Today was a day for these two things to go together.Its a real pain that football is not played on a Saturday afternoon anymore but that comes with taking the tv money.So when your team is playing its biggest rival on Sunday morning I have to combine the two.
Going to church as a leader can sometimes be difficult there are certain expectations on you to produce much like footballers going in to big games.This morning I felt exhausted but still willing to share some thoughts that maybe God had given to me.Part way through our service I felt God prompting me to say something I had not expected.With my heart racing I shared with the folk about the love of God being all that will remain.Everything else we have will fade but his love will prevail for us.
We also had the hearting story of someone giving away £20 prompted by God to bless someone who had just lost a child.this may not seem a big deal but when its done in love it has a great effect.The woman tracked down the person who gave the £20 and told her that she had used it to buy some flowers for her child's grave.These small stories of peoples faith in action are what keep you going.

I gave my last £20 to the same girl and she agreed to invest it so that God could multiply it I wait with anticipation to see what happens.

As for my team they played well and won 4-2 which made my and my cousin very happy but I have to say not as happy as the story of the £20.

Theres a song out at the moment with a line that say "it was acceptable in the eighties".
Not for me.So today Im all on my own as my wife and friends have gone of to a music festival called retro-fest.Its full of old eighties bands like the bangles and culture club have alook here.http://www.retrofest.co.uk/
Its not that I dont like music I love it but just not the eighties and not culture club.The bangles maybe!!

So its good to have some time to just kick back and be lazy on a Saturday although thats what I do most weeks.

Its not as if I'm a boy but age has nothing to do with the way guys react to new gadgets.
I got a new phone this week and between me and the boys we have spend hours looking at it and flicking through all the cool things it can do.I was most impressed by the way it can play my music in my car through an FM transmitter .How good is that.
The phone is now full of Batman and Joker themes from my youngest.The oldest doesn't want to admit that his dad has a better phone than him .Its great for winding him up.
Take any man into a gadget store and watch him start to drool all over the place it really is embarrassing.I know I was that man.

I thought that after years of messing about on line and posting comments here and there that I should join the blogger world.Not that what I have to say is anymore interesting than most other people but I just like to talk.

I hope I will be able to keep it up as one of my faults is not seeing things through.I always start full of energy then fade away,But I do spend a bit of time online so that should make it easier.

What will you find on my blog?

Well you might find some everyday stuff.I may rant and rave from time to time.I will talk about football and faith.These may seem an odd combination but not for me.

I may talk about my new studies into christian micro-enterprise or the new project we are starting in Glasgow called open door.

Maybe nobody will ever read it but hey who cares .
