Come on Costa Rica! watching the opener with Phil and the family. did a world cup assembly at toby's school this morning to help get in the mood.
Been a hot week! Met with Richard Passmore at the beginning of the week. Richard works for the cym (centre for youth ministry) in bristol and is a old youth work mate from my Gloucester days. Good to show him round and get his take on things. Also discussed the possibility of getting a student from cym on placement in Sept 2007. Also went to Liswerry School CU with my mate Jim - Jim thanks for a great chat and an awesome bacon sandwich! L and I met with Sheila to discuss the "transfer of power" with regards to St. Paul's restaurant as of September this year. And we've enjoyed seeing Cat and Sarah and other people too. Sorry if this is all a bit dull but apparently some deanery whingers having been saying that they don't know what I'm doing......perhaps they'll be none the wiser even if they read the above!.....they could of course just ask me.....
Preaching this Sunday by the way on John 3 for trinity Sunday and been thinking lots about what Brian McLaren says about eternal life in his excellent book "the sercret messge of Jesus". What is eternal life? Do we need to get further away from the pie in the sky when you die stuff and more into the steak on the plate while you wait stuff?
