Holidays with large families……

July 30, 2004

It is great to relax, unwind, and do as little as possible. Yes, that is an option with four children. The beach has a lot going for it. Of course, we Brits are funny about the beach. I guess we’d go even if it was raining. But with the addition of some wetsuits even swiming [...]

Me me me….

July 26, 2004

Today we talk a lot about human rights and almost nothing about responsibilities. Whatever people might feel about the rights and wrongs of the invasion of Iraq the soldiers must surely amaze us. How in this modern society of me and my needs do the find it in themselves to put their very lives on [...]

Blogaholiday

July 24, 2004

Well, here I am sitting in my car next about 2 metres from the sea. I have been left with two sleeping kids to enjoy my music (Daniel Bedingfield) with the windows open and the sounds and smell of the sea lapping around me. Suddenly its all worth it- the late nights at work to [...]

How to get a link from another blogger……

July 22, 2004

What If I Stumble blog has proven yet again one of my strongest assertions about blogging. It seems to be an imutable fact that the most reliable way to get mentioned on someone elses blog is to be nice about them on your own blog. I will close this post with the quote in question [...]

The power of blogging…..?

July 22, 2004

Its funny how influenced by blogs google is. I mentioned the work we do with Middlesex university on this blog and linked to my church and suddenly my home church is in the top three at google for ‘middlesex church’. Meanwhile a large Brighton church called CCK comes well below our own church page even [...]

Terrorist or freedom fighter?

July 22, 2004

I have been criticised for linking to Dan’s historical irony. Apparently the post is ‘Anti-American’. Just to say to begin with, a link to a post on this site doesnt mean I necessarily agree with the post just that I find it interesting. To me the whole point of blogging is to interact with those [...]

A Christian AND a Psychiatrist?

July 21, 2004

A reader asked “How can you be a christian and a psychiatrist? Does the methodology and beliefs of psychiatry not conflict with those of being a christian for you?” Psychiatry often gets a bad press these days. Sometimes its the failure of services to prevent a suicide or even a murder. Sometimes its about psychiatrists [...]

What era is he referring to……?

July 18, 2004

Read Dan and find out: “The world is dominated by a single economic and military superpower. Her armed forces are several times bigger than the nearest competitor. Her multinational corporations dominate the global economy. Her culture, technology and ideas have been spread across the globe, as has her political influence. Yet, there exists an underdeveloped [...]

I’m a blogfather!

July 18, 2004

Someone has described my blog as a parent blog! In What If I Stumble blog I am listed as what I guess is essentially a blogfather. I feel honoured but concerned that this blogger feels ‘unworthy’. The blog is well worth a read and as I said in the comments over there- Trust me I [...]

July 11, 2004

Jollyblogger quotes The Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them due unto you.” He then goes onto quote The Golden Result “People usually do unto you as you have done unto them.” He explains “When someone treats us badly we ought to begin resolution of the conflict by examining how we have [...]

Some new sermon notes…..

July 11, 2004

I preached today on Psalm 102 a sermon entitled ‘hear my cry’. It seemed to have the effect of lifting some poeples hopes up. We are somewhat behind on uploading the audio I am afraid, but hopefully that will resume shortly!

Am I getting old…..?

July 9, 2004

There are many points of transition in ones life when age begins to catch up with you. Somehow the fact that my oldest daughter only has two more weeks left in infants school is one of those moments when I feel I am loosing the race to remain young. It is right up there with [...]
