2007-05-15T13:52:00.000+01:00

By now most of you will know that Teresa is pregnant and that our baby is due 2 days before my birthday (that is the 25th November for those who cannot do maths!) Anyway here are our pictures at 7 weeks and 12 weeks

The TV's Gone

2006-10-22T18:29:00.000+01:00

At last I have joined the growing number of non-television watchers. It was difficult for the first month and i struggle with no match of the day on a Saturday night (although Teresa is quite happy about that!!!) I have found it quite liberating as my mind is now open to new things rather than controlled crap fed through the Coloured box in front of me. I realised this most recent when i was round a friends house and ended up watching Ten Pin Bowling Live on Sky - after ten minutes i suddenly realised that i was watching bowling not even playing bowling. I guess it is like watching fishing!!!

Anyway as sad as i am writing about this stuff hope everyone is ok i am off to Poland again Tomorrow and will update you when i am back

SUPERMAN RETURNS

2006-07-18T17:39:00.000+01:00

Last week i went to my first film premiere. Although it was for the second rate superhero of Superman rather than a quality hero such as Batman it was fun nevertheless. I really went because i wanted to see Kevin Spacey and during the few hours standing outside of the Odeon Leicster Square i got to see different celebrities. Teresa was especially excited to see Mcfly!!

However near the end before all the people had to go inside Kevin Spacey came running out and went round the whole crowd signing autographs and i was able to get an autograph on a poster that i had just pulled off the barriers. It was all very exciting!!!

Anyway saw the film on Friday and thought it was good especially liked Lex Luther but was not that impressed with Lois. Anyway when you see i post a comment to say what you think especially of all the Christ like images.

What do I do now the World Cup is over???

2006-07-18T17:24:00.000+01:00

Oh well so England Lost the World Cup does it come as any surprise after years of realising that England have some of the best players in the world but can't seem to pull it together for the major tournaments.

Well maybe at the Euro's in two years

I am a bit lost at present with no football on the television and with Cricket on Sky i am at a loss of what to watch and cannot bring myself down to the levels of watching a load of wannabe celebrities in an enclosed house so it is back to dvds of friends and Red Dwarf.

MARATHON MAN

2006-05-09T17:00:00.000+01:00

well i managed to complete the marathon in a time of 5hours 20mins and 31seconds which for a first time is not too bad especially when i beat 5 times olympic gold medalist Sir Steve Redgrave by just under 9minutes (we wont mention how many times he had to stop to give interviews!!!).

The experience was amazing and if anyone is thinking of doing it go for it. I wore my batman t-shirt which meant the crowds the whole way round cheered "come on Batman" or sang "dinna dinna dinna dinna, dinna dinna dinna dinna BATMAN" although when you are exhausted after 20mile this was more annoying than helpful but still glad for the support. In all honesty i could have ended up giving up if it wasn't for my boss seeing me at 20miles walking and then encouraged me to keep moving.

I did appreciate the call from Mum and Dad just before the finish so they got to see me over the finish line on TV.

Anyway thanks for all the support i think i have raised about £600 so far for the work we do at Salmon Youth Centre. Check us out on www.salmoncentre.co.uk

Keep On Running

2006-01-06T13:54:00.000Z

I am running in the London Marathon this year and all though i am extremely unfit i am sure in 13 weeks time i will be a lean mean running machine... well at least be able to walk around the course. Part of my entering is that i am trying to raise over £500 for Salmon's summer programme. This is so we can put on several activities for the young people of Bermondsey in the summer holidays.

Anyway if you can sponser me it would be most helpful.

RE: Please Pray

2006-01-03T15:38:00.000Z

Nicks operation was 100% successful and he was able to go home on Christmas Eve. He is doing well and thanks for all your prayers.

Please Pray

2005-12-19T16:56:00.000Z

This is an urgent request
One of my friends who was a Gapper at Salmon is undergoing surgery tomorrow to remove a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit from his head. Obviously there are massive risks. Pray for the surgeons and his family. His name is Nick and he is a great guy. When I spoke to him he said he is in a win win scenario when he wakes up he said he will either see his friends and family or otherwise he will be in heaven seeing Jesus. He really knows that to live is Christ and to die is gain. Anyway please be praying i will update you as soon as i know anything.

Money, money, money!!!

2005-12-19T16:45:00.001Z

Teresa and I were subjected to card fraud recently where someone had spent about £1500 from our account - really helpful before Christmas! Anyway it really made us realise just how much we worry about money when really there are so many more things to worry about in life.

It really emphasised what i was reading in Job in the bible, as Job has everything taken from him yet he still worships God through it - this for me really brought me back to realise how good God has been to me and Teresa and how we do not have to worry about anything.

Ever Crashed a wedding?

2005-11-15T15:52:00.000Z

On Saturday Teresa and I went to one of my college friends wedding. We made sure we checked the invitation and realised that we were invited to everything. The wedding was really nice although quite strange as they had already got married in the eyes of the law earlier in the day and now were getting married in the eyes of God so everything was in past tense.
After this we had drinks and i realised that only one other of my college friends was invited to the reception at 7.30pm. When we arrived there the bride (my friend) looked shocked and eventually came over to say "what are you doing here?" having shown her our invites she was really embarrassed as she had sent us the wrong invitation. Oh well we said and just came home.

Just a last note to say congrats to Ellie and Matt and it could have happened to anyone!!!

BACK FROM POLAND

2005-10-31T13:45:00.000Z

For those who did not know i was in Germany and Poland taking 40 people on a tour of the holocaust.

We started off in Berlin and went to the REichstag and the Topography of Terror which gave some background to the Nazis rise to power we also got to see the Berlin Wall and gain understanding about post war Germany. We then went to Wroclaw in Poland where we spent the day in a school and learnt about Polish culture and history. We then went to Krakow where we visited Auschwitz and came back to Berlin where we visited the House of the Wansee Conference and the Holocaust Memorial. The trip has really affected everyone that went and has hopefully changed peoples attitudes to each other.

The pinacle of this trip was visiting Auschwitz and for the first time in three visits i actually took time out to reflect on how terrible the attrocities that went on there were. In fact i can not put it into words but at one stage i fell on my knees in tears realising that so many needless deaths had happened. On reflection afterwards i realise that this scene gives us a small idea of the scene at the end of time with the Sheep and the Goats. The only difference is that at this time people have a choice to not go to Hell Fire where as the people in the Holocaust had no choice the decision was made for them.

This has really affected me and i really want to make my life count for something.

Ever walked into a Lamp-post

2005-10-10T08:32:00.000+01:00

I was being lines man for a game of football on Saturday. During the game the ball was kicked out of play so i turned to run to get the ball. Little did i know that behind me was a great big pole which i ran straight into wrapping my whole body around it and causing head and leg injuries. I don't know how i ended up with cuts on the front and back of my legs as well as chipping my tooth and having a Jerry bump on the side of my head. However i am recovering now. The moral of the story is always check where you are running before you start otherwise it can be very painful. If you are having an unfortunate day today i hope this makes you smile.

What we are doing!

2005-10-09T16:24:00.000+01:00

At present we are very busy Teresa is working hard at a local primary school, and i am preparing for a trip to Poland where Teresa and i went in Summer but this time i am with young people. The trip is for the purpose of visiting Majdanek and Auschwitz concentration camps and gaining a greater understanding of the holocaust as well as bringing it up to date in working on cohesion among different people and cultures.
