It's bean a coffee kinda weekend!

I am tired! It most probably has something to do with driving over 500 miles in 4 days!

It all started on Thursday! After being ratified as VP at CU, I left with Louise, Alison and Dave (who had just been ratified as treasurer). Ratified is such a funny word, sounds like an operation or something! Anyways the four of us left about half an hour into the CU AGM so that we could get to Perth for the Switchfoot concert! Which was brilliant, Perth Concert hall has a sprung floor, which was very nice when everybody was jumping around! After some excellent manouvers Louise and I were 3 from the front in the middle! Louise even got to shake Jon, the lead singers, hand! It was then a nice drive back down the A9 in a lot of fog! I eventually got hom at 2am!

Then came Friday, a 2 hour tutorial at 9, then PE was cancelled in the afternoon. At 3 i headed off again, this time to Dundee to stay the night with angela. We had dinner n caught up on each other's news and then went to DUCU (Dundee University Christian Union, incase you couldn't be bothered working it out!) and then to Tesco, don't you just love late night trips to Tesco, ah the hilarity! Saturday morning i had some breakfast and then dropped Angela off at a conference she was going to and headed up the road to Aberdeen! However on the way there a lorry had gone off the side of the road into a ditch and there was a crane there to pick it up, so our side of the road was closed and we all turned off at the junction to Fettercairn. And i was driving along thinking, I've only been to Aberdeen once, and i don't know how to get there now! :( But i just followed the car infront and we all went on a nice little detour at 50 on a (just about) single track road! Twas gr8 fun! I then got to Aberdeen and met Lorna, we had lunch and got a few bits and pieces and headed up to Peterhead!

You haven't experienced true driving until you've driven from Aberdeen to Peterhead, with no shelter from the North Sea and the wind pounding the side of your car! After arriving in P'head, I was taken out for coffee with all the Small females! aka Mrs Small, Lorna, Claire and Alison. Then we watched a film before Lorna, Claire and I went for a chinese with 4 others from their church. Then back to the house to watch the results of Dancing on ice, and Gareth (who was on my Step Out Plus team all summer, and who i hadnt seen since August) came round for a cup of tea! Then it was bed before getting up to go to church. After lunch and watching American Idol i went with the entire Small family (minus Stewart (their brother) who wasnt there) to see their new house, which isnt even finished yet, the interior walls went in last week. From there i headed back to Dundee to have dinner with Angela before driving the last 2 hours home to Glasgow! And that was my 500 miles!

Sorry that was such a boring post! I'll think of some funny stories to tell you next time!

My weekend was a great time of fellowship with friends from all over the place! :)
"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. " Acts 2:42

Wow, long time no blog!

Yeah, so I totally got out of the routine of blogging!

Ive been learning a lot about blogs recently! Did you know that there are a large number of primary schools using blogs to let the children give book reviews, share poetry, tell stories of teddies and all sorts of things!

Hmm, but this is my blog, not my 'reflective blog!'
So what's been happening, not an awful lot! Back into the swing of things at uni! The workload seems neverending at the moment! There's always reading of some sort to be done! But you will be amazed to hear that i have already read the 3 chapters for 2moro!

I was talking to Alastair and Louise the other day about me having not update my blog (theirs have been updated more recently than mine!) and i was saying that I wanted to have a little rant about people taking dogs on buses! I saw two different people, with two different dogs, on two differnt bus routes in one week! What is with that? Why would you take your dog on the bus? I just don't understand that! Lol!

On saturday I was at a training course for people thinking about running a course called 'Lost For Words' which gets Christians to look at evangelism and how they can do it more naturally. It was really interesting. One of the questions we were asked was 'what do people believe today?' There was answers like 'Its ok for you to believe that, but i'll believe this' or 'you can just pick and chose the bits that you like from the different religions'. I didn't say this answer, but I think it's pretty true of some of the students (and friends) i've spoken to at Toastie bar, I think people today believe that Hell is going to be a great place. I think they probably have the view that being a Christian is boring, therefore since Christians go to Heaven, Heaven must be boring, and if you don't go to Heaven, then you go to Hell, so Hell must be brilliant! But Im sorry, that's not the case, Hell is not fun, is not a party, rave or whatever else. It's a terrible place, the Bible describes it as everlasting punishment (matt 25:46), everlasting fire (matt 25:41), everlasting burnings (Isa 33:14), a furnace of fire (Matt 12:42, 50), a lake of fire (Rev 20:15), fire and brimstone (Rev 14:10), unquenchable fire (Matt 3:12) and a devouring fire (Isa 33:14). Sounds like a great place to me... Or not!!!

At small group our conversations quite often go on little tangents and we end up talking about Heaven. Here are some of the descriptions or ideas that we've had for Heaven:
An escalator to take you there
A disco ball
Rivers abundant with chocolate of no calorific value
Awesome!
and a personal favourite 'amazing to the power amazing!'

Jesus refers to Heaven as paradise (Luke 23:42) So in short Heaven is going to be amazing, Hell isn't!

Am off out to dinner now! Switchfoot are playing at Perth tomorrow night! Woohoo! Shall maybe blog about it later this week! ;)
