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! ;)
