(Well, West Wales to be precise. ) If anyone out there pays any attention to my ramblings, you may have noticed there hasn’t been an entry for the past week. The reason for this being that I’ve spent the past … Continue reading →

Just got back from seeing Spiderman 2 and I have to say it’s a good film! Is it possible that the curse of the sequel has disappeared this summer, with two sequels which are better than the originals? (Shrek and … Continue reading →

Q: What is the misery of that estate whereinto man fell? A: All mankind by their fall lost communion with God, are under his wrath and curse, and so made liable to all miseries in this life, to death itself, … Continue reading →

Well, played Robin at snooker this evening. After four frames we were level at 2-2, playing down to the final black. I cut the black for the middle pocket, only to have misjudged the weight and it stopped right on … Continue reading →

I had one of my less impressive displays of maturity – or lack thereof – this morning driving to work. An elderly driver consistently remained in the right hand lane of a dual-carriageway, at a speed which was less than … Continue reading →

This morning’s sermon was looking at John 14:25-31. Here Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to all who trust him, with the Holy Spirit bringing peace. Do we trust Jesus at his word, will we allow the Holy Spirit to work … Continue reading →

As Karen and Nigel’s birthdays are within days of each other, they organised a joint celebration day. It started off with a nice leisurely stroll around Gunnersbury Park’s pitch and putt course, and then some time just chilling and having … Continue reading →

Had my first piece of unsolicited SMS today. Of course, this is not to be confused with the pink spongy spam manufactured(!) by Hormel. Now spam isn’t a new concept to me, I’ve lost count of the number of emails … Continue reading →

Hmmm, another manic evening playing four-a-side football with work colleagues. I’m not sure my fitness level is improving in any way – after twenty minutes running around, being semi-useful, I ceased to be a useful part of the team! Not … Continue reading →

Both morning and evening sermons seemed to say the same thing, even though they were from different passages of the Bible, 1 Cor 12:1-16 and Eph 4:7-12, and different churches – Totterdown Baptist Church and Hounslow West Evangelical Church respectively. … Continue reading →

Travelled back to my home town this weekend to join in the birthday celebrations of my nephew. It was good to catch up with family, as well as the enjoyable (and exhausting) experience of playing with my (now) three year … Continue reading →

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the … Continue reading →

I saw Shrek 2 today. Sequels are usually poorer than the originals, but Shrek 2 delivered. Stunning visuals, courtesy of CGI, were on cue, as was a good story. The story had its usual twist on well-known fairy tales, and … Continue reading →

Good job I took this morning off of work. This evening was rather energetic! The five-a-side football after work turned into 4-a-side, which meant more running required… After running around for an hour, I ended up playing Robin at snooker … Continue reading →
