A quiet Saturday

I did not do very much today. I started working on my web stuff but got bored and hired a video instead. I need a distraction. Today was cold and wet once more.

Another "Shiraz" wednesday

It was quiet as usual this wednesday. I spent most of the day designing a new front end for my new web project. I went to the Shiraz club again in the evening. We had it a Kevin Furness's house again. There were only six of us there. To be different, Kevin supplied the wine. We had 
another vertical tasting night. We had an "04. '05, '06 and '07 Shiraz on offer. It was a good night.

"Give it a rest"

At Connect Church this morning, Ps Simon Williams preached on "Give it a rest". Basically saying that we need to rest in the Lord and not try to be too religious. I went to Holy Trinity in the evening. The preaching was from Ephesians 2. "God does all the work, not us. He is getting us ready for the good works that HE has planned beforehand". So it is of God and not of us.

I feel that I would like to give the computer a rest for a while.

A Shiraz Wednesday

It was good to have Wednesday off as usual. I kept up my studies on SQL Server, and i feel that I have gone as far as I can go for now. I went to the Shiraz club in the evening. It was at Geoff Bray's house in the evening. Simon Moten turned up and we had a vertical tasting night, ie trying out his 03, 04, 05 and 06 wines. It was interesting and a great night which was well attended.

A spiritual Sunday

I ended up going to Connect church twice today. I had to catch the bus for the morning service as Simon was not available. Jossy Charko preached at both services. He is the founder of Empart ministries, which is based in India. He preached very well. He had a prophetic word for the church and that is that "This churches best days are ahea dof it".

He also preached that God would restore those promises he had made many years ago. I feel that that is relevant to me.

Funeral of an old friend

This week, my good friend Colin Pilcher passed away after a fall at his home. I have known Colin for more than 40 years and it was sad to se...
