a stretch limo!

Ok not a great photo but this is James May's creation (as in guy of Top Gear). They all had to create a limo. James cut two cars in half and then stuck them back together. Unfortunatly there was a problem with the steering & so for tight turns the passenger would have to jump into the other driving seat to anti-steer. (if that makes any sense at all!) so anyway basically both cars worked they were just glued together to make it a 'limo' what would happen if there were two drivers & they couldnt decide which way to go would the car cut itself in half?

2 people will see my thinking in this but to everyone else enjoy the randomness of top gear!

Are you sitting comfortably? good then MOVE

Have you noticed that when you sit in the same place on a sofa the cushion never gets back to it's originally flufed-ness?
Have you noticed that unless we keep searching for what God is trying to tell us we're just bobbing along in life waiting to die?
Have you noticed that chocolate tastes so much better when you've given it up for lent?
Have you noticed that your friends have always got news to fill you in on?
Have you noticed how God also wants to tell us stuff constantly?
Have you noticed that a cuppa tea is really good at filling up a gap in ur belly when you realise it really is too early to cook dinner but you're a bit peckish?
Have you noticed that people see church as a building?
Have you noticed that I've written the same 4 words 8 times so far?
Have you noticed when we are comfortable we are also bored?
Have you noticed that if you didnt have anything to do in a day you'd drive yourself mad of nothingness?

Christianity isn't supposed to be a comfortable way of life (Jesus didnt exactly have it easy did He & we're supposed to be trying to live like Him so why do we think it should be comfortable?)

If you aren't being challenged & feeling uncomfortable then move till you are.


(for once I dont care what people reading this make of it just wanted to get it off my chest. Take from it what u will)

Getting Tim Hughes to Christmas Number 1

Hi everyone!

There's a thingy on Facebook at the mo about getting Tim Hughes to number 1 for christmas & apparently that means we need to get loads of people to download his song between the 12th & 18th December (I don't understand how it works but there we go!) the guys that have thought up this weird idea have chosen Happy Day on the Holding Nothing Back album.
If you wanna see this crazy mission completed then please do!

The guys have said they're not trying to annoy non-Christians but just show that Christian music isn't all 'shine Jesus shine' (I was coming home the other day with a guy who actually said do we still just sing that & the burning oil song lol!)

Hope you're all well?? be back in sunny Romford soon just gotta get thru these three assignments first!......

(My MSN name 2day is 'thou shalt work, thou shall NOT go on facebook' it lasted 2 hours!!!) HELP IM ADDICTED!!! oh well I'll stop waffling and get back to geography oh the joys!!!

Groovy lights....! Jude's moment of waffleage....! not very interesting I'm afraid!

Hello all,
how are you this dull wet and grey Sunday??! Yea I got cold today not too impressed but Sutton is finally looking swish! David (as in the big bro) sorted out the lights this week and the screen + projector are all working we even have a screen thingy on the back wall so people at the front can see & people in the back (and for short people like me wen ur uncle's head is in the way of the first 2 words...!)

I've just had a really bizarre Sunday I was doing Sparklers & was expecting to go out during the offering as usual but no after like the 2nd song (Amazing my fave song Geraldine Latty's Dance of our God!) we went out I aint got the slightest clue wat the meeting was about but got stuck into hand and finger printing upstairs in our new room wooohooo!
After a lot of tidying up a few of us treked 2 Nandos (so stupid putting Nando's @ da top of the high street wen we're at the bottom I'm gonna make a petition to amke them move...!) after lunch we wandered back to the hall (a. cause it was raining & cold & the hall now has heating!! and b. Ben had to show his mum round the new building) anyway we had like 2 hours till alpha so in true Sutton style the techy stuff is turned on & a jam session errupts with light show in tow!
...slight headache from the volume but overall was HILARIOUS! (is that how u spell that?!)
People started turning up for Alpha so we were brought back into the real world & realised we should face the weather & get bk to uni, since being bk I've warmed up with 2 cups of tea a Friends sit-a-long & half of Sister Act before realising I should not fall asleep & so should write this 2 make my eyes focus!
I know this is a bit of a weird blog coz it's just me talking rubbish but basically I needed to occupy myself coz I'm majorly BORED!

Question of the day
:does anyone know of a website to help you set up a website???

Messages of the day
: church aint a building church is people - see I do listen to things people say! (not that it was Richard but hey don't always get messages from the people 'in charge' just people switched in to the big guy upstairs!)
:a hat doesn't need to be called a head hat coz it's a recognised item of clothing but if we made hats for ears (...no not ear muffs) we'd have to call them ear hats to identify them... RANDOM!

Anyway I fink I mite have an early nite tonight (I'm soooo not a sterotypical student!)

the temptations... but isn't God great

just wanted to share this for those of you that haven't recieved it on facebook.
enjoy???

Your main event...

A super duper person asked me 2day how my main event was? I didn't come home at the weekend to come along but I've been getting mixed messages about the whole event & I've realised how vast and diverse we are as a group of people and I'm not sure we can ever get stuff right... What I mean (even tho I may not be making any sense watsoever!) is that the parents/ adults seen to have had a great time and felt all powered up and stuff but the younger groups seem to not have enjoyed it as much. Is this because some groups refuse to listen to God or because people are telling us stuff that doesn't fire us up. Like when we're at roots and the speakers are like we need your money to help this, this and this as kids we really do want to help but we can't coz the money we have in our pockets is for our dinner later whereas adults have a magic piece of plastic so you can instantly get involved wivout 1st having 2 run off & ask lovely ma and pa if you can have sum extra money....
(this is prob all a bit of a mix of thoughts so I do apologise!)
When I was younger I wrote at a youth event of sum sorts that if we were going to have flats on top of our church we should buy one as a church and give it 2 sum1 trying to turn their life around. In my head this was all very feesible and I couldn't see why it wouldnt work I just didnt know how on earth I would go about convincing the grown ups to listen to me... do our kids get the opportunity to be really honest with us about their ideas?? This africa trip next yr is an amazing opportunity for the youth and stuff but did we ask them if they'd prefer to do something in England??? just a thought... maybe we as adults need to not run away with what we think is really exciting without pausing to think about how the younger generation can get involved (and I mean really involved)
At Roots this year I know a bunch of people from Romford got all excited bout stuff that's gonna b happening over the next couple of years and stuff but personally I don't feel it and that worries me we should be as one fighting against the evil stuff but if we can't tell people what we're all excited about and to get people on board then how can we be one???

(sorry 4 my mixed up thoughts...!) (and sorry if I make no sense just ignore this post really!)

Not sure what to call this 1.....!

Hi!
I've just got in from C.U and we've been talking about 'How to Pray' and 'Why we should pray.' The guy speaking used the A.C.T.S set way to pray which is ok I guess some people do use a set step-by-step prayer thing but I just can't do that! I've noticed as well that whenever I pray in groups I pray with my eyes open and talk with my hands like I'm just tlkin 2 the people I'm praying with... Is that wrong... should I talk differently when I talk to God to when I talk to my friends...?
I know prayer is a very personal thing and everyone prays differently and stuff so what works for one person might not work for someone else but I was very aware today that I don't pray like anyone else in our group of 6 (maybe in a bigger group someone would pray as I do... I dont know!)

Anyway don't know why I just blabbered on really coz what I was gonna waffle about was how irritating it is to be treated like your stupid when you're really not.... Just gonna get this off my chest coz it really annoyed my whole class (of 15...!)
we were in ICT (yes 4 hrs.... AHHH!) anyway our task over the week was to produce a powerpoint slide on a ICT term. Fair enough we all managed this without any trouble but then our tutor went on for like another 15mins talking about the importance of using contrasting colours between your text and background. This wouldn't of been so bad if any of us had used colours that made it hard to read the text but NON OF US HAD! we all know full well you need to be able to read the text so WHY waffle for 15mins telling us something we obviously ALL know!!!! Ah! (sorry to moan it's just irritating!) (and besides I need to beat Glyn now that I'm moving up Kirst's list!!)
