Pedro- I have been listening to something pretty interesting about number 2. Will try and send you a link.

Soph- Oh yeah, it is thru cityrail that God is slowly teaching me patience. See, He can bring good from evil!

Bonnie- ech, if only families could all work it out so Christmas wasn't such a stress of trying to fit in ten meals in one day, covering three states of the country.

Milika- your answer to number 2 is an interesting thought. It is funny how this happens, and often with people you least expect.

Wendy- As a father of two girls I can assure you there would have been a lot more crying, and a lot more pink.

Amy- worry is the bane of my life. So much anxiety over so little. As another treatment for my stuttering, I've been doing this course about treating anxiety, and it is really helpful. It's about how situations don't cause feelings (worry, anger,anxiety etc), but rather that our thoughts about situations govern the feeling. So it's kind of been about getting to the 'causal thought patterns'.

Ben McLaughlin said...

Maso- Wow, I knew you liked surfing, but I didn't realise you had to travel an hour to do it.. that's dedication.

Simone-I've been thinking a bit about your number 2 answer this week, as I've been meditating more on God's word and thinking deeper. Really, I bemoan my many faults, but how radically different things could be if I just spent more time in the Bible and prayer.

Laetitia-Wow, you wonder about deep things. Would your parents even exist if Adam and Eve hadn't sinned?

Beth- Yes, sweet sweet contentment!

Chris- Mate, the things you want to give up are such awesome things.. it almost breaks my heart to hear you even say it.

Nathan- Yeah, you should totally take up smoking just so you could kick that nasty habit in the butt.

Wow, aliens.. intriguing.
