Another month, another football game between HWEC and HTC. Not sure what happened, but we won! 4-1! 🙂 Not that I’m complaining!

After a month of holidays and general lethargy, some of my work colleagues and myself were back on the football pitch. After five minutes, my muscles appeared to be telling me I should’ve stayed off the pitch! Ah well, survived the hour, with the odd bruised shin. Hopefully my fitness will improve in due time.

This is nuts!

As human beings it can be so easy to boast about ourselves, our achievements, our gifts and talents. We can value our own wisdom, our own learning, great orators. Paul writes to the church in Corinth to address the problems they were having. If we’re honest, many of the problems which beset the Corinthian Christians still beset us today. For God did not choose many (note the ‘m’) who were wise, or of noble birth, according to the world’s reckoning, but instead chose the foolish, those of lowly birth, to do his will, that he might work in them. This was done so that, as Christians, we cannot boast in ourselves, but that we can only boast in Christ. So that we cannot glory in ourselves, but give all glory to God.

There was nothing in my diary for this morning, so I stayed in bed for as long as I could. 🙂 After a busy Friday evening at church helping with the final holiday bible club event of the week, I figured I could do with a good sleep. Finally got out of bed some time around 11am, had a bath, hung out the washing, planted my lavender bushes in the garden and cooked some breakfast. Once I’d done all that, it was time to wander down to Feltham Evangelical Church for a baptism. Afterwards caught up with Daniella over dinner, and then on to Dave’s to watch a DVD.

Dave had chosen Children of Men, which looked interesting from the sleeve. The whole scenario, of a world where mankind is no longer able to procreate is an interesting one and one which the film portrays in a very believable and stark way. It’s a shame the story which we told which takes place in this scenario isn’t quite so interesting, with some not so subtle half-baked political commentary thrown in. Worth seeing if only for the world portrayed, despite the story.
