I hope to spend some time at Church of the Saviour when I finish uni. Ever since hearing an explaination of the centred set and bounded set 'models' of church I have been somewhat engrossed in the question:

"how do we plant churches of people that are both spiritually deep (i.e. where people's characters actually change) and yet inclusive (i.e. that the demands of 'membership' are not so high as to push people away)?"

I'd love to hear some of your stories!

Watching Erin Brockovich last night I realised how ironic our legal systems in this world are. The only real means of compensation we have is money, which, when you've lost health or a loved one is of limited value. Why do we put such value in something that has such limited worth?

Phew, I've finally managed to get my archives back working.

Today I worked at M-store for the first time in ages. It was also the first time I've been up before 9am for a while! I'm currently reading Ishmael, a book that Chris lent me before he left for Nottingham (uni). It puts a rather interesting spin on the story of Adam and Eve. Each time I go to it I have to get over the fact that I'm actually 'eavesdropping' on a conversation between a human and a gorilla though.

Had central enrollment at uni today, then hooked up with Viv, Helen and Zoe to talk about this year in our Housechurch. I think we have a great adventure ahead of us.

Ellie and Daniel's wedding was great on Saturday. For a few photos click here. Before Daniel walked in "the final countdown" was playing in the background. When the music faded the voice of a wrestling commentator came over the PA "ladies and gentlemen...weighing in at 180 pounds we have...Daniel Clarke." Daniel strides in. It was very funny.

In the evening we went to Jordans Barn for a bit of a party. The band they had playing were real good - they even played Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition'. Congratulations guys.

I think I've done tweaking this blog for now. Any thoughts on the layout?

We're travelling up to St Albans tonight ready for Dan and Ellie's wedding tomorrow. Should be a good one.

Howdy. Well, last night I finished the latest installment of the cardiff vineyard site. Something a little different. I think the last design was only meant to be for a short time.

Back to real life I guess, but not before redesigning this ole thing.

I'm the 2,372,468,828th richest person in the world. How about you? click here to find out.

I thought I'd give a quick update...

I'm delighted that Blogger has shut down their Pro service and are now offering the features of the service for free!

Last night our HC gathered in Shot in the Dark (our local coffee house) for the first time since the summer. It was cool to catch up on news and celebrate Rob's birthday. Others are yet to return to Cardiff - Emma is still in Swansea, Viv is doing a brief wedding tour while James is in South Africa.

The new cv site is going fairly well and will hopefully be online before the end of next week, by which point I'll hopefully be back blogging more regularly. Ellie and Daniel are fast approaching their wedding day - how exciting!

Sorry for not blogging recently - I've been re-designing the cv site (again, I know) ready for a new season. I'll hopefully redesign this one also.

Today my travel alarm clock rang 45 min before the time I had set it for (7.45). Ouch.

We're looking forward to the impending weddings that are ahead - Ellie and Daniel's on the 20th September and then Doug and Michelle's on the 27th December.

I've been listening to some music that I hadn't heard before this week - namely Ben Harper. It's real good, real bluesy and chilled. Also continuing to love Jack Johnson. To balance out the mellowness I've also been enjoying some Thrice and RATM (never boring).
