who?

me and Jamie went on a very, very, very long walk one day and we had a very, very, very long conversation that ended up in us repopulating the earth....not literally obviously as we are both married to different pepole. We decided who we would take with us to a desert island, why we would take them and what role they would have.

Now this onversation was a long long time ago so I cant remeber his exact answers, but it was a lot of fun.

At the time my answers were along these lines:I would take

name Job

Aaron ;)
Jamie making me laugh and making the tea (would stow shaneen away)
Adam Wise religous leader and education person (would stow T away)
Tommy well rounded vllager and music man (would stow lozza away)
Brad Pitt Can do whatever he likes ;) (can stow cst of friends away)

As I said this convo went on for some time until we had repopulated the earth and given them jobs and belongings...Suppose you had to be there!

So....which 5 people would you take and why? Remeber there are no rules and you can have stow aways :)

cute/funny...if not a lil cruel!

banana!

A man I once knew got a job as a bus conductor. It was his responsibility to collect the fares and dish out the tickets. He had a bus mans uniform and one of those little machines he wore round his neck on a strap. We'll call him Bill.

When Bill had been doing his job for some time a strange thing happened to him. One day while dishing out his tickets he saw a little old lady get on. Bill had always taken it upon himself to help little old ladies on and of the bus but today for some strange unexplained reason he had an overwhelming urge to push the lady off the bus and to the shock and amazement of all the passangers he did just this. Unfortunately the little oldlady didnt pull through.

So Bill ended up in prison on death row. When the time of his execution neared the prison warden asked him what his last request was. Bill told the warden that for his last meal he wished to have the largest bunsh of the jusiet banans he could possibly find, Bills request was granted and the night before his execution he ate every single one.

On the day of his execution (by electric chair) the executoiner told him as they do to all prisoners in his position "For the crimes for which you have commited, 10,000 volts will be passed through your body until you are dead, May God have mercy on your soul"

They pulle dthe lever and 10,000 volts was passed through his body, after 5 minutes it came to the executioners notice that not \only was Bill still alive but he was completely untouched by the electricity. The Judge ruled that he had faced his punishment and was free to go.

Through some wierd and uninformed decision, Bill got his jobback as a bus conductor, only to....you guessed it....do exactly the same ting and once again end up on death row. He asked once again for the banans fdor hisfinal rquest and then once again 10,000 volts passed through him leaving him untouched.

To cut a long story short Bill went free to commit this crime once again and again face the electric chair. At his 3rd execution they increased the voltage to 20,000 volts and once again Bill remained untouched. Th eexecutioner couldnt believe his eyes and asked "Bill whats your secret? Is is the bananas?" Bill smirked to himself, shrugged his shoulders and said no I just really like bananas...all I can say is I must be a bad conductor!!!"


The moral to this tale is never listen to bad jokes because you always end up disappointed and they are always the only one you can remember when you need a joke!!

The post with no title

dont really know why but just felt compelled to blog. My previous blogs havent really been that uplifting have they? And if I'm totally honest (and I can be because the chances that many people will read this are small) I dont really feel that uplifting today.

Tonight was worship practice....again if I'm honest I really struggle with worshpi practice and often come away with a heavy heart. Why should it be this way? Ive considered chucking it all in more than once and the reasons are as much to do with my own failings as any other issues I have. Its come to my notice that so many problems are caused in this world because we just cannot follow the commandment to love one another....why is this so hard? Its because it means denying ourselves and putting the needs of others first. Its because sometimes we have to admit we are wrong and risk feeling small and inferior. Its because well as humans we are naturally selfish and its easier to do what satisfies us than brings comfort to someone else. Its because sometimes we have to back down even when we are right and its because its easier to give in to gossip and feel part of the crowd than to move away and refuse to run someone down - remember its not enough to sit there and listen quietly!

I heard recently of a preacher whose entire sermon for several months week in week out was "love one another" it apoparently had the backs of the eldership up because they weren't paying him to preach for 3 seconds a week yet those 3 words had such an impact, they caused people to turn to others in the church and ask how they could love them today, it caused them to knock on doors and ask how they could love them, it caused members of the community to call up the church and ask is this the church that is willing to help me? How amazing is that? Surely if we are minding our hearts and asking god to deal with our self issues and concentrating on what we can do to love others rather than on what irritates us then the world would be a much better place and maybe just maybe we wouldnt be leaving church with a heavy heart.

Sorry to make my come back so deep but sometimes this is the only place I can say how I feel.

Love ya x
