God loved it anyway!

So i got to Wednesday, and a lot of it was spent sleeping, and letter writing! and I finally filled in my form to get my proper driving licence! woohoo! no more green, just pink for me!

Thursday i didn't have anything planned, so i took the opportunity to do something on my 'to do before i die' list, which was to walk into Glasgow from Bearsden! I think its about 6 miles or so, but it was a gorgeous day and i had some 'drumming of support from local businesses in Bearsden for the Romania Project Golf Event' to do, so i did that on my way into town! For those of you who know the area i walked from Bearsden to Canniesburn Roundabout, then along the switchback to Anniesland (where i bought a sausage roll) and then to Jordanhill and then Partick (where i bought a packet of Carrots and a bottle of Orange Juice from MacDonalds!) and then along Dumbarton Road, then Sauchiehall Street. It took me 2 hours and 15 mins and was fantastic! so if you're ever bored you should try it sometime!

Thursday evening at CU was training for the Gospel Drops that we're doing this week. It was a really good session, Sean (our UCCF relay worker) did a couple of talky bits on what the Gospel is and why we shoudl be sharing it, and then we did some role play! In the role plays we had to tell our partner the Gospel, and they got to ask really difficult questions! (this was also reciprocated when we swapped roles!) then later on we had to join up with another pair and pretend that 2 of us were the students in the flat, 1 who was open to hearing it, and the other who was basicall rude! then the other 2 had to ask us questions and we again got to ask really difficult questions! It was a good laugh, and also very helpful discussing the answers to the difficult questions that we all know and don't really like to answer. After CU it was snack tea, and then off to the Union to play pool (oh yeah Chris, the pool tokens that were in my other bag, weren't actually, they were in the bag that i had with me! oops!!). There was a lot of very good pool playing, however none of it was mine, as i managed to jump the white ball over the blue ball that i wanted to hit and straight into a pocket. I also managed to whack myself in the mouth with the pool queue! yeah, the less said about my pool playing the better!

Friday was Uni! double tutorial on emergent literay in 2, 3 and 4 year olds! did you know that all babies are pre-programmed to babble? Then it was a 3 hour wait until our lecture! much card playing was done, and yeah we did get pretty bored! Gillian went home after the tutorial because on Thursday night in the off-licence where she works, they were held at knife point and made to hand over the money from the till, plus she got her bag and everything in it stolen! so she was going home to try and get some sleep, as she hadnt slept the night before!
Ooh Firday night was Andrew (Strong's) 21st ceilidh in Bishopbriggs! Twas good fun as always! and Jiggered were the ceilidh band of choice again! I have now been to 5 ceilidhs since September, 4 of which Jiggered played at!

Saturday Tesco (10 till 2 this week!) then i slept for a few hours in the afternoon, and then it was just Stuart and i watching random stuff on TV coz the parents were out for dinner! Then it was Sunday! i was on Sunday school, and we talked about serving God and got onto talking about the band and the music for that nights EPIC, so of the group would be playing and were worried that they's muck it up because they didn't know chords or beats etc.! but i was assuring them that it didn't matter if the music got mucked up because God would love it anyway! Then last night at EPIC i was leading the worship with Fiona (Shields) and it was all going fine until the last song 'Above All Powers'. For this song Alastair (muir) was to play a chord on the guitar and then Fiona and i were to start singing, on the right note at the right speed, we practiced this i think 3 times, only getting to sing 'Above all Powers' the first line of the song. Then during the service i dont actually think Fiona was ready to sing, and i came in on completely the wrong note, like it couldn't have been more wrong! so i laughed and said 'sorry that was really bad' expecting them to start again, but no they kept going and the verse was sooo low that no-one could sing it, and then the chorus was so high that no-one could sing it! It was embarassing but hilarious! and as i said to the kids, God loved it anyway!
