  • Back to Normal

    Getting back to normal now after a rather inactive week. Did spend some time learning some new web-skills whilst I was supposed to be off sick. I'm impressed with Dreamweaver and have been using it to develop a postnuke website for someone and I feel very pleased with the results. It is not finished yet,…

  • Guest Sermon Slot

    I'm not preaching myself today, but thought that I would include a guest sermon. It is 40 years since Martin Luther King stood and gave the following speech Delivered o­n the stepsat the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC o­n August 28, 1963. It bears re-reading all these years later.Preaching to change worlds by.”I am happy…

  • 100 Things About Me

    I've added a section to the site called 100 Things About Me.  It can be found in the new menu o­n the left. I'd be interested in anyone who has trouble accessing the menu as it is part of a new menu module that I added last night to the site. In case anyone is interested,…

  • Union

    Last night two of the churches in Bridge of Allan ceased to exist. Chalmers Church and Holy Trinity Church are no more. They came together in a Service of Union in the building formerly used as Holy Trinity yesterday evening – a service which I was surprised not to be invited to. Union seems to…

  • Blood and Custard

    I never intended the colour scheme of this site to last as long. I just changed a very basic template from lime green and purple to the current blood and custard. It took me rather longer than I expected and the theme is far from finished. I may stay with the colours however, or at…

  • Health Update

    Kelvin: Operation completed successfully o­n Tuesday – no complications. I am in awe of the surgeon.Tilly: Sticky paws and a bad temper. She is in awe of the vet. [The bad temper is a sign of normality].

  • On the Blog

    I'm going to have an operation o­n my mouth today. Yeuch. I will continue to appear to blog over the next few days, but some of the entries will have been written and posted in advance. Yesterday was a bumper day – the largest number of people reading this so far. The website served up about 90…

  • Working for an Inclusive Church

    I'm impressed with the o­n-line petition that has been set up o­n www.inclusivechurch.net, in response to the events in the Church of England this summer. I've signed it and would recommend that anyone who wants an open and inclusive church does so. The fundamentalist parts of the church seem to want to dictate who is…

  • Sunday Sermon – 24/8/03 Fighting the Good Fight

    The Whole Armour”How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.”So said the psalmist in the psalm we read together this morning (Psalm 84).One of the things which I tend to do when I am o­n holiday is to make for the dwelling places of the Lord of hosts ? or at least make…

  • Buying a TV

    I've just bought a television. I've lived for about 5 years without o­ne, but have decided that the time had come to try having it in the house again. I'm going to be off work this week following a minor operation I'm having o­n my mouth o­n Tuesday. The TV is supposed to help. I wonder…
