There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

I never wrote about an article that really challenged me from Relevant (the American Christian magazine and website). The article looked at what this particular lady was actually looking for in a man and it was a supremly challenging and highly insightful read (why not check it out yourself here. The funny thing is after reading this article I watched the passion (as a way of focusing on the cross and love at the start of the 24-7 prayer week), and saw the example of Jesus' love and it blew me away. Love never seems easy. It's a decision, an action that takes time - even in our relationship with God. We need to work on that relationship, talk and listen to God, learn, change to be the person that we need to be for God. It's not easy, but hey, I'm going to go for the hard slog!

In other news, yesterday I managed to make it a hat-trick of church quiz losses (though this time it was only by 10 points!) yet again holding up the bottom of the table! I did have a larger team this time (I was joined by David, Josh, Helen, Sarah, Dorri and Katie) but our youth and vitality was no match to the questions (many of which were based on events from before we were born!). Currently listening to Hip Hope 2005 which I'm about to review... there's a big bigfattoothbrush update coming up - I've suddenly realised how big it is as I keep doing more and more work on it. There is also going to be a change of design for 2005, either changing to a blog based xml site or a php based site. Will probably use aguilder.co.uk as a method of testing this properly first (you may notice the XML feed - suitable for your live bookmarks in Firefox that you should have downloaded and installed by now! Anyway today got some website work to do and then I've got Supergang this evening (which is the first of an Advent 4 parter!). Have a great day. God Bless...
