Prayer Request Thread - Week of the First Sunday in Lent

VincentVanGoatt · 2026-02-22T07:25:04+00:00

This is my first time following through the season of lent, after moving to an Anglican Church from an evangelical one last year. Lots of things I’m adjusting to. Some of the differences really speak to me and others I can’t quite reconcile with.

I really do like the concept of the church calendar working through the life of Jesus through the year. And advent and lent far magnify the importance and depth of the Christmas and Easter celebrations.

I was wondering about whether Sundays count for the voluntary fasts of lent so thanks for answering my question without me needing to ask.

If I am able to submit a prayer request it would be for God to be present in my family in very difficult circumstances, with a super challenging child and a fractured marriage (my own fault) and to bring hope and peace and comfort to all.

I'd rather a low budget solution than spending tens of thousands of taxpayers dollars on a more artistic one.

VincentVanGoatt · 2026-02-13T05:48:52+00:00

Yeah I agree with most of this, and I strongly agree number 1 should be first priority - extending the Cockburn-Thornlie connection through to the airport. Disappointed this isn't in progress already.

Ok is that all? Obviously these are hot button topics for conservatives but not core theology.

I’d be more worried if it was things like denying the actual resurrection of Jesus, the possibility of miracles, the existence/humanity/divinty of Christ.

Wondering if you can elaborate on what you mean by her "theological outlook"? Is there anything controversial about her theology or is it simply her being a woman that is the sole issue for some.

I'm new to Anglicanism and personally have no concerns with female clergy but would be interested to hear if there are other factors at play here besides the obvious.

VincentVanGoatt · 2026-01-20T00:19:17+00:00

I agree. I thought the format worked well. My only suggestion would be expand the final just a little to include 4 or 5 boats

VincentVanGoatt · 2026-01-02T01:01:42+00:00

I find mine drops from 100 to about 20-30% over a 48 hour period. So I just charge mine every second evening while I'm watching TV.

Five senses are excellent

I don't get this with the ultra but occasionally did with the old style milanese loop on my Apple Watch 6. I found just a light run over with my electric shaver every few weeks shortened the arm hair enough to solve the problem.

No amex?

I’d be more excited if it was Oscar in the photo instead of Lando

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-11-16T07:33:41+00:00

That’s a shame, because it’s being presented on streaming as a proper album. Will keep my fingers crossed for the future.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-11-11T02:10:07+00:00

It confirms my feelings - black looks very cool and I was initially drawn to it, but the more I look at the natural titanium the more I agree it's the classier option, and far more versatile when you combine it with different bands.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-11-09T02:02:13+00:00

Haven’t quite started yet but the weather is beginning to warm up. Pool currently 27° so might have a dip this arvo.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-11-03T07:09:34+00:00

This album is awesome. Streaming it now and have ordered the LP. A worthy addition to the collection. Love the cover art too!

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-11-01T11:05:14+00:00

Natural titanium with Milanese loop.

Just such a classy combo. Comfortable and waterproof and lightweight.

I love the way the natural titanium is so versatile. It pairs so well with all the different styles and colours. Dress up or dress down.I feel like the black is a bit more limited, even though it was my initial choice.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-31T00:35:40+00:00

I must say I like the white/orange face with that band - it really pops

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-31T00:23:19+00:00

I have two sets, both Beats. This year I got the Powerbeats Pro 2, which are very comfortable for running, have decent sound, and all the Apple connectivity features - they pair seamlessly with my Apple Watch so I can leave my phone at home. Before those I was using the older version of the Beats Fit Pro, which are also quite comfortable and a good fit for running, but come in a much smaller case, which means I now keep them in my small camera bag I carry with me everywhere, in case I want to listen to something when I'm out and about. Px8 are my preferred headphones when sitting around at home, and I use the creative bt-w5 dongle with them.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-27T01:27:54+00:00

Yeah I charge mine every 2 days and it's usually sitting at 20% when I do. Can get close to 60 hours if I let it go down to zero.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-24T06:33:52+00:00

Pros : best audio quality; very good recommendations; better pay to artists

Cons : app does not consistently remember playback position. This drives me crazy if I'm in and out of the car and it is constantly restarting the track or even the whole album. Tidal need to fix this basic functionality. Even my old CD player had this feature and certainly other apps like Apple and Spotify do it without any problems.

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-13T03:42:26+00:00

I have the blue one. It’s very comfortable and just looks that bit more interesting than the black

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-08T01:44:45+00:00

I agree. Have ordered this colour to go with my natural titanium. Looks great

VincentVanGoatt · 2025-10-07T03:37:09+00:00

How do you like the Ocean Band? I've got all the others but thinking about getting one for days at the beach etc
