this started out as a hashtag on Twitter i believe, but why should everyone else miss out on the fun... so far we have such winners as: Anne Hirsch for North Pole Volting, Synchronised Swinging and Underwater singing Bruce Collins for Field Hickey and Archrivalry and of course i have been going crazy but amongst my suggestions are such diverse elements as: Cross Country Music, Intimate Frisbee, Underwater Signing, Corgi Putt, Table Tenants, Stolen Television [...]
'I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.' [vs.1] If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and change your... ...pace? i won't lie, i used to sing "face" as the last word of that popular Michael Jackson song, and i still do from time to time... but wot a great way to start a psalm and a day or week or year...

i do have a second lesser known blog called 'the simple weigh' where the idea is to hold two different ideas up against each other and also to document some of our travels as we are part of the Simple Way community in Philadelphia, Americaland... and i just posted a big risk and an incredible follow-up which is the story of last nite's happenings at the youth week i am currently speaking at in the [...]
'I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.”'[vs.1] strong opening line and one we could all learn from, which James picks up and runs with in chapter 3.1-12 which includes these warnings: 'With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. [...]
so when i am bored or creative or feeling that little bit extra'ly silly i make videos called 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' as a character called Brad Fish who speak a bit different like and look at a different topic which you might have think was innocentful but will soon discover can be dangerist in many different forms or ways... there are now 17 of these which i shamelessly plug on facebook and [...]
there is a difference between people who play games and game players - the people who commented on the intro to this blog series post that they love 'Balderdash' and '30 Seconds' are people who play games... for game players [and it's not a judgemental difference, just a difference] are the kinds of people who can invest some serious time in a game for both the vibe of the game [people who play games] and [...]
my family and friends have always played a lot of games [except for my dad, he hates games with a passion, his favourite is sitting in the lounge reading his newspaper while the rest of the family plays trivial pursuit and shouting out all the answers, but that's about the closest he gets] but my mom and my sisters love games, and the large majority of friends in my and now our friend ship circles [...]
'Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me. Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.' [vs. 1-4] Um, wait, what? This must be one of those other psalms, right, [...]
'Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.' [vs. 7] this brings to mind the more well known psalm 46.10 line of 'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.' i use this verse a lot when writing welcome letters to people coming [...]
another psalm from David and again, it appears as if he hadn't committed his major facefall yet as he is still muttering about those who have "no fear of God before their eyes." [vs. 1] but once he has gotten over looking at "them" and "their awful sin" he has some useful things to say [so useful we turned them into songs... from songs into other songs that it] Your love, Lord, reaches to the [...]
