Hey guys,

Currently sitting in an internet cafe in Livigno, Italy. Been here all week skiig – it’s amazing!! I was hoping to put a photo or 2 up, but the computer wont take my compact flash card, so as soon as I get home you can see them. I have had a really great week. Standing over 10,000 ft up in the alps, with temperatures below -20 and snow all around its totally breathtaking.

Anyhows, im gonna head on now and get a cup of coffee or something.

 Check back soon for pics!

I’ve decided to try my luck at winning a free mac (well almost free). I clicked into one of those sites claiming to give away free iPods, macs etc, and thought I would give it a go.

All I have to do is to sign up, complete an offer, and get 18 other people to do the same.. The site is called apple incentives. The easiest offer to complete is the Love Film DVD rental offer. You have to sign up to their 2 week free trial and rent at least one DVD. I think if you can do this, and cancel your membership before the 2 weeks, you will not be charged a penny. Saying that, it only costs £3.99 per month so its not really a major cost to get a mac!

I have recieved my DVD and am posting it back today, now all I need is your help. If you want to try it out, just click here http://apple.real-incentives.com/43277

I’ll not say too much about it, check it out below for yourself, but when i saw it, i couldn’t believe it was Microsoft who made it, totally looks like something made by apple – has some features very similar to that on the apple iphone ! Due to be out winter 2007! It’ll change the way we do everything, looks so futuristic!

As Christians, the thing that we cling to is the Grace of God. This word grace sets us apart and gives us a joy in which to live. Grace is God’s unmerited and undeserved favour, poured out through His Son Jesus Christ. It is this grace that saves us, not because of anything we have done or because we deserve it, but because He knows that we cannot rescue ourselves.

Grace has broken the chains of sin and death that once held us, but this grace was never meant to wipe out a life that strives to Honour and glorify God and to live for Him. It was never meant to be a licence to sin, knowing the punishment has already been paid, it was meant for the opposite. True grace is seen through a grater desire and passion to serve and live for the one who set us free, not to gain any approval or to make us look better, but out of a joy that comes from knowing that we have already been approved and saved my the blood of Jesus.

Grace and works, intimacy and fear – they are both sides of the same truth, and it is finding the balance where God’s saving and freeing grace causes and fuels us to live out a life that honours God and reflects His glory.

It was Marks birthday on Thursday, so last nite we had a surprise party for him, but not just your regular party – few friends, food etc, we went to play scalectrix!

‘Come on, that’s gonna be boring!’ I’m sure your thinking, and so did I went the idea was put forward, but it was actually amazing! there were 18 of us which, with 6 lanes, meant 3 group qualifiers with the top 2 from each group making the final. Each group heat consisted of 6 races allowing everyone to use each car once. I started out well on the yellow car, winning, but as i reached the red and greens cars, my luck wasn’t so good! Thankfully I redeemed myself and ended up qualifying first in my group!

The final was gonna be tough, me and rick from my group and clarke, scott simon and ivan from the others… I should have been in for a good chance at at least coming 2nd or 3rd.. or so I thought. I was terrible, every race crashing out after 1 or 2 laps, the pressure just got to me and I think I ended up last! The night however was a really great one, and ill definitely be wanting to go back for another go, and try to beat my fastest lap of 10.9 seconds!

Monday nite // Mandela Hall // Funeral For a Friend
