Haven't been here in a while (forgot how to get in!!). I've spent some time over the last few days checking out mySpace... I'm liking the way it works, and to be honest, I'm liking the breakdown of barriers between bands and mere people: it's a strange feeling the I have my face on a website for bands I love, and that they (or their team of mySpace gurus) have looked at my space. It's also good to be able to keep up with peoples news, read their bizarre questionaires (adam!), and steal their friends (also, check out some of retrofect's friends - interesting bunch!!!).
It has that friendsreunited feel about it too, where you can looked names of people you used to know and check out how they're doing, or not, as the case maybe (it is saddening when you come across somebody who had so much potential that seems to be falling into a bad way, makes me realise how far i've come, and how it could still be if i had taken some hard choices..)
Kinda sums up how I'm feeling at the moment, like the world is rushing by, everythings a bit big and scary. Within two months, I'll be married, be living in a new house, learning to live out in the big bad world as a proper functioning couple. But, you know what, I got a helmet, and I feel safe and confident. so much so that i can now see the 'big bad' world as something to right stuck into, to enjoy, to influence and to try to change for the better. I may not have the same dreams for local community and youth as many of my friends, but I have been feeling the burdon of the glory of the cross weighing on my heart, and I feel a space a for to try to live the gospel in my own sphere. Be it the world of construction, science, academia, or who knows what, boy do they need it...
I'm trying for a new job at present, for many reasons: to get out from my current job (from the shadow of an overbearing manager and lazy supervisor), to push into something new, to be able to live a resource to my church, and to be Jesus to a greater range of people. Oh yeah, and a company car!!! So prayer for that would be much appreciated, it's certainly not a given, over 40 people have applied, I don't really have the experience needed, and even if i dont get it, i'll keep on pushing other directions...
Anyway, just to finish off, check out Iain Archer, known of him for a while, he's involved with Snow Patrol and the Reindeer Section, and also Duke Special (remember him Jon?). Just bought Flood the Tanks from iTunes. pretty cool...
Good Bless
PS, i just figured out how to put in links!!!
