Been so caught up in Dante that I have been neglecting other entries at this primary sight.
So a bit of catchup...
Arose early (for me) today at about 5:00 to make a traffic free run to the airport to greet one of our Kings imports. He came off the plane in a T-shirt from the States, so it was probably a good thing that I had taken along a medium-warmth AIA jacket for him to borrow (just in case).
It is good to have him back. He made a huge contribution last year, and we will need him as we work at an unbelieveable fourth national championship in a row.
Half the team is off to the Boomers camp in Melbourne...it looks like we will have a bottomless bench this year.

Dante Musings moving to new blogsite
I'm having so much fun with Dante right now that I have decided to move my musings to a new blog entitled "Scratching at Dante". Link here or in the column on the left.

Dante: Inferno--Canto Two
Thought...
The encouragement of a godly perspective can empower us to renew our resolve and enter the steep and savage path.

Dante: Inferno--Canto One
Thought...
When facing insatiable beasts of mighty power and cunning it might behove me "to take another road".

Maximsing in Macarthur
I have finally finished all the requirements for certification as a Life Coach with Future Achievement Australia!
And just in time...nothing like an opportunity to speed you along toward a goal.
Jan and I have been asked to serve as FAA Coaches to "train and support" volunteer coaches (who will in turn coach hand-selected "choice" young leaders in the Macarthur/Campbelltown area of Sydney). The government-assisted programme is entitled "Maximising Potential in Macarthur". We have already had our first intensive training with 50 volunteer coaches... and started meeting with them individually for the first of four person coaching sessions last Wednesday.
It is a privilege to provide some positive input into these young lives...and we are benefiting from their enthusiasm as they learn new ways of interacting with others while journeying toward personal development. The coaches are an interesting mix of educators (both high school and uni level), social workers, and community and church youth leaders. The mix has generated some great interaction!
