Well, The bbq was good fun. Went round to Sian’s house and ate and laughed alot. Cliff did the bbq, he is a good cook. Went Bowling in the evening and I did alright, definitely not my best night. scores of 118 and 115, but I had fun. Went out to Macca’s afterwards with everyone and then Back to Cliff’s place and played Halo.
Saturday I went round again to Cliff’s and had another xbox marathon. I’m not very good at it, so I was pretty frustrated at times, but I guess I had fun.
Its so hard to say no to something you want to do, but know you shouldn’t be doing. Its hard to be an example to others and tell them what you think and what they should be doing instead, but when your not a natural leader (or there is a more predominant leader) its hard to speak up and give good sound direction.
Sunday was good, the exhort in the morning was about God’s fairness, but I was fairly tired from the aforementioned marathon, so concentration was difficult. In the afternoon I did a bit of reading, but not much and in the evening was Bible Class on Amos. It was very interesting, we looked at the judgments against the nations and also on Judah and Israel and in particular looked at the characteristics that they had which brought those judgments on them and therefore they are characteristics that we should be avoiding. Things like: greed, pride, and treating others cruelly. Also how we interact with our brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to be caring and loving and not cause to stumble.
After the lecture I went round to Mike and Jo’s and had a good chat about things, about where I am going and also how I can help others and other peoples problems/issues. I have a lot of work to do in helping myself and others, I pray for strength, wisdom and guidance from God to help me.
