08:25 / 09:25
throat slightly better.
sq drove me to station, cos poor AJ so ill and it was raining.
I'll walk up to yoof from High Brooms tonite - I'm sure RMump will give me a lift home afterwards.
not sure what to say in my 1-minute talk. Will probably say that we all have a Jesus-shaped hole in us, and that if we let Jesus fill it, life will go right.

Only 3 more yoofs till end of term (plus the last one, but I can't make that).

tomorrow is a bit of a packed day: sale thing in the am (yoof - in the persons of Sq and self and a few kids) are doing "guess the name of the cuddly dog", "guess the number of sweets in the jar" and helium-filled balloons - He He He! :0)
Then I've got the Fun Evening in the - er - evening. Hope my throat is OK - I'll be doing a lot of talking. I'm sure the Lord is well in control, and will work it all out for his glory - which is what we want, isn't it?? 0;0-)

got the 08:01, but only because it didn't arrive til 08:25.
into work 09:20
definitely got a sore throat.
eating loads of strepsils.
prayed that God would heal it, but clearly I have doubts. What's the way around this? Pray about it, obviously. God seems to be delivering answers to so many prayers, that I can't see any other way of tackling problems.

Incidentally, there are some people for whom I try to pray each week.
My prayer list is:

Mon - RHGJ & CMJ
Tue - Fluf & the girls
Wed - SH
Thu - C,M & J (may take these guys off now, as I'm not really in contact)
Fri - K & S.

Also, pray for: Liz & Roshan, Sq & Bump and occasionally David & Marion.

got the 08:25.
into work for 09:20!
the train must have been speeding.

Sq went to family meeting last night. had great time of worship, which took up most of the meeting. Also, S & C are now officially Youth Pastor (& Pastoress??!), which is great. Still, we had a not-short chat about yoof stuff afterwards.

Had coffee with K today. fab. chatted about things bothering him, things bothering me. Great chat. I found it really theraputic! I'm sure K found my advice as amazingly great as I thought it was.

Did actually replace brakes last night.
(a very oily experience).
This morning, I found, novelly, that I am able to arrest progress with some efficiency!
Chances of living to 100 now significantly improved!

btw, last wed. was birthday (37).

Have spoken to Sq.
Seems that my bd prez has at last arrived: 4-DVD LOTR 2 Towers :0)

Spent an hour or so @ church last night with Richard and Prill, rehearsing our illusion for Saturday.
We'll be on as the last act of the first half (I think it's a bit off to put yourself as the closing act of the whole thing! Plus, I'm not quite confident enough to do that ;). We came a long way - it definitely looks good if it works. I'm really glad we rehearsed - we found some dodgy angles, and were able to work out how to handle everything - where to stand, which hand to pick things up in, etc. Most importantly, we were able to work out and practise the details of how Prill gets on. I would tell you, but that would rater spoil it, wouldn't it??? ;0)
If you fancy, come along - it's this Saturday (22nd Nov 2003) at New Life Church, Speldhurst Road, Tunbridge Wells. ;0)

Got the 08:25.
On time. Into work for 09:25.
I REALLY must replace the brake blocks on my bike before I kill myself.
I think Sarah's going out tonight, so I'll do it then.

I really ought to use this blog thing.
I could just post about what I'm doing / how I'm feeling.
don't know if anyone would be interested, but you never know...

I think I'll start doing that.
perhaps tomorrow... ;)
