YOUTH ALPHA

What a night! Tonight we had 30 people pile round our house as part of the church youth groups Alpha course. We looked at the topic of the Bible, is it relevant today and how should we read it. We looked at the top 20 Best Selling Books of all Time and discover that the Bible was the number one bestseller at almost 6 billion sales, with number two a mere 900 million! Almost all the books in the top 10 (apart from Agatha Christies "And then there were none") were spiritual books, showing that we all have a desire to find out more about spiritual things. All of J K Rowlings books were in the top 20 with sales of over 50 million for each book - Wow!

After discussing the bible we broke into small groups to answer some questions and that is where I discovered the random mind of young people. We started off with questions on the Bible and ended up discussing whether elephants could swim or not! I have got no idea how we even got to that point - I think it was something to do with Noahs Ark, but not too sure.

Oh, well. It seems the Bible is alive and well and keeping the world talking even if it is random!!!

DELETE

Ok, so my video of Rich got a lot of interest from all around the globe and he takes back his comment that "no one reads blogs", in return I have deleted the incriminating video (although I still have a copy...)

You know when they say "hit any key to delete"?

Found it!!!!!

Being Uncle Sim!

The most common question on a Monday morning is "What did you do over the weekend?". For most people it will be something like - watched a movie, saw some friends, visited family, bought a puppy, etc. Which is fine, normal in fact! This weekend my niece, Amy asked me to video her and her friends for a school drama project. So, the whole family got involved including Lottie and all the children and I had the job of being the camera man. As you can imagine it took a lot longer than expected and we ended up with a 30 minute video! Below I have attached a clip of my brother in law, Rich showing us his acting ability for your amusement - I am sure he won't mind as he reckons no one reads blogs!!!!
