Stuff over the last two weeks thats been through my head

Im just back from camp at Mototapu Island (which is connected to Rangitoto Island) and recoveing from overtiredness, injuries and heaps of fun. I was a leader at this Scripture Union camp, my role was the ADJ - the MC and camp rules guy, a very new experience for me, but I adapted well, to my suprise. It was an Intermediate level camp, campers aged 10-13, and it was great to see some desicions from the kids to turn to God.

Anyway heres some tnings which have been running round my head the last few days and I've dabbed down on paper:

The First of a year
The first day of a year often recollects our vision of life, the stranded thoughts of a just past Eve come together to conform with the reality and conginuity of life,
thnough our Dreams still lead us on.

Recent Readings
The reading of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness has inspired for me an intrest in the power of the beauty of words, and the author's ability to dictate the mood and tone of his or her peice of art.

The Power of One and Tandia have revealed the strength behind a strong and livable, though tragic storyline. Very good reading.

The Sea
The water lapped at the shore, shrinking out and falling forward again and again and again. It is much like a broken rhythm or a lazy off beat of Nature's sympathy for us, the wicked mankind.

After all the Sea is Nature's strong example of it's long lived endurance, destroying rocky shores and leaving them as soft sand. The sea is always moving, alsways stretching futher and futher towards our land founded homes, an ancient and much forgotten threat. The rising and falling dynasty of the tides give the world a warning of its savage power by presenting us with it's sickly soft sand, or as we say 'our beaches'. These are the fruit of her endless work. Ah the savage power, the savage sea.

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan:
The proper study of mankind is man,

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
