Strange Bank Holiday…I had planned to lounge around and file all my paperwork. Instead, I had a text from Zack inviting me to the Amyand Park Chapel trip to Virginia Water. Had a picnic by the lake, caught up with … Continue reading →

Strangely enough, both morning and evening services were on Pentecost. Strange because I had taken a friend to Wilton Community Church as he is looking for a church near to him, whilst still going to Hounslow West in the evening. … Continue reading →

Witnessed a wonderful wedding today. I’ve known them both as a couple for around two years, so it was great to see them tie the knot in the sight of God and us. May their life together be blessed. The … Continue reading →

Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who … Continue reading →

Just seen “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” at the Odeon in Uxbridge – what a cool film. I’m not usually into romantic films, but this one was different. There was substance to the characters and their relationships, and it … Continue reading →

Hez’s birthday today, so a few of us went out for a celebratory meal. Good conversation, good company and the food wasn’t bad either. However, something went awry with the bill. Somehow, even though everyone paid their bit, the amount … Continue reading →

After many weeks of rehersals, some of which have been doubt inducing, I think the choir I accompany will be ready for their concert in two weeks time. They sang Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “As Torrents in Summer” with aplomb, and … Continue reading →

The sermon this morning was on the claim of Jesus – “Trust in God, trust also in me”. If Jesus were not God, this statement would be that of a madman, yet his life shows he was not. Jesus also … Continue reading →

A nice slow day. Lounged around for most of the day, practiced the Beethoven Violin Sonata for a while – showing signs of improvement – it might even be pleasant to listen to soon. Went to play snooker with Robin … Continue reading →

Well, another week over. Just got back from ten-pin bowling with the 11up club. Got a rather respectable 132, although one of the kids got 168(!) Ah well. Getting the hang of this new phone though. Successfully copied the phone … Continue reading →

The Bible Study this evening was on the ascension. Basically, there are four main points which can be brought out: Christ ascended above all things, he is pre-eminent, and reigns over all. As such, why should I rebel against him … Continue reading →

I should probably not be allowed to wander the high street in my lunch break. (I’m sure Sarah, Becci and some of the other girls would find the following example of impulse purchasing amusing!) Somehow I managed to upgrade my … Continue reading →

OK, I’m a geek! I’d been waiting for the release of Fedora Core 2 for a while now. All I have to do now is download it, which may take a while – 4 CDROM ISO files!

Went to work wearing an unironed shirt today. You’d think people would have better things to do than remind me my shirt is unironed…but then, maybe they don’t…maybe I’ll wear a T-shirt tomorrow?

Well, the sermons at church today were interesting. This morning, we were looking at a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, specifically Mt 5:17-20, with Rom 8:1-4 as a development. The passage was basically broken into four points: Doctrine, … Continue reading →
