How blind can you get!

Well, it worked! I really am back now, after days of trying this and that woithout success. How blind can you get! I knew that when I found it the answer would be simple! It was, of course, staring me in the face all the time. I just didn't look high enough on the page - and the hours I've wasted searching for it! At least I've learned that I'm not as clever as I thought I was!

MEDIA BIBLE FOR A POST-CHRISTIAN CULTURE

The Joseph Rank Trust is funding the launch of a project for greater biblical literacy in church and culture. St John’s College in Durham University will be partnering with Methodist Minister the Revd Brian Brown, executive producer of the children’s TV series The Story Keepers and forthcoming series Friends and Heroes. Revd Brown will be involving theologians, churches and the media in finding contemporary ways of communicating the biblical message. The Rev Dr David Wilkinson, principal of St John’s College, said it would be a privilege to work with Brian Brown, who had ‘taken biblical scholarship and media communication to a new level’.

New Beginning!

After two years of happy blogging with Modblog.com, I find that Modblog has died on me and so today is a new beginning for me in the hope of finding a new circle of friends - or perhaps linking up with old friends who already use this server.

I miss very much the many younger friends I made among the Modblog bloggers and I hope to find friends of all ages visiting this new site. There is a vibrancy and freshness about the posts of younger people that give me much delight among the more solemn dissertations of the more mature.

The recent heavy rains and high winds have brought all the colourful leaves off the trees now but there are plenty of signs of Spring on its way. There are carpets of grape hyacinth and primrose leaves and, in the greenhouse, the broad beans have grown to two inches now. I don't like the early darkness that cuts short our afternoons in November but the Christmas lights are now appearing everywhere and its only three weeks to the shortest day, when the days start getting longer again. Hope springs eternal in the human breast!
