Wednesday morning getting reading to go to my very cool cluster! Been up to all sorts over the past few days. Did some swming and gyming, been applying for a part time job with lloyds bank, did elevate last night, watched silent witness (which was rather good) and spoke to my parents on the phone.

Anyway got lots of exciting stuff coming up! Starting to plan a couple of things including a 24-7 Prayer week during October half term, the first alt. service in November and the Brix, so lots to do! Also praying my tax code comes though soon because I need the money (so I can pay for my webspace and SWYM fees!). Anyway better go cos I've got to get a lift to cluster from Matt! Have a good day!

What a very cool weekend, been doing all sorts of stuff. On Friday night we had YO Club which went really well along with Pre-Discovery (three events we are holding before discovery - a kind of youth alpha type course starts) where we watched School Of Rock and ate popcorn (apart from myself who munched on a bag of carrot sticks (mmmmmmmm). Saturday was quite a cool day did some walking along the beach and up to Orcombe point (which has a nice new path - no muddy bog to cross any more!) joined by David, Dorri and Helen (and Charlie the dog).

We then were joined by Emma and Anne - had a cream tea and made fresh ginerbread back at the house, watched Anger Management and lost everyone as they went home for dinner! In the evening Helen, Anne and Emma came around to watch 10 things about you but I popped into the other lounge at the end because the fantastically fatal Slilent Witness was on!

Today I cooked some more gingerbread for the Sunday School and then went to Church. In Sunday school today we were continuing our psalms and wrote two, one about Easter and one about Christmas. It was really good fun and very creative! Anyhow now I've just got a bit of web updating and e-mailing to do and then I'm going to have some tea, socialise and go to bed!

Cherrio!

If there were no God, there would be no Atheists. - G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)

Good Morning (though you might be reading this at a different part of the day it's morning when I'm writing!). Listening to the new Chris Tomlin Album - Arriving, which is really really good! Also downloading some youth work freebies from Simply Youth Ministries Freebies Page some really great stuff avalible this month!

Last nights Supergang was ACE! We did the second part of Jonah, did some more of the paper whales we're making and played a load of games. They seem to have got the hang of sitting down and being quiet now which is great! Afterwards I bumped into some of the guys who used to be in college and had a chat with them about Bicton and what they are up to - it seems it's generally going fabulously for them - wahey!

Anyhow, today I've got some web stuff to do this morning, got the gym this lunchtime and then I'll be doing youthgroup stuff from about 4/5 till 11pm! We've got YO Club and Pre-Discovery (where we're watching a movie and eating popcorn!). As usual check out the Elevate site for more details on that by clicking here. Better go and get on with the day! God Bless

Hello today I have been mostly exercising!! I woke up this morning at the bright and early hour of 7am and after a fine cup of cha (apparently the chinese word for tea) I went down to the swimming pool where I swam two whole kiolmetres. I then came back for meeting which never took place (so I did some tidying instead) and went down to the GYM with David for about an hour and a half or so. The most exciting stuff is obviously yet to come though with Supergang club on the way. Just been helping John with his car insurance stuff and while we were filling out the forms on Endsleigh the guy for Engsliegh obviously seeing our details decided to give us a ring - How Friendly! Anne came around last night and we watched the Bourne Identity (which is a cracking film, beaten only by the Bourne Supremacy - in cinemas near you right now!) which was a very cool evening after my first cluster (which was also rather cool - I'm with nice people). Anyhow I'd better be getting on my way cos I've got to walk up to supergang and I need to buy the biscuits for the kiddies on the way! God Bless!

Been thinking hot to introduce today's entry and how to fit some sort of summary of what's been going on over the past few months. First just to let you know that I am really back, I've uploaded and updated a load of websites (http://www.bft.org.uk, http://www.aguilder.co.uk, http://www.bigfattoothbrush.co.uk, http://www.elevate.org.uk, http://www.swyming.org.uk, http://www.dansmusic.co.uk) and I've been generally starting to get fit.

Today I'm back to cluster (though I'm in a different group - The Matt Turner Cluster - kind of a South Cluster the 2nd!). Got quite a nice bunch of people I'm with which is really cool. Talking of nice people the new ice team are all very lovely. I've been meeting them all over the past few days and Anne (pronounced an-hey), Dori, Laura, Sarah and Helen are all lovely.

If your wondering what I'm up to - I'm doing youthwork! I am now Brixington Church's youth and children's worker. I'm also making myself avalible to other people if they need me to do stuff for them or if they just want to get together for a chat. I'm looking at maybe getting invovled in some secular mentoring or councilling training - though not right at the moment. Currently my days are spent writing websites and going to the gym/tennis centre/swyming pool for a couple of hours.

Anyway better go have a shower, then decorate the cheesecake for cluster. Oh Yeah I bought a great book yesterday - change the world with a fiver - visit the site http://www.wearewhatwedo.org/ it's really cool!
