Grown up “begging”

I sent off a bunch of letters to various organisations today, to see if any could contribute towards the funding or could point me in the direction of any trusts or organisations which may be able to get involved.
I have decided though, that just incase anybody is aware of any obscure funding bodies which [...]



Wonders of real people

I have had to buy a ticket down to the Isle of Wight and am rather pleased that the real person at the local station managed to get me a ticket for a far more sensible price than the £110 the National Rail Enquiries website was quoting me.
It is just another example of why we [...]



Classic ASBO

If you go over to ASBO Jesus you will be able to decide which Mr Men / Little Miss type Christian character you are.
Thanks to Skinny Fairtrade Latte for the tip.



Bizarre Greenbelt thought

I’ve had to e-mail Greenbelt with a query today which I am sure will have a sensible answer but has concerned me.
Third Party, as happened last year, will be having her birthday at Greenbelt (Sunday this time). Anyway it so happens that for the first half of the festival she will be the right [...]



Chilling with the familiar

Current listening is Mr Love and Justice by Billy Bragg.
It’s simple chill out music to put on when you just want to cuddle the duvet, drink your wine and put on something that reflects your mood.



Stepping off the cliff

I handed in my resignation today and gave notice that as from the Monday of Greenbelt I am giving up my v. good and secure job which I enjoy to chase the dream / follow God’s will (delete as you feel appropriate).
People are sending through some great links for funding and I have a list [...]



Bank Holiday antics

“Well-Meaning Guardian Readers Against the Bomb” reads the retro CND badge I picked up today, and it pretty much sums up much of today’s bank holiday fun.
Along with several thousand other people Third Party and myself headed off to CND’s Aldermaston Easter demo. I stepped off the mini-bus and bumped into Sophs , in [...]



Something for the British Grown Up

There is something quietly happening in this country which is really exciting, sensible evangelicals are beginning to have the courage to say what they really think rather than what they think they should say. I’ve recently been reading Others by Chick Yuill. It’s an interesting book, part exploration of Jonah and part of polemic [...]



Christ has risen (an ickle later)

I have been a wuss this year, I got up for sun rise but didn’t wander down onto the beach this year to do my bible reading down there at “proper sunrise”. Rather I sat looking out at towards sea from my front room, window as I read of Jesus revealing his ressurection to the [...]



Listening and Doing

I am just getting a grip on how much we don’t realise the seriousness of some of the stuff we sing in church sometimes.
For example over the years I have happily sung I The Lord of Sea and Sky by Daniel L Schuttehich, the chorus of which says:
“Here I am Lord
Is it I Lord
