Happy Yfi generation – pt 1

Have just finished trawling my way through Making Sense of Generation Y The world view of 15-25year olds & so sit back, grab a glass of something and prepare for yet another mini series.
First off I nearly didn’t get past the cover. The Generation Y bit is in bold & from reading the [...]



Looking for the opinion of “the other”

Today I got a mailing from Care for the Family which made me smile and wince in equal measure.
It made me smile because it put me in the “young category” being a thirty something who is still under the magical 35. Yet it also made me wince because yet again it put me in [...]



:D – lol

This is one of the funniest things I have read in a while.
My favourite bit is:
“Embrace Emerging Church. This is much easier than it sounds, and can usually be accomplished by completing the following four simple steps:
• Meet in an abandoned bus garage.
• Change your music. Emergent theology is taught through its songs. I'm [...]



Prophet transfer?

Am discovering a sudden passion for Habakkuk. Started looking into this book for housegroup and have decided that he seems to have loads to say to our generation (i.e. his the way he moans at God is similar to the way we do about violence, oppression and perversion of justice).
Really not sure about elements of [...]



Thank you

I could pretend I never look at the stats, but that would be untrue. I’m as interested as the next wiblogger in what strange googling has brought somebody here.
As such I have noticed that I have passed the 10,000 hits mark on my wiblog recently. So just thanks for reading & commenting.



Suprised, happy, bunny

In case anybody was wondering my initial worries about The Tractor Boys appear to have been slightly premeture. As I speak we are currently well above the team that shalt not be named in the table .
In addition the owners of the team that shalt not be named are, according to the BBC [...]



More fuel added to the secularisation debate

Even the briefest of glances around the religious (& some of the secular) press this week would make you aware that Dr. Peter Brierley & his staff at Christian Research have published the results of the 2005 English Church Census this week, which is apparently sub-titled “Pulling Out of the Nosedive”.
The Church Times helpfully [...]



Abstract meeting

Went up to see the Kandinsky exhibition, The Path To Abstraction, at the Tate today with Rosamundi and some other people from SOF .
It was a very plesant day out and the exhibition was quite interesting, although I am not overly into Kandinsky’s work. There were a range of pictures that I enjoyed [...]



What does my hotbar tell you?

Third Party has installed something called Hotbar, which is basically a marketing tool onto my computer and I have neither the knowledge or will to remove it. I have learnt to become immune to what it says, but sitting here, thinking what to write I looked up and wondered what its current settings say about [...]



Fiction isn’t as wierd as it used to be

I’m currently reading JPod by Douglas Coupland and am struck by how unwierd this black comedy feels, despite it’s exaggerated storyline.
Somehow at the moment all the wierd stuff in it seems like standard life and quite feesible despite the fact I don’t know anybody who matches the characters in the book. Know I’m only [...]
