I don't know about you but I like to vary the way that I spend time with God; sometimes I will read large portions of scripture, sometimes not so much! Sometimes I will try and memorize certain passages or more likely verse to be honest and others I will use an internet daily reading (see the links page). You might say that I should stick with one style, but then I would get bored. Imagine if you just had the same conversation with your spouse or friends or just went to the same old places, it would soon get boring, so I’m inclined to think that God like's a bit of variety and creativity. Maybe one style works for you so I'm mot knocking it, just saying I like variety!...BlogMon, 13 Mar 2006 11:01:19 -0600http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=5Just had another little thought about my previous blog. Now I don't want anybody thinking that because we live for an audience of one that it means we can be rude to other people or thinking that we do not need others or need to take their advice. To think such a way would be arrogant and foolish, as I believe that God is pleased when we treat each other with respect etc. ...BlogWed, 15 Mar 2006 07:36:39 -0600http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=6This has not been a good season for English rugby! At the risk of being sued England have been RUBBISH! ...BlogSat, 18 Mar 2006 13:31:18 -0600http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=7Have been thinking lately about the type of masks wear. I'm not talking proper masks but ideates or personas that we seek to "put on” that are not a true representation of who we are. This has been triggered by the fact that I'm going to be doing some of the talks on a youth weekend in the beginning of May, but how many of us so called adults were masks that we picked up in our teens?...BlogThu, 30 Mar 2006 12:11:29 -0600http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=8It is not until someone actually picks up on the fact that I have not written a blog for a dews days that I realise that there are people who actually read what write! So I feel a have been reprimanded and now need to write something. ...BlogSun, 09 Apr 2006 11:57:09 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=9I'm sat here in my living room and just listening to the football scores come in. I don't suppose that I'm on my own in what I'm about to say but do you ever get the day's when you just feel rubbish! A rubbish husband (or for you ladies wife), a rubbish Christian and just generally a rubbish person? ...BlogSat, 15 Apr 2006 11:33:45 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=10I'm sure you have heard it say that you aim at nothing you hit nothing...but then again maybe I have made that one up! ...BlogTue, 25 Apr 2006 09:56:18 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=11I cannot believe it! It is a bank holiday and a rare chance to have a lie in and i wake up at 6am! After lying there for half an hour. I got up. After reading a bit of Digital Fortress (I think it is Dan Brown's latest book - not the best but I've started so I'll finish) and waking up, I took the opportunity to have a read of the Bible, in the quietness of the morning. It was quite refreshing....BlogMon, 01 May 2006 02:39:49 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=12I know that there is this whole side of personal and individual relationship with Jesus which is really important, but there is this whole other side that I wonder if we are prone to neglecting far to often. This is the process of journeying with Jesus together....BlogWed, 10 May 2006 07:45:30 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=13I have just spent the last few days preparing my message for Sunday. The reading tomorrow will follow on from Billy' last week in James. ...BlogSat, 20 May 2006 04:08:10 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=14How many of you have been in town or in a shopping centre when there has been a promotion of a new brand of soft drink or chocolate bar about to be launched? I'm sure I'm not alone when this has happened. But it is amazing how many of these new products they will get rid of as everyone wants something for free because you see them all flocking towards the marketing people and stand just so they don't miss out!...BlogThu, 15 Jun 2006 05:55:22 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=15Continued in Mark this morning, really enjoying working my way through the gospels! Just some questions that arose from chapter 7; what are the traditions that get in the way of following Jesus? What traditions have we put on people that makes it difficult to follow Jesus or indeed impossible? Are we more concerned with our outward works and how we look than the heart? ...BlogThu, 22 Jun 2006 03:07:28 -0500http://www.stsaviourscc.org/blogs/index.php?id=16Ever had one of those days when you just feel down and rubbish? I'm sure you have and I'm not on my own in this but today has been a rubbish day! There is nothing in particular that makes it rubbish it just was. Tried to do some work it was rubbish, tried to do some reading it was rubbish, tried to ponder on the scripture that was rubbish (not the scripture! but my approach to it was!). Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish! Looking forward to tomorrow....BlogThu, 29 Jun 2006 09:09:05 -0500
