After listening to my song of the month, Casting Crowns ‘Set me Free’, I saw a link to ‘Salvation is Here’ from Hillsong Kiev, Ukraine. It’s amazing seeing how music can transcend all boundaries and reach to all cultures and nationalities.

I heard this song during the Shekinah dance last night and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. Personally, I think it’s an amazing song and fitted the theme ‘Amazing Freedom’ last night.

Whilst being the productive student that I am, I was reading a particularly droll chapter about the application of the Trade Practices Act (1974). It all seemed routine until I read the section about who can be mislead for the Act to apply. I encountered this statement which just cracked me up. To the MSN nerds, I [...]
