About links from the margin
You are sitting here at the HomePage, the doorway to my notebook on the internet.
At the My Testimoney page you will find news on what is so important to me about my life as a christian. I occassionally update this page as obviously being a christian is all about a living faith, we don't live in the yesterday, but should be living our faith in the now with folk sharing our community space and our world. I spent some time putting together a presentation for my HomeGroup telling them why I find prayer so important. This is represented on my Prayer page, do read through and see if you think likewise. The Links page could be described as a holding page for places I have or currently regularly visit. As with the other pages this is ocassionally added to, but I rarely remove links unless of course they become void. This means I do not need to clog up my puter with MyFavourites, and I have somewhere I quickly access my regular haunts when I am away from my own puter. Also useful for time away from home, if I have internet access I can visit this page for a Daily Scripture. The linked site is not the only to provide this service, but is very usefull when I want to get online to a bible quickly. Courtesy of the Medical Research folk in Cambridge, I had the pleasure of snoozing in a Brain Scanner. See the resultant picture of My Brain here. Random is where old posts from this page may go to die. Some of you may have visited these pages from St Pixels. At one point I was a regular Service Leader, but for one reason or another my appearances at St Pixels have slowed down. Nothing negative about St P's, but I find that I am able to get online at the right time a lot less nowaday. Friendships I grew at StPixels are most valued and treasured in my heart as was the fellowship and worship there. On the Reading & Thought is my very last Reading I talk I gave there. Maybe I will be able to get back again sometime. Blank; Just where does a Blank link lead one to. |
A Merry Heart... added - Jan 6th 2010 Proverbs 17:22 a merry heart doeth good like a medicine but a broken spirit drieth up the bones Christian Music Drama--This is Your Life- SWITCHFOOT added - March 6th 2010 LifeHouse Everything, performed by Cluster 2 of St Barnabas Church, Cambridge. I think this is one of the best 'non-orriginal' versions I have seen to date. added - Jan 10 2010 1st Jan 2010 Does this challenge you? added -Sept 26th 2009 added -Sept 8th 2009 Elijah's Prayer: A nine-year-old boy calls his local radio station (REACH-FM) to pray for his imprisoned dad. Watch this touching story of how one child's prayer has reached his dad, and is making an impact on many others. added -Aug 21 2009 My thanks to Ma H. for bringing this video to my attention. How many of us have the same note in our past, and the same straying from that path?  added - Jul 31 2009Back from a few days at New Wine working with HoverAid, a small charity with one big idea - that hovercraft can be used to overcome the very basic problem of travel to and from certain remote rural communities. Currently operating in Madagascar, terrain too wet for land based vehicles and rivers too shallow for boats, HoverAid are able to move aid workers and equipment around in their specially designed hovercraft on the rivers providing highways around the region. HoverAid have been described as the Samaritains Donkey. Take a look at their web site, maybe you would sign up to their newsletter as a start of your support for their work. Take alook at www.hoveraid.co.uk Redruth Films - Refuge added - June 3 2009 Introducing a friend of mine, added - May 6 2009 for more of his work go visit his SoundClick page. I have more videos which might amuse, or make you think, stashed away on my Video page Snow Days added - Feb 3 2009 Yesterday lots of schools were closed following the most unusual snowfall in East Anglia - that actually laid for a while. The web page that had to be watched as our houshold got ready for the days work showed which local schools were closed, as there is a teacher in the house. So of course I have now updated my LINKS page to include Snow Day School Closures. But will the local radio station use their same link next time or next year - my guess is yes, as the link is dated 2005! Back On-Line added 28th Dec 2008 Finally I have time to get my web pages back online. Sorry to those of you who temporarily were unable to access them. I blame the download of XP Service Pack 3 which kicked off the sequence of events taking my main HomePC offline. For some reason the FTP Client for NTLWorld used via Vista on my LapTop created blank pages. By the time XP had created a fix for their volatile Service Pack 3, I had tried so many of my own innept fixes to get myself online that my orriginal XP was unrecognisable to the Patch they created, thus not working. No, my home PC is not fixed, instead to refloat my site I have moved over the hosting from my ISP provided space to paid for space at 34sp.com Enough beer for a month, I do like the aftermath of Christmas, and today I have even been brought a bottle of beer bearing my surname from the local Manor. I will enjoy... Amongst the other consumable Christmas gifting coming my way this Christmas was some fantastic Port (I fell in love with Port at Tim & Natalie's wedding where Port was served in lieu of Champagne for the Toast. I deffinitely approved.) and some elven like Fudge, which to me took on the form of Lembas or WeyBread which the Hobbitts used to give them strength and energy on their journey. Just a wee sliver at a time - it will take some time to dissappear. Quote from Andrew J Brown Sometimes I think the best religions are those with a little bit of dirt under the fingernails - at least it shows that the tradition has rolled up its sleeves and got dirty in the work of service. July 2008. The job in hand, posting a package at the post office just 2 minutes cycle ride from my house. One of the great things about being so random is that a trip like that can turn into a 22 mile trip through the countryside. I ended up at Audley End, and was able to take the train back home. An interesting day! Quote from Andrew J Brown Sometimes I think the best religions are those with a little bit of dirt under the fingernails - at least it shows that the tradition has rolled up its sleeves and got dirty in the work of service. 27th April 2008 In a recent email I received a quote from John Piper, "Until you know that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for... But what have millions of Christians done? We have stopped believing that we are in a war. No urgency, no watching, no vigilance. No strategic planning. Just easy peace and prosperity. And what did we do with the [prayer] walkie-talkie? We tried to rig it up as an intercom in our houses - not to call in fire power for conflict with a mortal enemy, but to ask for more comforts in the den." My friend went on to say, ....but I suspect many of us need a good kick up the backside in terms of complacency and priorities. I know I do, and often! It's so easy to get distracted and caught up in things of little eternal significance. The battle is raging, but are we even engaging? " Harsh words, but I think we, as christians are well in need of a wake up call as to what our faith is about. Thanks for the timely email S. 8th April 2008 I used to wander the decks of The Ship of Fools, Magazine of Christian Unrest, and still occassionaly creep back on board to see how my old friends are doing. Delighted to congradulate them on their 10th Birthday (or 30th Birthday offline). Happy Birthday Ship of Fools. Links, Ship of Fools, and a 10th Birthday Interview with Premier TV
