Wahey! Our new church website is up and it looks great! Check it out!

I just completed a survey on the Wordpress dashboard tonight.  It seems like they may be contemplating adding adverts to our blogs.  It seems there will be probably be an paid option for removing the adverts from your site.

To be surprise, at the moment Google ads are displayed to a small number of visitors.  I didn’t realize this was happening, but it doesn’t bother me too much as Google ads tend to be unobtrusive.

However, an increase in the adverts might change things.  I can not imagine we would have control over what was advertised from our blogs.  That does bother me.

I’ve been recently thinking about using the Wordpress software on a self-hosted site.  I was trying to think of a good enough reason to go through the hassle of moving everything.  This might just be it.

We had a BBQ at my Dad’s church last night and a sing-song time afterwards (as is traditional). It was fairly relaxed so I played through a few songs that we sing back in North Carolina. Healer is pretty much taking the worship scene by storm at the moment.

North Carolina must be on my mind today.

2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons shortening
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in shortening until mixture is as fine as meal, then add milk, mixing until soft dough is formed. Place on a floured board, knead lightly for 25 seconds. Roll dough to half-inch thickness and cut with floured biscuit cutter. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes.

Yields 12 biscuits.

(optional - but recommended)
When baked, cut those biscuits open and stick in a breaded chicken breast! Yummy. I’m going to make some this week.

My mum bought a new guitar yesterday from 2 Mac Music in Banbridge, Northern Ireland.  Here she is, all proud as punch with her new Avalon Silver Series DS-100E.

It’s a great sounding guitar and is lovely to play.

These are photos I took using a compact camera (Samsung Digimax D73).

Well, I did it.  I met up with that bloke I met online.  Everybody warned me not to go.  “You get all sorts of people on t’internet these days…”, they said.  You do indeed get many people out there pretending to be someone they’re not.  Not in this case.

I met up with Ally Simpson and his wife Cherith tonight up at Starbucks in Ballymena.

I can’t remember how we first hooked up online (think it was facebook), but I’ve been reading Supersimbo.net for a while now and bantering with Ally on Twitter.  We talked about various things - our backgrounds,  why we blog, our current church life and so on.

It was all over too soon.  Obviously we could not part without a photo to prove it actually happened.

Spread the word - get a free album!

I just downloaded a Sixpence None The Richer album in exchange for telling 3 of my mates about it - and before you say anything - no-ones email address is kept by NoiseTrade.  Alternatively, you can pay what you want without having to bug your mates.

Just want to say thanks to Aaron for his kind words over on his blog.  He asked if he could use one of my videos on his blog.  I did not expect him to write so much around it! 
We’ll definitely have to meet up Aaron.  You’ll only a couple of hours away after all!  Next time I’m near-by I’ll give you a shout.  You do the same.

I’m trying to grasp the magnitude of God’s unfailing love….. Yeah, I know - I don’t think that will be possible.
