Pixar didn't disappoint. Toy Story 3 was great.
Went to strathfield yesterday, and the ticketing officer somehow heard Ashfield instead. Ended up with a return ticket to Ashfield.
Luckily it was only two stations apart.

It's been three weeks into the holidays.
One week was spent at Meroo on a five day conference along with christian groups from UTS, UWS and Wollongong. We focused on the cross of Christ and remembered what Christ has done for us. Summing up what I was reminded of.

We have all sinned by rebelling against God.
We've chosen to live life our own way without the need for God.
The gravity of sin is enormous, and our due punishment is facing the wrath of God.
What is facing the wrath of God like?
Imagine pitch darkness, no sun, sickness, every good thing you've ever known gone. For every good thing comes from God, and in that place, God won't be there.
What struck me most was that this world is already a glimpse of what hell is like. But it is only partial, because God's goodness is still here.
This is the outcome for anyone who has not placed their trust in Jesus.
For while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God took his wrath onto himself, not because of us, but because of his name's sake. Because he is love, that we may be forgiven and can live with Him. There is nothing that you need to do to be forgiven by God. Because you have already been forgiven, if you acknowledge your sin and believe that Jesus has died and taken your punishment on the cross.

Spent another week of the holidays packing up notes from first semester. Watched Karate Kid as well. It was an alright movie, lots of kung fu. I didn't think it should be rated PG though, there were a lot of little kids in the cinema when we were watching.
I've only ever heard good things about Toy Story 3. Shall be watching it soon before uni starts.
