    I did a fair amount of extra reading for sermon prep over the last couple of days. I revisited Anselm's Cur Deus Homo and read Athenagoras of Athens' treatise "On the Resurrection of the Body."

    What a Capital Idea - Australia 1770-1901 - Dr Chris Reynolds 2023.

    It is interesting, though I am not sure about it, it does seem in many ways to be a kickback against some of the contemporary, and dare I say woke, retelling of Australian History. If you never read anything that challenges you, then you are putting some limits on growth.

    The Easter barbecue? In Argentina, the fasting of Holy Week is broken with a giant barbecue, very Argentine. After the meal, desserts, and then lots of mate.

    Australians are a bit gunshy about making great claims, but we still call Australia Home. We are however quite keen on beef and malbec!, so we have more in common than our countries start with the same letter.

    I bought my kids a book that I also found quite interesting. I don't have it nearby to get the title but it profiles about 40 school children from around the world, what their school is like, what their day is like, and where they live.
