I'm a follower of God in the way of Jesus... I love my wife & kids to bits... I dig great beats, rich coffee, inclusive faith and innovative design...
Heading over to the Kelvingrove soon to see the Dr Who exhibit & I thought it apt to bring a suitably geeky bag. It's a fab Star Wars bag with Asian script & a big DV head. Nice for $5!
It's a smaller bag than my usual so I've stripped the contents down to the bear minimum for a trip to Glasgow: wallet, camera, iPhone, iPod etc.
What's in your bag today?

I love coffee. I love spending time in coffeehouses. That's what I love... it's my thing.
That said... what makes this time & activity more precious is when I spend it with dear friends.
On Monday I had the pleasure of Paul Clement's company... today I spent my time with Stewart Cutler then laterly Alistair Smith... then tomorrow I will have the company of Andrew Berry.
It only could be better if Olly was there!
Thanks for your company, chaps!

As I walked to the station, I listened to the first chapter of ERIC BRYANT's "Peppermint Pinatas" audiobook. He has a warm & engaging approach that is instantly accessible... and although what he discusses isn't new to me, he articulates it in a refreshing manner. When I jumped on the train I switched to KEANE's new album "Perfect Symmetry". I have grown to love pop music & this album is a perfect example of good pop. Synthy soundscapes... rocky guitars... vibrant backbeat... lovely. When I jumped off the train I swapped over to MATTHEW DEAR's wonderful "Asa Dear"... Bleeding edge electronic soundscapes underpinning deep, processed vocals... reminding me of THE KNIFE - something offkilter but engaging. So yeah that's me up to now... what did you listen to this morning?

I love the hunt... the rooting around of musical scavenger hunt. Not looking for anything specific with the assurance that I know what I like.
During my break I picked up the following:
* The best of RADIOHEAD - 2 x CD + 1 x DVD - from their EMI days. Great to have the videos.
* "Music Fiction" by RITHMA - awesome soulful nujazzy electronica from OM records.
* "Asa breed" by MATTHEW DEAR - more awesome electronic goodness, this time from the genius that is Matthew Dear. Picked this album up for £2.25 - a steal in my books. Brilliant.
* Stay up forever" by CHUNGKING - soulful indie rock with a wee flavour of new wave pop that I picked up in "Jumbo Records" in Leeds for £2. Good follow up to "The hungry years".
* "Trailer Park" by BETH ORTON - a classic album in some peoples' eyes. I picked it up for £2.25 to see for myself.
* "Adventures in the underground journey to the stars" by SOUTH - fab indie rock from the band who used to be on Mo' Wax (where I first heard them).
* The ost for INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL - loved the movie... love the ost... love the fact I picked it up in OXFAM for £2.
* ORBITAL - classic timeless electronica.
* "Protection" by MASSIVE ATTACK - the album that brought the wild bunch to my attention all those years ago.
I love music... and I'll be like a pig in poo listening to all these aural treats. Thanks to Olly & the we'ans for putting up with my CDOCD.

The tomb is empty... as empty as a juice bottle... the contents gone, only the packaging remaining. We can smile again... because of the empty tomb. The wait is over & our hope restored. We can smile again for death has been defeated... life has won... love has won!
We can live as original intended. Live free & abundant lives overloaded with blessing... overloaded like a child on a successful Easter Egg Hunt. So this Easter... may you live full & abundant lives as the Lord originally intended. Death is defeated... we have no need to live in fear. Blessings to all. Celebrate life!

...and I am complicit in his murder.
An innocent man who went against the flow... who rejected the "just" violence of the current "peace"... who spoke of loving our neighbours AND our enemys... who was killed using the favoured capital punishment of the day.
God is dead!
...but is this the end? He spoke of tearing down the Temple & rebuilding it in three days. What does that mean? Guess I'll have to wait & see...
...for they may have killed my God... but they can never kill my hope in Him.
