... are way too nice!!!

I got home from the farm today to find a parcel c/- Dani on behalf of you lot, with a very nice card and… the Briefing on cd!! 1600 articles!! Good grief!! Thanks so much!! :D

So yeah thanks heaps for the pressie guys, shucks, it was so nice! Its been a pleasure moderating the forums this year and a bit, its been a great encouragement to me personally in many ways, and I hope you’ve all enjoyed contributing to and reading the forums too. The sense of community we’ve all help build over the year has been terrific, so here’s hoping it continues into 2004 and beyond!

Thanks again guys :D

Luke

edit: oh yeah merry christmas too :D

Three cheers for Dani, who thought of the gift and organised it all (and us)!

We are very glad she did, and that you like it!

Happy Christmas, Luke, and everyone else! May God bless you richly in the coming year.

In Christ,

Han :)

What we didn’t tell you Luke, though, was that we’ve booked you in for a Theology exam based on the articles at St Matthias on December 26 - better get reading! ;-)

Seriously: thanks for all your work here.  This place would not be here if it were not for you.  Thanks.

And three extra cheers to add to Hannah’s for Dani!

Merry Christmas,
Ian.

Luke,

You are very welcome :) We really appreciate your hard work and friendship and wanted to make sure you knew that :)

And to Hannah and Ian as much as I appreciate the accummulated 6 cheers I didn’t do anything to deserve such energetic thanks ;) So no more please ... unless you have a cool ‘Bring it On’ type cheer with spirit fingers in which case I expect to see the full version on Jan 26th ;)

Ian admits that at “Body Jam” classes at the local gym he has been known to show his spirit fingers...

I’ll echo the above sentiments regarding the wonderfulness of Luke (yay Luke!)

Be careful what you wish for, hon… ;-)

I do hope everyone takes this in the spirit in which it is intended.  I self-identify as most of the cringe-worthy things and aspire to the others.  Just imagine me with bouncy hair and pom poms. 

Truth is/ Absolute/ I’m evangelical to boot
I’m Christian/ Reformed/ The media, they scorn
I sin/ I confess/ I hang out on AMS
I’m gentle/ I’m meek/ I turn the other cheek
I’m forgiven/ I forgive/ I know Two Ways To Live
I’m Bible/ Believing/ Postmodernists are screaming
My sins/ Are erased/ I’m justified by grace
I’m holy/ Maybe pious*/ I read the Briefing by Matthias
My doctrine’s/ Hardcore/ I’m studying at Moore
Hate us ‘coz we’re Christians, well you didn’t like Christ either!
We’re Chrstians!  We are Christians!

* This very much depends on what is meant by “pious”.

Never mind the spirit fingers.... Ian you do body jam?????

Now I definitely want a performance on the 26th!!!

*Dani goes off to bed humming cheer from Bring it On*

That’s all right… that’s OK… you’re gonna pump our gas some day

Well, I’m completely lost. I have no idea what ‘spirit fingers’ are, what ‘body jam’ is, nor how “Bring it on” goes.

I’m not sure if I want you to fill me in, either.

Luke - you’re worth a lot more to us. You’re a super moderator and have kept this forum unique in that it’s actually worthwhile contributing to it (I haven’t found another like that yet).

Keep up the good work & have a great Christmas.

Note to self: don’t read Sophie’s works while drinking coffee...I need a new keyboard!!! ;-) Great job, Sophie!

;-) : a judicious choice.

Ian, who now regrets ever mentioning “Body Jam”

Well, I’m completely lost. I have no idea what ‘spirit fingers’ are, what ‘body jam’ is, nor how “Bring it on” goes.

Coming from the man who has never seen Ferris Bueller this, of course, does not suprise me. Don’t y’all think “Bring it on!” is exactly Matt’s kinda movie ;)

BTW Matt- you won’t need to wonder too much about what Body Jam is since Ian is going to lead us all in a class on Jan 26th ;) Make sure you bring your lycra tights ;)

Hey Soph- You forgot the
Gimme a C! C!
Gimme a H! H!
Gimme a I! I!
Gimme a…

or is that the cheering equivalent of the quince paste at a BBQ? ;)

Just to make it clear...I have never worn lycra tights…

...not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Ian. ;-)

Ian: Phew!
