Weekend

St Silas won 8-4 against CEC2 with five goals from Frankie , two from Ali Morrow with Davy Lawler getting one too!! Although Silas ran away comfortable winners in the end we had to come back from behind twice.

This trend of only starting to play when we are loosing seems to be happening an awful lot since the turn of the year which is a little worrying. At the end of the match the team seemed so discontent about the loss of four goals, its was as if we had lost!!

Two F.A. Cup matches where televised over the weekend: Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest and Man Utd vs Portsmouth; both good games. It was quite a lot of football over load.

On the Saturday afternoon Scottish Crusaders changed their name to Urban Saints with 75% in favor, thank God for a clear majority! Some less urban groups will now be called “Rural Sinners”! (Sadly can’t take credit for that)

Saturday evening I finally went to my best friend Eilidh's flat, staying the night. It's rather strange that despite us being best friends we struggled so much to stay in contact before she came to Uni. Now she lives in Glasgow we see each other a lot more but it was the first time I'd been round to her flat!! Spending time with her is fantastic so it was of course very lovely. We watched Pay It Forward on DVD. It is a book which I started to read a few years ago though gave up as it was rather rubbish; thankfully the film was much better!


Sunday morning was All-Age at Church (all the children stay in the service rather than going to their own activities). We started the new series, faith, with the story of Noah a fantastic example of faith (Genesis 6:9 onwards). What an amazing guy he was. In Genesis when it talks about Noah and his Granddad Enoch it says "they walked with God". I can think of little else which could be such a powerful statement of there lives and I am filled with a desire to be like them. There is also a new theme song for the series called "faith" which Jenny and the band did a particularly good version of. It is lyrically brilliant too; straight out the bible.

All in all a very tiring weekend but it was good.
