Game on for God!

On Fire for God

My wife went to Cherish at ALM and is certainly on fire for God she has come back renewed and strengthened.  she takes no rubbish anymore from people with rotten theology or opinions.  She has grown so much over the last 2 weeks and I see a big change in her she has grown more confident and a real blessing to be about. Hallelujah!!

I have been away for a couple of days doing some work and then returned last night to preach at a church in Motherwell. I really enjoyed it this morning with a nice friendly bunch who have a lot of potential.  I enjoyed preaching from 1 Kings 19, Galatians 3 and Luke 8 -  God revealed so much to me that I had not seen or thought about before.  Our God is an awesome God who uses people like me to serve His Church.  Love it.

I am going to have a bit of a rant now with regard to facebook and people using it to publish other peoples view points without having their own.  One particular person always writes what someone else is saying/doing/did say/believes etc.  They never however, put their own thoughts down they  obviously agree with what the person they are reading/listening to but they always quote them verbatum and very rarely put anything in their own words if it were an essay it would be plagerism so please be original and not predictable on facebook.

My family are all well and doing great.  Looking forward and praying for a holiday soon but nothing planned we have an idea of where we want to go but praying and saving tomake it a reality.  #4 daughter is 5 in 2 weeks and #1 boy is 3 in 2 months to the day.

Football and looking forward to getting back to it which will be in the next 2 weeks when we all get back together again and go for Div 2 plus at least 2 cups.  World Cup and what a dissapointment looking forward to Brazil tonight and hopefully a good game of football.  Can anybody answer the question why do we have to listen to things about England during every half time, full time and highlight programme?  No wonder no one wants them to win it!!

Recent Blessings

We have a new car which really was a blessing from heaven.  We have prayed for a seven seater for a number of months now and 2 weeks ago that prayer was answered. 

I have also been blessed indirectly through my wife going to Cherish at ALM with Charlotte Gambil, Lisa Bevere and Marie De Jong.  They have certainly inspired her and given her a goal and ambition as to what she sees herself doing.  In turn this has inspired me as well and I love it. 

ALM is one of those places where you go to reignite that fire/passion for God that can suddenly become a smouldering emba when all you do is work for a church and when you aren't doing that you are attending one.  When you go to ALM you see the passion, the hard work, the vision and how God is working in ordinary peoples lives because he is at the centre of theirs - No religious rubbish, no rules and regulations except for Gods and oh what a difference it makes.  They let God work through them rather than letting the rules run the show.  The spirit is allowed to flow and do its work.  Awesome and I will be going in November to the mens conference and hopefully I will get out of Xcel what my wife has got out of.

Next major decision is whether to get a.......... or not the wife says I can but not sure if she means it??  Decisions, decisions.

As for football I will not be supporting England and would really love to see Brazil win it again for the 6th time.  In all honesty as long as football wins and not England I will be happy.  It has to be better than 2006.  Favourite world cup moment was when the Brazil team that won in Japan by beating |Germany 2 nil in the final and they all prayed as one Awesome!!

St. Andrew's are getting ready to start pre season in a few weeks and we still have the same team as last year all bar 1 which is great news another couple of additions to the squad and we will be ready to take on Div 2 next season.
