Well I don't know what you made of the whole "Live Earth" thing. Personally I was pretty scepitical about the whole thing. Global Warming seems to be one hell of a problem, with no easy or even tangible solution. At least with something like Make Poverty

I was reading through Daniel 5 today. In the story, a hand comes down out of nowhere during a feast that the King of Babylon is having, and starts writing on the wall. Daniel is called to interpret the words, which he does: Mene: God has numbered the

Ok, so it was almost 10 weeks ago now. But I've only just sent out the last thankyou card, and I've only just uploaded the photos. So let's say it was last week and run with it, k? Thanks heaps to Shannon and Chelsea for taking all the photos. There are

Since when did Hot Cross Buns become Easter Buns? The Cross on these buns is the only reference that remains to what Easter is all about! It's not about chocolate bunnies, 4-day weekends, time with family and fruit cakes. It's about the CROSS. It's about

Ok, so it's been a while since my last post. I guess life at home is just a little more boring than travelling the world. Mind you, that doesn't mean that a lot hasn't happened. The engagement party, starting full-time work and a "mysterious website that

Well Cheney 's in town, stirring up the lefties and causing traffic chaos. I saw his motorcade go past today while I was walking in the city. The motorcycle police seemed to be having a jolly-good time, angle-grinding their bikes as they skidded dangerously

That's what my body has become. A shivering mess of frozen fingers and toes. I'm in Boston, and it's -15 degrees Celsius, with winds gusting up to 30mph - in other words, it's bloody cold! But no snow of course - just lots and lots of ice. Seeing as I

We arrived by train, Graham and I, just as the prisoners would have. Sachsenhausen. It's just another town on the outskirts of Berlin, with normal people, in their normal houses, doing their normal things. But after just a short walk through the town,

It's 6pm, and I'm at my hostel in Spain. Not without a bit of trouble tho, what with the flight from Egypt being delayed until 2am, missing my connecting flight by a matter of minutes, and then getting desperately lost in the streets of Sevilla (in all

Let me just say, for the record, riding a camel is really uncomfortable - particularly for a guy! In Aswan, we rode camels for 1hr through the desert to St. Simon's Monastery. This monastery was actually one of the earliest Christian churches. With the
