Got this in my inbox today, some good sentiments and questions, but I'm not for this in your face evangelise to strangers way of following Christ. But hey each to there own and its worth a read.

IF SOMEONE HAD A GUN HELD IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND ASKED YOU IF YOU BELIEVED IN GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? SAY NO AND FEEL ASHAMED THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? OR SAY YES, I DO, AND DIE STANDING UP FOR GOD?

IF YOU WOULD SAY YES, AND STAND UP FOR JESUS CHRIST, PLEASE READ THIS AND PASS ON. resurrected: (I'm not suggesting you do as I don't like the email chainletter thing, but feel free if you want)

Note: This is a true article that was printed in a southern US newspaper less then a year ago

There was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord. One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with each other and the dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself. The little gir l watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone know who this is?" The little girl said, "I do, that's the man who was holding me the night my parents died."

If you believe this little girl is telling the truth that even though she had never heard of Jesus, he still held her the night her parents died, then you will forward this to as many people as you can. resurrected: (again this was on the original and I'm not suggesting you do)

Or you can delete it as if it never touched your heart.

Funny, isn't it?

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.

Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. (Or is it scary?)

Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.

Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address lis t because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

Funny how we can go to church for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. (Are you laughing?)

Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. (Are you thinking?)

Pass this on only if you mean it.

Yes, I do Love God!

resurrected: Yes and I also love my wife, but I don't feel the need to tell everyone about it in a direct way. But if you meet me I hope you would see that I do without me needed to spell it out to you.

Finally some one comes up with the actual reason that IT is so poorly used in the UK, rather than the usual IT managers not business oriented enough rubbish.

Well the 19th went past, another Bus Pass! But I have a date for completion now, 2nd December. No more Bus Pass watching.

When did life all become so complicated, I remember 10 years ago when I started my working life having an absolute blast. Has it changed so much is is it just that you remember the good and forget the bad?

Anyway tonight I am going to watch last nights Horizon on "The Bible Code", I'll comment here tomorrow (unless Finding Nero on DVD takes my fancy instead!!)

Snappy Answer #1

A lady was picking through the frozen chickens at the supermarket,
but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked the
shelf stacker, "Do these chickens get any bigger?" He replied,
"No, they're dead."

Snappy Answer #2

The policeman got out of his car and the lad who was stopped for
speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all
day," the policeman said. The lad replied, "Yeah, well I got here
as fast as I could." When the policeman finally stopped laughing,
he sent the lad on his way without a ticket.

Snappy Answer #3

A lorry driver was driving along. A sign comes up that reads "low
bridge ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him
and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.
Finally, a police car comes up. The policeman gets out of his car
and walks around to the lorry driver, puts his hands on his hips
and says, "Got stuck?" The lorry driver says, "No mate, I was
delivering this bridge and ran out of petrol."

Watched a BBC program on SKY+ yesterday called Does Prayer Work? It was based on the MANTRA project run by Duke University Medical Center.

Basically a scientific study to see if prayer can contribute to better success in heart patient treatment. In the outcome were some interesting stats. They had quiet a good mix of commentators as well which aired all the good things and the concerns you could think of.

You know its bad when you start to time your life by a bus pass!
One of my projects is late and since August i've looked at my monthly pass thinking "by next renewal we'll be live"

This one expires on the 19th.

Well we went to Church today, first time in ages! Quite a success really. It is also good to hear we may be starting up a creche again, which will be great for our eldest who has ants in his pants and is still too young to understand "sit still"!

Also I have been thinking about being content we what I have and people who are always bitter because they compare what they have to what others. Then I turned on the TV today and was flicking through the news channels and this verse popped up on CNBC , uncanny!
