will always be new planets to discover...and our sporting heroes will always swear.
The news is so mundane. Last Friday the front cover of the Sydney Morning Herald reported that our Olympic champion Thorpie had become a little fat. Really people, is this the most interesting news to report on?
The news might appear mundane lately, but the reality of life is this...we will ALL stand before the judgement seat of Christ. And only those washed in the blood of the Lamb will be found holy, blameless, and free from accusation. So are you in? Is this what occupies your thinking?
So tell me what matters. News never changes. Its always the same old same old. But Judgement Day changes everything. Maybe I've been spending too much time in Ecclesiastes lately. Maybe its late. Or maybe some things just get more sharply focused late at night...

Yes, very true, but this is the world we live in - very shortsighted. A good reminder to keep praying, to keep believing the truth, to keep preaching it, living it, sharing it with whoever we can. How privileged we are to know the truth, to know God's plan for his world, to know where it is all headed, to know what life is all about. Stand firm and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, for he is the news yesterday, today and forever.
I think relationships are what matter! With God, with family, with friends and with those who have yet to know a relationship with God.
Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless..... except Jesus! I fear that Jesus will return before the SMH puts this news on the front page. Thanks Dave! Now get some sleep! ;-)
