Bring on the joy. Quietly trying to figure it all out…. As best as I remember it…. July 22, 2009 in Uncategorized. The Gods Aren't Angry. I’ve spent part of today watching Rob Bell’s dvd “The Gods Aren’t Angry”. It’s funny, having just put in that link, I’ve found myself, through Google, looking through a lot of people’s thoughts on Mr Bell. Goodness, what a controversial figure he is in some quarters.). I can only quote from Rob Bell himself:. What is the point of a ritual? But I’m a Christian, I ...

Bring on the joy. Quietly trying to figure it all out…. As best as I remember it…. As best as I remember it…. 8230;this is my story and who I think I am. Others may say different but I’ll leave that for them to comment on. As a child I was sent to Sunday School, which I recollect as loathing more and more as I got older. I don’t know why I went; I guess my parents felt it was the right thing to do. And perhaps a way of getting some peace and quiet on a Sunday morning…. 8221; and it really got me thinking...

alison's blog: on documentaries which blow me away
http://allibec.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-documentaries-which-blow-me-away.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. On documentaries which blow me away. As you may have noticed, I have not blogged for ages. I have ideas but I never get 'roundtoit'! However, this week I stumbled across something on the iplayer. Whilst shnaffling reheated roast dinner that I have not stopped thinking about and so want to share! The documentary showed Samira going back to Mogadishu, via Ethiopia to see her dad and Dolo Ado refugee camp. So basically, watch, and learn! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

alison's blog: on living below the line - day 3
http://allibec.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-living-below-line-day-3.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. On living below the line - day 3. After yesterday's grumps, Day 3 saw me feeling slightly more chirpy. A little hungry, but chirpy! This evening, we had our small group meeting from church, and as we eat together each week, we cooked a meal for 33p a head - we did bean chilli, rice, and pancakes again for pudding. There was even enough left for some cups of tea. Our group found it rather amusing the degree to which we went to work out the costs! On the feeding the 5k. On living be...

alison's blog: October 2009
http://allibec.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 30, 2009. When my friend Em. Who gets far too many namechecks in my blogging life) spontaneously came down to visit on her day off the other day, we were driving round the surrounding bits of Wolverhmapton, and I confessed something to her. She looked at me funny, laughed nervously, and said I should blog it. So, here goes. My latest DadCrush is an acquaintance of my parents. He’s in Politics, so he has to be nice to people, but he’s just so nice! Oh Pip Schofield, when will you be mine?

alison's blog: November 2012
http://allibec.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. On other people's elections and compassion. On the morning after the US elections 2012, I want to preface this post by saying firstly that I am personally pleased that Obama has the chance be President for another four years. Secondly, I know very little about US politics (I get very into it for about three days every four years! I think we should remember a few things. Firstly, we perhaps feel Obama is best for leadership because of his foreign policy? Eliza does very little.

alison's blog: November 2009
http://allibec.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 26, 2009. One of those things was when an American friend came to stay with me exactly two years ago in Kumasi on the way to or from doing some research. It had barely registered with me, but before we ate our very un-thanksgiving-y dinner (it certainly wasn't turkey, although we may have treated ourselves to a take away! She explained that we had to say what we were thankful for. And I'll read this again in 24hours when that resolve dissolves. Tuesday, November 3, 2009. 1) I walked in...

Tuesday, May 8, 2012. On living below the line - day 2. So, another day underneath the breadline draws to a close. Today's menu consisted of. porridge and coffee for breakfast, broth, toast, an apple and two rich tea biscuits for lunch, an emergency half portion of rice (2p) when I got home from work, pasta and tomato sauce for tea. and. when me and my co-below-the-liners sat down and looked at the total for the day, we decided. we could afford. PANCAKES! Oh, and the Below The Line Headache has hit.

alison's blog: live below the line... day 4
http://allibec.blogspot.com/2012/05/live-below-line-day-4.html
Thursday, May 10, 2012. Live below the line. day 4. As I write, I am savouring every last mouthful of a jam doughnut which my sugar-craving housemate. Had sourced for 30p for 5 from the reduced aisle of Morrisons this evening. We worked out we had around 50p left between the three of us and that was quite possibly the best use of our funds. I think I am getting used to it now - whether mentally or physically - or both - I don't know! Again, the amount of waste we throw away has been at the forefront of m...
