Numball Rally 2009

Last week myself, Zac, Dan (from Full Throttle) and Paul (Christian Motorcycle Association) drove down to Lands End towing behind us a trailer carrying three Honda Zoomer mopeds.

Historical documents required

Eythorne Baptist has a long and interesting history, which Ted Allright is now researching. During his research he's realised there are many many stories and intersting facts out there.

Broadband, Narrow Vision

From the coordination via social networking websites of protests in Iran, to the phasing out of textbooks in favour of online learning resources in California, to your viewing of this article wherever you are in the world, Internet technology has changed the way we live.

And, whether you think it for better or worse, it will continue to do so.

Connecting or Disconnecting with Culture?

Some time in the next three years our elderly television set will have to go, since it provides merely four analogue channels. Our dilemma is whether to live without TV, or embrace a multiplicity of digital possibilities. So I decided to read thoroughly a broadsheet media guide.

Excuse me, are you Jesus?

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago. They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush home through the airport, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere.

Florida court sets atheist holy day

In Florida, an atheist created a case agasinst the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against the Christians and the Jews and observances of their Holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheist had no such reconised days.

Redundancy

The sight of stunned employees carrying their personal possessions in cardboard boxes out of the Lehman Bank building is etched in my memory. Gathering in a state of shock in local bars, some dulled their pain with alcohol and tried to rebuild self-worth through group support.

The Secret Millionaire

Channel 4’s The Secret Millionaire is TV that can legitimately claim to change lives. Each programme follows a millionaire as they go ‘undercover’ for two weeks, to experience life on benefit in a deprived area. During their fortnight, the millionaire seeks out volunteer opportunities with local community projects, with a view to identifying worthy causes to which they can donate cash.

Defender of Faiths?

Extremism. Irrelevance. The twin evils set to destroy the public image and persona of religion worldwide. The first fuelled by minority elements amongst people of faith, and the second foisted upon religion by a majority of those of no faith, dismissing it as outmoded superstition.

Plea for knitters for charity

On 2nd April I shall be returning to visit the children in Nanyuki Children's Home. At a visit several years ago some very kind people knitted a host of glove puppets for me to take to give to the children. I cannot tell of the delight and joy these puppets gave the children. We taught them to play games together using the puppets (hilarious).

A New Year for rejoicing

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ… In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials. 1 Peter 1:3,6

Pray for Kenya

Please pray for all my friends in Kenya and the children in Nanyuki

A purpose beyond our understanding
