Written for a friend who has just left to work in the Alps for 5 months I thought I should share this with you just incase any of you are heading to the mountains this Christmas and are looking for a little bit of advise…

Welcome to The Not So Lonely Planets Guide to an Easy Life in the Mountains! Firstly can we just take the opportunity to say a huge:
Congratualtions!!!
Because if you are reading this then you have successfully made it to your destination and worked out how to link your laptop to the internet with out getting lost, killed, distracted, or so frustrated that you threw the laptop out of the window!
You have earned yourself a well deserved pat on the back, although due to the linear rather than circular nature of your trip you shall have to deliver it to yourself. Keep reading →

I’ve just got back from the University carol service where the preacher made a couple of really good points which I thought I’d share with you lovely people…
You always hear of people saying that its important to ‘keep it real’ but what does that mean in terms of God? Does God like to ‘keep it real’? Keep reading →

This is a question I’m often asked, and if I’m honest it’s not one I’m particualrly good at answering. I tend to just stumble around with sentences like ‘Creation only makes sense if theres a god’ This statement for me is correct but does it really answer the question? All I’m really saying is there must be a god…any god really as long as he’s one who has the power to create and maintain life. Keep reading →

Every year the Christian Union organises a weekend away with the aim to encourage, challenge and equip its members and this year was no different! So on the 6th November 29 students descended on the tiny town of Broughton-in-furness, and armed with our Bibles, notebooks and a healthy supply of newspapers we set about studying Gods word. Our speaker lead us through a 4 study series on Isaiah looking at the servant God promises and who that servant turns out to be. I won’t spoil it for you but if you want to know more Isaiah is definately worth a read! Keep reading →

‘He waits the only way he’s giving you this invitation is personally, face to face, all you have to do is open the door.’
Whats so important that God…the Creator of the Universe…would stand there waiting for me to give an answer? Whys this invitation so special? Why is it so vital to accept it?
Every invitation comes with 3 essential parts, who’s invited, the details and an RSVP. This invitations no different! Keep reading →

The doorbell rings
but you’re in the shower, it rings again, you’re first thought is that your not expecting anyone so its probably a sales man; you ignore it. Then you hear a voice, ‘Hello, anyone home, its me’ you think you recognise the voice but your not sure so you finish your shower, get dressed and head down the stairs. You head to the door to find that the person who was calling has given up and gone home; the card they’d come to deliver is lying on the floor, its an invitation you pick it up read it and write the date in your diary. Making a mental note to return the RSVP slip in the morning. Keep reading →

On its own, the truthful answer is not a lot but if 10 people each give £1 a week then it can change a life forever!
My £1 combined with that of 9 others is helping to give Luz, a 6 year old little girl from Bolivia, a safe place where she can enjoy spending time with children her own age, have a hot meal with clean water, gain an education, be provided with health care and learn about God. It’s not a lot for me to give, infact I hardly notice that its been deducted from my phone credit, yet for her it means s Keep reading →
