Book Review: Sinner

After getting tonsilitis on Sunday i decided to read Sinner seen as i had ben putting it off for a while. 7 Chapters in and i decided it was time to go to sleep. So I wake up on Monday at 11 am and begin anew on this amazing book from Ted.

I have to say it is awesome. There are still the familiar twists and turns that Mr Dekker writes so well but aswell as the thriller aspect there is also a lot more of an emphasis put on christianity. It is very chellenging leaving some questions of would you be willing to stand up for Jesus the way the people in this book do? Most of us would say yes, but when it comes to the crunch time would our answer still be yes? 

Looking forward to his 2 books coming out next year. Green which sounds like a 4th book in the circle TRI-logy..lol and another called Kiss which he is co-writing with Erin Healy(heres hoping Symon is wrong about woman not writing good books or this one will dissapoint).

Frozen-by Stephen Mawson

He stood there as the car bore down on him, the blood like ice in his veins. Thoughts of his now deceased brother flew through his mind, words which he had never said but wished he had began edging into his thoughts.

Then it hit him. He can now say what he wanted to say, so long as they are both in heaven.

What can i say Jon's aninspiring guy ;) more to come

Worst 5 Crushes

5. The Garage Door

When i got my fingers crushed in our garage door before we had the automatic opening device... Ouch!

4. Ong Bak 

Some absolutely crushing fighting in this movie almost makes you cringe. Actually this should be in my top 5 crushes but i had nothing else to put in at number 4.

3. My leg

More of a break than a crush but it still makes the top 5. What was actually more crushing than the actual break was that it was on the first day of 10 scheduled days on the snow...

2. My Pet Rabbit

My pet rabbit wriggled out of my hands after i had him for about a month crushing his back. Poor little fella I have to admit i cried, yep big salty tears. Just so happened that it was mothers day too, it sort of took first place and my poor mother was neglected on that mothers day I will have to make it up to her.

1. Nothing

Thats right there really has been nothing quite crushing enough to reach number one. What a b-e-a-utiful letdown.

The Fetus or The State of the World

When my and Jamie where up in the Tangihuas 2 of the goats we shot had small almost fully formed fetus' inside of them. While at first finding these was really cool it got me thinking; I know its crazy but i do it every now and then.


Some of you are probably shocked by this image and i agree it isn't the most pleasant picture ever taken. Yet as I began thinking about it the world is nuts. If an animal rights activist saw this picture they would be on me like fly on rotting fish. And yet they would probably not even flinch at the news that another baby got murdered through abortion because abortion is as normal in this society as walking out to the letterbox to get the mail. This is crazy, the world now places more importance on the lives of animals than on unborn human babies. When a whale is stranded on the beach it is all over the front pages of the national news papers and one of the headline story's on the news, yet the thousands of unborn babies killed through abortion do not even feature!


Yes stranded whales and animal testing are sad but they do not even compare to the importance of the thousands of unborn children murdered through abortion each year!
