As Tolkien's 'Two Towers' blazed a trail at the Awards ceremonies this year, Matt and I blazed our own trail around the filming location of Middle Earth.

We took on the vastness of New Zealand, driving, eating and sleeping in a beat-up 1985 Toyata van - complete with blue go faster stripe, nice! The landscape, as I'm sure most of you can appreciate, was spectacular.

When you stand on a barren empty surf beach watching porpoises play, or look in the blue ice crevices of a glacier, or look down from mountain grandeur you can't help but stand in wonder at God's handiwork.
