It Is Finished!

I have worked out how to do a countdown clock! I can now see at a glance how many days, minutes, hours and seconds it is until commissioning. I'm so excited! Only 240 days!!!! I'm sure you can see my excitement at both being able to do something like create a countdown clock and the fact that commissioning will soon be upon us from all the exclamation marks in my text. I hope the Corps or centre that gets us as their Officers will be just as excited as us!

Work in progress

I have added a countdown to my commissioning at the bottom of this page, but I haven't quite worked out how to make it countdown yet. If anyone has any hints or ideas please let me know. Maybe my mind is still swimming after a morning of Christian Themes with the topic of why does God allow evil in the world, and Faith in Context with the topic of Post Modernity. I have questions in both. I think God is stretching me today which always has to be positive.

Happy Birthday

Yesterday was my brother's birthday. He is now the grand old age of 34, so happy birthday Mark! Yesterday also marked the 141st birthday of Poplar Corps. I'm sure that Poplar Corps of today does not bear a lot of similarities of 141 years ago, although I would hope that it relies as heavily on God today as it did all of those years ago.



I also discovered yesterday that October 31st marks the day that the reformation commenced. It seems like quite a notable date in the calender!



And finally it was halloween. I think that we were really lucky because we only had one lot of kids wh ocame to our door trick or treating. Although it wasn't that lucky because it was at 21.55. Slightly late for doing that kind of thing I thought. But I was reliably informed that these kids were suitably dressed in costume.
