This week I’ve been hanging out at Union View Baptist Church in Franklinton and helping out with a free soccer camp put on by the church and some of my (new) friends. This picture is of my squad, the green dots. Myself and coach Lindsey (far right) led this team of 6 and 7 year [...]
Don't care!
I love it. Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) has officially rocked my world today–and, it’s only the first day. After going to the first day of classes, will it be difficult? Umm…yes, sir. Will it be amazing? Too late, it’s already amazing.
Going from classes whose purposes were to discuss General Franco, Frida Kahlo and Rigoberta [...]
It's been a slow week in Theydon Bois. Nevertheless we have all been
caught up in World Cup Fever. Many cars proudly display the flag of St
George (a red cross on a white background) and we love it. First of
all, England beat Trinidad & Tobago. I know they were not the most
challenging oppposition but they fought bravely and England only pulled
though by the skin of their teeth. I have been watching Mexico versus
Angola tonight. Mexico are rated the fourth best in the world. Angola

It's been a slow week at Theydon Bois. We've had the Formula 1 British
Grand Prix and England versus Paraguay in the Soccer World Cup. The

better in the next game. The performance so far has been unimpressive.
The plant sale in the village for Cancer Relief has been more
hopeful . Georgina has been doing her bit. She took some plant pots
to the house where the plant sale was held and left them around the
back. When she went to the sale the next Saturday she realised it was
at a completely different house. Imagine the surrprise when the pots
were discovered. Who had left them? We are keeping quiet.
