love?


Reading 1 john 4:7 - 5:5
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. In cell last night and again today.




What is love? Can we understand it? Can I understand it?

Is love proved in life? in death?

We all seem to want to, need to be loved, it calls from deeper than consciousness...

Should it then be left undefined? Allowed to flow freely in us as a true heart cry, a true desire?

Is there a balance? To wrestle with our minds to try and understand what we seek,

to dream of love without trying to put it in a box and rob it of its mystery....

kayne west and the craic


the legendary relivant magaine are now doing a broadband tv and if you click the picture or here you can watch Kayne West's Jesus walks video. I know its not exactly hot of the press but it is very relivant to what i have been thinking about recently.

Many a further detachment from traditional christian views, reason and rational thought as fundementals of my world view. It is the logical conclusion from a philosphey which places greater value on the spiritual than the physical but that doesnt mean it doesnt feel a bit wierd.

i felt really uncomforable at a christian union meeting last friday where they were talking about focusing on "preaching the gospel" not social action, but perfectly at home in the 24-7 boiler room in london, where people were talking about giving up their jobs to work in dodgy bars because they feel God's love for the people there.

what do yous think?

hello


This is a wee bit of design I did for a friends band, who are awesome, live vj, dj, drums, bass, 2 vocalists and one genius at the helm of it all on synth and mac. Now thats a band,

Anyway i am about to start uni again tomorrow. I am a bit disorgainised, which probably wont surprise to many of you, but this being third year and me wanted and chilled out productive year is a bit annoying.
On the plus side my room is totally transformed from a damp minging mess to a chilled out bright airy little bit of home.
Spiritually things are cool, went on a little mission to bristol cause i felt God say go. It was awesome, nothing spectacular happened just went up and hung out with emma who is a legend. We had some great chat. Was once again challenged by the grace of God. Was sitting out the back having a great chat over a cigarette with emma. Im no big smoker and obviously the damage it does long term is well known, but just in that monment to enjoy a smoke and have a deep chat felt like it was almost the reason I had come. Although I would be the first to say that smoking etc arent core issues to faith in Jesus, when it came to a moment when I was faced with the situation it was a little weird to do it and feel right about it...


anyway on a much light / cooler note here is a chance for you and me to get a free mac!! you just follow this link and sign up then do a trial eg rent a dvd from a company called Screen select. Then you will be given a link so you can get 10 friends to do the same. THEN YOU GET A FREE MINI MAC. You have to have a credit or debit card, but my house mate got an ipod from a different company for free so it does work!
