The reason my sermon summary has not appeared is that I keep forgetting to bring it into work. I can't do it all from memory unfrotunately. It will definitely appear tomorrow.
This weekend saw mixed fortunes:
Pontypool drew 13-13 with Caerfilthy on Friday night after paying poorly.
Wales won (again!!!) against Italy - watched the match in 2 halves - over an hour and a half apart as I had to collect FW from work. Murder almost resulted as we also picked up Best Man who almost said too much and gave the result away.
After watching Wales I was ready fior the Ireland/Scotland match. Unfortunately the Sky box failed to record it and, after 10 minutes told me that I had now caught up with the match; only to find that the match had finished.
I then had the misfortune of watching France/England. How can a promising French side play so badly.....
Yesterday was the usual chapel in the morning. We had a visiting preacher who almost made want to practise murder. First of all he tried to say that the King James version is THE best translation, something I don't agree with. I feel that you should read a selection of translations to get the best from it. It gives the opportunity to see what is sometimes missed in the different translation methods.
Then, as we were doing I Am The Door, he said that the "thieves and robbers" referred to in the text was obviously the Pharisees. I've always believed that Jesus was talking about the false shepherds who had gone before; those who had claimed to be the Messiah but were actually bandits and "freedom" fighters. At that point I lost interest and did what I always do at such times - read my bible.
After lunch, and dropping off Best Man, we managed to visit my sister and her family as we hadn't seen them for a few weeks.
