Rebekah and I recently holidayed in Israel and while there I wondered what it would would happen if I created a facebook page to let Jesus speak from the scriptures He said in the Bible.
There would be no opinion, little promotion, just see if His words would be as infectious and life changing on Facebook as they have been in other contexts in History.

You kind of have to go with the flow on mission trips, not allowing things which would be an annoyance at home, becoming a problem when you're away. Snoring is one such thing.

We left the comfort of Mount Elgon Hotel to begin the car journey back to Kampala in time for a vision day with An Open Door management team. Being the smallest person on the trip I volunteered to sit in the middle back seat of the car, which is fine for a 20 minute journey but not the best thing in the world for a five hour journey - feels like you have ridden a horse for a day or two by the end of it.

On the plane travelling from Amsterdam to Uganda, Gareth my travel companion and I were just shooting the breeze talking when something he said triggered my Sunday morning message at Pearl Haven Christian Centre in Mbale.

In the accommodation where we have been staying in Kampala, there is a very steep incline from the road to the gate, which makes both the entry and exit very entertaining indeed. After the staff meeting Pastor Okumu, who chairs the board of AOD, stayed with us overnight in order to drive us to Mbale for the weekend.

After a twelve hour day with several meetings, heavy rain, lots of driving Peter Wooding uttered the now famous Kampala phrase - I need a Banana Split. Not the kind of thing we thought the missions house could muster, but after rummaging through the fridge, he found Ice Cream, sliced up a banana and even had chocolate sauce to add for good measure.... Didn't find any sprinkles though, sometimes life is hard....

It was great to end the evening last night with a skype call to Rebekah, who was busy working back in the UK and couldn't come on this trip. Apparently I woke Gareth Killa (Who I share a room with) up this morning, with a most peculiar high pitched snore. Of course I denied it as I didn't hear it myself.

I am currently participating in a Digital Media Forum in Rotorua, New Zealand with United Christian Broadcasters. It's great to hear from and interact with people who are pushing the envelope on software development or web strategies. I saw a couple of videos while at the event, the first one is posted below.

I like the concept of blogging and often think up great things to share, but then don't spend enough time writing, which is something I need to fix. I've just been promoted which is great, but brings me to a place of thinking about the future.

When Pastor Martin Rees sent me an email about this, I have to admit I thought it was a bit of a wind up, the subject line was 'Water Light Bulbs'.

I've been sick this week, something going with my left side, may be pneumonia or it might be IBS, the prognosis varies each time I ask. Had some tests, results on Monday. Was almost swayed by a TV commercial for a full body MRI scan with results in 3 hours, but the £1295 price tag put me off...
