It is Sunday and the sun is shining. As I write this much of the TV centres around debates on political issues. Interesting to realise how there are so many views on one subject. Some of the debates leave me cold since people are all conditioned differently and influenced through what has happened to them in life and sometimes I wonder if there really is an answer.

Now I know that as a Christian I really do believe that Jesus is the answer to what we need but when I look around where some people choose to worship each week I wonder how the world will ever get that message! You see some Churches look like historic societies - many members look back to the 'glory days' when these same churches had hundreds of members. My eyes have been opened to the Alpha Churches who saturate their efforts/plans and worship in Prayer and Bible study and keep outreach very much on the agenda......they are growing and more young and family people are joining or at least attending.

Do many people go to Church because they have always gone there and their friends are there? We have a responsibility as Christians to worship in a relevant way and to ask the right questions of what we are doing and why? I am not attending my 'normal' Church at present and I am happier not to since the worship was not relevant or sound - nor was the focus of the Church.......I will find my way again hopefully but for now I will worship in different ways and in different Churches. What I am certain of is that Jesus is my answer and I am able to trust Him for my needs and my direction.

I have an interesting and varied week ahead with two half days off - one for the Rotary Club of London Burns lunch where Robert will speak and one for my birthday when Robert and I will enjoy some time together. I never really feel like celebrating my own birthday - I can't believe my age since I don't feel this old - but life is not over yet!!

At the end of this week I have my first weight management session.......I really do mean business and have introduced a few changes already - starting the day with porridge when i can may help - having fruit before eating other foods is another positive to help digestion!

I am excited about the next months - Robert is keeping quite well and every day is good in that sense. Alexandra is at University and although it seems to have been all fun at present as new students have joined them, I hope that the serious study is starting this week! I do miss her but I love her so much and I am so pleased that she is at University and on her way into her real adult life. This evening Alex will be at her Church in Buckingham and will sing in the worship group - she is sincere in her faith and is glad to share it. I pray that god will shape and protect Alex all the way.

So as I go into this day I can say God is good and I pray that you too will discover this.

See ya!
