Blogging for my Wife

Not gonna lie this blog is all for my beautiful wife.

Only problem is I'm a little bit tired and we are both sitting on the sofa watching the end of Sister Act... great movie.

I'm so blessed, being able to chill after a long day with such a good and gorgeous person.

So thank you wifey for firstly being my wife, secondly for being so kind and patient with me, thirdly for being so ridiculously wonderful/pretty and fourthly for wiggling your booty at me.

`True love, you'll always be my true love`

What Am I Known For...

I read a tweet earlier today which got me thinking; aforementioned tweet basically was saying that shouldn't Christians be known for the positive things they stand for as opposed to everything they are against. The later being the pervading world view - Christians are against x, y and most definitely z.

That got me thinking, what am I known for?

Do people know I am Christian?

If so, is it because of my Christlikeness or because I said something?

And either way, am I a positive influence, friend, colleague etc?

In some ways it is possible to answer these questions and in other respects impossible, there are a myriad of different reasons for the way people react to oneself and sometimes it has nothing to do with what you are like as a person or how you behave.

Anyways, like I said it got me thinking, and I want to be known as a follower of Christ, not because of what I am against but because of what I stand for. Love, justice, truth, peace.

Lazy Boy

My beautiful wife pointed out to me that it has been quite a while since I blogged... Therefore this blog is dedicated to her. Even more so because it's the weekend and she's stuck at work. Teaching eh, it's not all holidays!

While she is out, I am on the sofa watching the Paralympics. I've seen 4 world records already this morning, which has literally left me in tears every time. Whatever anyone says or thinks, these athletes are out of this world and such an inspiration.

So what have I been upto the last couple of months, a very condensed update:
Promotion at work, am now managing a new team which is a great opportunity.
Went camping in Shepton Mallet at Soul Survivor festival with the young people from the youth work wifey does - great time, encouraging, fun, muddy, sunny, inspiring.
At Soul Survivor finally broke my duck of getting knocked out the first round of the 5 aside football tournament - managed in wellys to boot! (we got knocked out in the next round, but hey!)
Band has been a little bit quiet, but hopefully will be sending the demo off to gig venues very soon.
Had two weddings over the summer, was so nice being there, two completely different days but the overwhelming sense of love and community was wonderful.
Friends, food and neverending washing up!


Anyways, time for this lazy boy to  get off the sofa and do something.
