From mouths of babes...


I get home from my Monday evening trip to Faith House to discover that our laptop has given up; not only that, the entire HD seems to have been wiped in an effort to rectify the lost cause that has been our laptop.

Kate - exasperated declares "well that is that then - it is well and truely finished..."

7 year old Eryn delighted says "oh goodie .... now we can have an Apple...!"
I have always said we should listen to the the wisdom of our children...!

Hi Gordon,

It must be the season when laptops die. Mine did the same, they seem to think it is the motherboard. An Apple looks like a good idea for me as well.

Sympathies, Gordon - our FDF proved implacable and I now have a very neat little HP laptop...I do like it, but it definitely isn't a Mac (and thus cost a good £700 less)

Lost Voices of Mission...Fred Brown

Along the world famous Oxford street in London's Westend; nestled in among the classy frontage of designer shops there is almost an unnoticeable, unimpressive wooden door. It is more or less alongside The Regent Hall's main entrance onto the busyness of Oxford Street. People pass the wooden door oblivious to the equally unimpressive wooden steps that go up three storey's to what was Regent Hall's youth club. When I was 10 I played on these bare wooden steps totally unaware of the significance behind and upon which I played. Many years later I discovered a university youth work course - as an induction to Youth Work - stopped outside this insignificant wooden door to point out that Youth Work as we know it in the UK started behind this door. ...whether that be the surbanite flower people that flooded the Westend to express their free love; or the hard core drug community this unimpressive wooden door became the 'portal' that blurred encounter between church an

Types of Christian Spirituality...

It is easy to think and to limit ourselves to a single approach to Christian spirituality. A 'if it works for me it should work for you approach' tends to narrow our appreciation of other ways which actually impoverishes our experience of spirituality. Urban T.
