feeling good yesterday was great, church lying around in the sun, then played waterpolo
going to get my last hair cut later
below is from an email Ollie the hallgroup (like cell but in halls) sent me, Its pretty cool

Pure Spiritual Power

“To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of
the water of life.” Revelation 21v6

Do you want to be productive and effective in your knowledge of Jesus Christ
today? Do you want to see results when you start reaching out to your non-
Christian friends, in you own lives and in the lives of those around you? I
don’t know about you but I do! How do you get that power?

The Bible talks a lot about the fruit of the Spirit - Love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self control (Gal
5v23). Those are the keys to you walking out your life effectively. 2 Peter
1v8 says if we possess these qualities in increasing measure that we will be
kept from being unproductive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You might be thinking “fair enough, I know that but I just can’t seem to walk
in those qualities in my life. I guess I’ve always been a kind of impatient
person. I just can’t seem to get any self control in my life.”

Well, let me tell you this. So long as you keep trying to get those qualities
by yourself, the longer you’ll stay impatient, the longer you’ll have that
lack of self control. See, that’s why Jesus said in John 15v4 that no branch
of a vine can bear fruit by itself. It just won’t happen.

Now if you remain in Jesus, if you spend time with Him, spend time in the Word
constantly and as He remains in you the Bible says you’ll bear much fruit!
(John 15v5) Isn’t that good? It doesn’t depend on your personality, your
genetic make-up – you can exhibit all those spiritual fruits in your life and
all you have to do is spend time with Him! Amen!

The best illustration is in Jeremiah 17v7,8:

But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He
will be like a tree planted by the WATER, that sends out its roots by the
STREAM. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It
has NO worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear FRUIT.

Hallelujah! As you spend time with Jesus and drink from His living waters, you
will stay green and productive when the heat comes and when the pressure is
on. Now that’s something to shout about!

just finnished another victorios waterpolo match, this time against Portsmouth, I did nets for the first have pretty pooly and then got sin binned twice in the third quater which along with one from the first half (yes as keeper!) meant i was boxed i.e could play no more, wick it wasnt being dirty just trying to go over the top of people to get the ball, a bit more skill less energy required...

i feel good ... knew that i would ... SO good etc


it is a bit sad, but i am happy cause i was just able to write a programme that ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING USEFUL, my friend sam's coursework needed data split over 5 coloumns but the file he was given had only 1 with the five bits of data in it, the problem was it was 535 rows deep so simply doing it by hand was going to be a MISSION. i wrote a programme that split it up into different files. Simple as that sounds this took me the best part of 3hrs, but now it is finnished, and i think it worked :)

apart from that my week has been pretty hectic, went out a little too much and my joints are a bit stiff, fairtrade fortnight is HAPPENING, getting signatures for a petition so the uni will swap the cafe to Fairtrade, going well, pray we get enough, and pray for a club night on Tuesday, its faritrade themed if loads of ppl show up and pay £2 in then the cost of the 2weeks of PR and events will be covered which needs to happen :)<>br
oh yeah and monday is the big day
i will begin haircuts...

i did a fundraiser where the people get to decide what hair cut i get (a bit of a change from the old head shave) its for Cape Town this summer with habitat for humanity and St Johns church, and still not too late to sponser me (it never will be!)

anyway
on monday i will be getting a mullet

then next monday a mohican

then next monday a fin ( a nice short boybandy type haircut)

Its a definate Praise the Lord event, cause not only have my skint student mates pledged over £270 pounds but the fancy uni Hairdressers have agreed to do the cuts for FREE, the power of prayer once again in action
thank you Jesus.
