Our God Reigns on Myspace

Monday, April 30th, 2007

EP

A full version of “Our God Reigns” from the EP is now avaiable to be streamed from my Myspace page.

If you’re not my friend already, go ahead and add me. I like friends.

And if you don’t already have a copy, remember that the EP is available to buy on our online store. I’m sure my producer, Andy, will even throw in a signed photo of himself if you request it.

Calling All Peacemakers (in the UK)

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Rob Bell

Just to let people know that Rob Bell is touring the UK in June this year. Rob’s sermons, books and videos have been a great inspiration and source of challenge over the past 3 years. I first saw the Nooma film Flame when I was at University and was amazed that someone had actually created a credible piece of Christian Video with content to match the visuals. Then a while later I found that Mars Hill Church (where Rob is the teaching pastor) puts all their sermons online for free. Rob has also written two books Velvet Elvis and more recently Sex God. I read Sex God last week whilst away on holiday and found it an easy yet revelational read in a world that seems to have lost it’s way defining what it means to be sexual.
Calling All Peacemakers will mainly be in venues associated with rock gigs, tickets are available here and a £1 from every sale goes to the Turame Microfinance Project. Might see some of you at Wolverhampton.

Alan Ball - England Hero

Alan Ball

This morning I woke to the sad news that England’s ‘66 World Cup hero, Alan Ball, had passed away.

Being only 22, I never got to see him as a player, however, having seen re-run’s of the ‘66 final, it was clear that he was a great player as well as seemingly, one of the nicest characters in football.

I remember watching last years PFA awards where he spoke to the England team before heading off to the World Cup in Germany, with more passion than I think I’ve ever heard any other England player or manager speak.

Alan Ball - a World Cup winner, a legend and an English national hero.

Who Am I Being?

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

How many times have you been in a conversation with someone, and they say something like, “I have no idea what I want to do with my life,” or “I’m just gonna do this job for a few months until I decide what I really want to do.”

Cross Roads

I for one, have been in that conversation plenty of times, and admittadly, most of those statements have usually come from my side of the dialogue.

My time or His time

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

The master in the ART of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.

He hardly knows which is which.

He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decided whether he is working or playing.

To him he’s always doing both.
