Hmmm, still walking with a twinge of pain in my ankle since yesterday’s game of football – which was a good run around, ending in a pleasing final result, albeit with a one or two unexpected goals!

This morning’s sermon was a look at the next of Jesus’ topics in the sermon on the mount. The manner of Jesus’ sermon was certainly ear-catching – In reference to adultery, “If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge … Continue reading →

Just viewed an interesting video clip by the BBC covering an American organisation called The Silver Ring Thing who are over here to promote their cause – that intimate sexual activity should only occur within marriage, as taught by orthodox … Continue reading →

Q: Did all mankind fall in Adam’s first transgression? A: The covenant being made with Adam, not only for himself, but for his posterity; all mankind, descending from him by ordinary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him, in … Continue reading →

Beat Robin 2-1 at snooker. Still playing rather scrappily.

Well, spent the evening watching the England-Croatia football match with some friends, in the garden, with a barbeque, under the sun of the first official day of summer. Strangely enough, come the first England goal, we were all rushing into … Continue reading →

This morning’s sermon was titled “God: Does he really care?” focussing on Romans 5:8. Despite the suffering endured by many in this life, God does care. We know because God the Son gave himself for us, becoming a man, to … Continue reading →

Well, the Harlington Singers had their summer concert this evening, with me accompanying them on the piano. The line up, changed slightly, for reasons to be explained later, was: Ralph Vaughan Williams, Linden Lea Contantius Festa, Down in a Flowery … Continue reading →

Well, did my bit to appoint a Member of the European Parliament, a Mayor for London and a couple of representatives for the London Assembly. Quite a few crosses to mark out. Rather a sobering thought to think that, unlike … Continue reading →

Beat Robin 2-1 at snooker. Very scrappy set of frames though. No real conclusion can be drawn from the outcome. I must admit to being slightly bemused at a report submitted by “Muslim educationalists” to government ministers as reported by … Continue reading →
