Seeing Red

Job Vacancy

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 13:12:55 -0800

Now my blog is not strictly about Jobs.....

Yesterday I was reading through my bible and wanted to read a chapter from Job. To my amazement, Job was missing. Now I know sometimes its hard to find books in the bible (especially the really small ones like 1 John and 1 Peter) but Job I was pretty sure is quite a large book in the bible - over 40 chapters long!

The bible which I had raved about to all my pastorate buddies had one major flaw! (It is pretty special as it contains the TNIV and the Message side by side on each page - two translations in one!!) They'd missed out Job!

As you can imagine - I have bought a new bible.

A pretty bad 'JOB' eh? Ha ha.

Recurring Prayers

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 10:26:52 -0800

At the weekend this prayer kept appearing in a number of different places. I believe that is often God's way of saying something. I think the bottom part in bold has become so true and something certainly I need to pray for more regularly.

Thanks be to you, our Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits which you have given us,
for all the pains and insults which you have borne for us.
Most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother,
may we know you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly,
day by day.
Amen.

Isn't it strange how things change?

I'm just thinking how things can change in a year.
A year ago - I wasn't interested in getting things right with God. I was more interested in my job. In fact it was my life! My friends were those who I spent time down the pub with drinking. That was all we had in common!

A year ago - I booked myself on a weekend away with HTB - The Emerge weekend. I don't think my life could have changed more! For those of you heading down to Emerge this coming weekend. See you there! I can't wait!!!!! XXXX

Is anyone looking to sell a Keyboard?

I have a confession to make: I am a closet keyboardist. Some people know, but you wouldn't really as I never ever practice or play in public (well twice in the last 6 six years!) Why may you ask? Well not having a keyboard or a piano to practice on is a big problem (Air piano is not cool, nor does it make you a better piano player! Just in case you've tried).
