there is a verse from revelations which has been running thru my head - it's the one where john has the vision of the messages given to the seven churches and is found in rev 3.1-3 and says, "i know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. wake up! strengthen what remains and is about to die, for i have not found your deeds complete in the sight of [...]

so i was thinking about this today and i think i tend to slip into writing stuff (sometimes) for the blog with a half eye on how many hits it will get and 'how popular it is becoming' [it's not] and so on and i really want to get back to the original intention which was to express my thorts and mind and dreams and wrestlings and humourisms here mainly for me - i do [...]
