During the last week or so, approaching Resurrection Sunday, for some reason I've been thinking about the Apostle Peter. I don't know why.
We first meet Peter in Matthew 4:18-20, where he and his brother Andrew were called by Jesus to follow Him. They immediately left their nets and followed him. He is then named as one of the original 12 apostles in Matthew 10:2. Jesus calls him the Rock on which Jesus will build his church, after Peter correctly identifies Jesus as the Christ.

Christianity and The Tooth Fairy
Just under a year ago, I watched this video, and it was a pinnacle moment in a long journey for me from Atheist to Agnostic to Follower of Jesus. Fascinating stuff, and proof you don't have to give up on your intellect to follow Christ!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Charles Wesley
So here's my first Good Friday as a Christian. I'm attending a walk of witness through the town centre later this morning, followed by an open-air service in the middle of the town. This is a 'churches together' event, and I'm looking forward to it.

Kids!
Hi,
Just spotted another article in my news reader that's well worth sharing: 24/7prayer.com.
The story is from a 19 year old young person talking about her work in South Africa. The story itself is very inspiring, but looking at where these words of faith come from - a 19 year old - speaks volumes to me in itself.
Young people often get such a bad press here in the UK. I work with kids, have a kid, and once upon a long time ago, I was a kid. They can be irritating and hard work at times. But when a story like this comes to light, it's worth noting. Here's a teenage girl who could be comfortably staying in the UK, being looked after by her family, and 'enjoying' a typical teenage lifestyle full of copius amounts of cheap drink, clubs and 'fun'. It's what I was doing at that age! Instead, she's out there spreading God's word in a tough place, at a very young age. God bless this young adult, and many, many others like her around the world!

Isaiah 32:17, and a catch up
"The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever" (NKJV)
I haven't posted in a while, either here or on my techie blog at mlpcoding.blogspot.com, as I've been feeling very low in spirit recently. I had a three week absence from church, in the first instance because of a karate grading, followed by a weekend where I felt I really, really needed a rest from everything (I didn't leave the house), then illness. Going back after that felt quite monumental, but go back I did.
