Tuesday, September 18, 2007 Eighteenth September 2007 Today had to be marked on the blog because it’s exactly 5 years since I started this business of blogging. I had little idea when I started back in September 2002 that I would get this far with it. It’s been a useful tool along the way; it’s given me the chance to record memories and thoughts, it’s allowed me to keep friends and family up to date with goings on and it’s hopefully served as a pointer to some of the other good things the web has to offer. I had intended to make more of this anniversary post but my thoughts are elsewhere. Many of you will know that it’s been a real tough week around here with the sudden passing of Melissa’s dad. I’ve been shocked at how the events of a few short moments can change life so permanently. Thanks to all of you who’ve sent supportive texts through over the past few days. Please continue to pray for Melissa and the family as they enter this new and difficult season of their lives and for me as I attempt to be there for her. posted by charlie | 12:06 AM | Wednesday, September 05, 2007 Fake Republic I was sad when Shane Magee, a very gifted thinker and communicator drew his ministry in Northern Ireland to a close a number of years ago. I felt we had lost a leader. Shane nows lives in Canada with his wife Ali but thankfully modern communications are now allowing him to minister all across the globe from that base. Over the past few weeks I've been both encouraged and challenged by some of Shane's writing and video diaries. His words aren't always easy to read, he uses lots of big ones for a start, often mining the depths of his huge vocabulary to convey a concept or thought. He also allows his search for truth, something he does with whole lot of energy, integrity and honesty, to lead him outside the box or beyond established lines of thinking. I often feeled stretched by his work but in a way that i find is healthy for my head, heart and spirit. I'm adding his fake republic blog to my list of regular reads. posted by charlie | 3:31 PM | |
