Even though there’s no Thursday night games this week I’ll still post today.
The NRL proves to be consistent, running around 75% and only seven points in total for my two losses.There’s really five, maybe six teams and then the rest.
The AFL was an improvement last week, particularly disappointed with Richmond letting me down. This week provides the opportunity to tip the top eight teams, along with team ten. A significant gap is opening up between the top half and bottom half pretty early in the season.

(Draws count as correct)
NRL (last round 6/8; season tally 51/72)
Newcastle
Manly
Canberra
Souths
Easts
Paramatta
Melbourne
Penrith

AFL (last round 7/9; season tally 44/72)
Geelong
Sydney
Hawthorn (I suppose this is North’s big chance)
Brisbane (can’t let next week’s big game distract them from this one)
Richmond
Port Adelaide
Fremantle
Melbourne
West Coast Eagles

Our Churches May Not Be Everything We’d Like Them To Be, But They Are God’s Plan ‘A’ For Sharing The Gospel (via Jared Wilson)

The aspects of church life that we think lack polish or strength can be the ways that God most clearly displays the work of Jesus within us, corporately and individually.

From Jared Wilson:

Brothers and sisters, we are a part of a kingdom that will demolish all pretenders and will fulfill in furious fashion the promise of redemption already sealed for us through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. Not because we are strong, but because He is. Not because we’ve got it all figured out, but because He is “sustaining all things by His powerful word” (Hebrews 1:3b).
Isn’t that weird? You don’t have to be cool, big, strong, technologically savvy, politically fashionable, or culturally relevant. You just have to repent of your sin and commit your weird, broken church to its King. It’s the sinners He wants. It’s the losers He’s choosing. Your weird, messy church—in a pandemic or out of it—is God’s Plan A for your world. And there is no Plan B.
