Saw this optical illusion yesterday. and it is Really Freaky!!

Do we see what we think we see?

Do we have to see to believe?

The blocks “A” and “B” ARE the same shade, i checked!!

Ok, here’s my quote of the day! This was found while researching what to do in our event coming up, entitled: “FOOD”

“The mission of the church is about more than a distant proclamation or a free hand-out at the soup kitchen. It is about intimate investment in the lives of those around us. It is about securing our identity as a family and then opening the table to those who need the open embrace of Jesus”

from The Complete Book of Everyday Christianity: “Eating”

I really should get into the habit of putting our monthly updates up here!!

How about some history? here is CCN Update July 09

So, the advent of a new Douglas Coupland book is enough of an event to trigger a blog post!! I love his books. Girlfriend in a coma is the tops for me! I used his first book, Generation X, as the basis for an essay at bible college! To be honest the subtleties of that were missed somewhat by the lecturer!!

So maybe I’ll order a copy?!

There was a nice interview in the Guardian today: Douglas Coupland: The Writer Who Sees into The Future [In his new world, people don't do anything any more, but merely cut and paste from the past].

Here’s a good quote:

A friend asked him recently, if he had the choice would he go back to the 90s? He might as well have suggested returning to the middle ages; Coupland was horrified.

“No! Because I would miss the sense of frontier that we have right now. Soon it won’t be the internet any more, it’ll just be like air, like somehow they’ll integrate the internet into the air. And God’s name will have ended up being Google, because that’s the way it worked out.

“It could have worked out that God’s name ended up being Yahoo, of course,” he adds. “But they lost out.”
