Go Ape

It's 430am.

Some drunk blokes are making a ridiculous amount of noise in the kitchen and waking up the block. Alcohol.

Last week has been a thoroughly eventful one for me - quite a week of up & downs in fact! I had a bout of food poisoning upon coming back from London last weekend and had to bear the effects of it while going through an individual presentation on Monday. Thankfully I made it through by God's grace. I've submitted my two 1000+ word essays too, so I can breathe a bit easier as Easter draws near. I'm anticipating Silas's visit too!

I had a very enlightening time attending a series of night talks by John Dickson (see subsequent blog entry). I've also attempted to make new friends by breaking out of my circle of Asian friends. While the rest of my mates went to visit the Stonehenge, I went alone for a Go Ape trip at the Forest of Dean on Sat. Its basically a high-wire adventure course that takes you from tree to tree, 15metres above ground. It was a spectacular and thrilling experience - videos & more photos are on Facebook.


Finally on Sunday, I was invited by Andy Page to lead worship at his church, Christ Church, in Weston-super-mare. Its amazing how God works. The 3 songs I selected were entirely in line with the theme of the service and the preacher's sermon, to the extent that the preacher even quoted the last verse of Servant King - one of the songs which I led - as a challenge to the congregation. This is one of those "God is so good" moments that sends chills down your spine. Thank you Lord.
