I have a confession to make… I, Burton, think The Sound Of Music rocks!
…And that would make me cool (because we all know that anyone into retro stuff is rather hip). Another, even more shocking confession… We even own two copies of the DVD ( original and special anniversary edition).
I do believe a Sound Of Music revival is coming to [...]

I was enduring the trailer of Hellboy 2 recently when I saw the disturbing images of a creature with eyes on its wings (on the trailer that is, not in real life . My mind immediately thought about the Bible’s description of heavenly creatures in Revelation Chapter 4…
In the center and around the throne were four living beings, each [...]

Anyone in their 30’s and older will remember well the Flintstones. The cartoon was one of my all-time favourites and I reminisce (with nostalgic happiness) the 80’s when the show screened every school day around 4pm. Any cultured kidult will know that the Flintstones equal retro cartoonsville at its very best. I even named my cat ‘Barney’ in honour of [...]

A reasonable mortgage, four kids, one dog… bills. Sometimes it’s a challenge to make ends meet… but God is always faithful, and it’s nothing short of supernatural how He meets our needs (and the occasional want).

This morning I stumbled upon a very interesting website called: http://www.globalrichlist.com/.
The site calculates your rank in the world’s ‘rich-list’. Suffice to say that we are [...]

My best welt, shot by Isaac pointblank in the ribs… yes that is bruising.
Two church teams, 20 guys, one paintball field, 2 hours of carnage, Goodtimes! Sadly my team (CRF Central) were defeated by Shaun’ team (Bream Bay CRF).
A couple of comments. Shaun, you got lucky this time buddy. Isaac, you are a marked man my friend. Rhys, [...]

Big Ace

or

Sheik Grinder

They have a certain ring to them, don’t you think? Click here to discover your wrestling name (and post it in [...]

I had never ever heard of the name Tunguska before… until I bought a PC game (for the kids) called Secret files: Tunguska. Then I became enlightened to an extremely fascinating and equally mysterious event which occurred 101 years ago in Central Siberia.
In the Tunguska region at 7:17am on 30 June 1908 something of apocalyptic proportions occurred. This ‘happening’ flattened [...]

Narnia our ADHD Whippet puppy has been a part of our family for almost a month.
Being the bookworm/research nut that I am, I made sure I was prepared for Narnia’s arrival by scouring as much material on puppies as I could.
What the ‘Your First Puppy’ books didn’t tell me…
Whippet puppies are unbelievably energetic. They seem to have two speeds: [...]

It’s our wedding anniversary today. I was scrummaging through my shed this morning (as you do on your wedding anniversary) and found my Best Man’s wedding speech. Wayne, you did a legendary job with this, and it still makes me crack up thirteen years later!

So for a window into our life almost a decade and a half ago, read on…

Ode [...]

It was a fateful night in 1997 when the Aetherius Society came to town to promote their religion. For those who don’t know what the Aetherius Society is (I’m guessing about 99.9% of the people reading this post), it is a UFO cult.
I was a zealous (and somewhat tactless) Bible College student at the time, and had just finished writing [...]
