Stickles are Random: It's (almost) like watching Brazil

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2012/08/its-almost-like-watching-brazil.html

Wednesday, 15 August 2012. It's (almost) like watching Brazil. Roy Hodgson (picture from The Sun website). As I start typing this, we're into the 40. Matches like this can be so useful for a new(ish) manager, being a great opportunity for him to take a look at fringe players and try new tactics and formations. Hodgson's taken this opportunity fully, I think; starting Cleverley, Johnson, Walker and Carrick and giving the 4-2-3-1 formation a go. Remember when Italy passed us to death in the Euros? I starte...

Stickles are Random: July 2013

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, 28 July 2013. What should we expect from God? Really interesting and helpful talk at the church meeting this morning (thanks, Simon! I won't summarise the whole talk – it should soon be up on our church's website. Password needed) – but one thing Simon mentioned in passing got me thinking. He said God has often let him down and not done what Simon was hoping or expecting. So what should. We expect from God? Where does it come from, this idea that God will guide us? It seems to me that God's inten...

Stickles are Random: I need to choose a dissertation topic...

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-need-to-choose-dissertation-topic.html

Saturday, 7 September 2013. I need to choose a dissertation topic. So, the final year of my theology Masters (with Westminster Theological Centre. Has begun and a big chunk of the work this year will be on a dissertation. I have to write 16,000-20,000 words on. well, on pretty much whatever I want, as long as it's got something to do with Christian theology! Which all leaves me with option two. As many of my friends know (thank you for your patience, friends! I have a thing about sermons. In many Protest...

Thinking Allowed: JUST DO IT!

http://david-thinking-allowed.blogspot.com/2010/09/just-do-it.html

Friday, 24 September 2010. I have just read Davids latest blog draft and said to him YOU REALLY CAN'T PUBLISH THAT! So here, instead is a tongue-in-cheek excerpt from Luke 25. There was a long queue of people waiting for Jesus and his disciples, the sick, the paralysed, those overcome by paint fumes (like the authors as they write- will the decorating ever be finished! But because church has now been established there are one or two procedures to adhere to along the way. Leader: 'You are a joker, trying ...

Stickles are Random: September 2011

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Monday, 19 September 2011. Saying 'Yes' to God. I was away in Wales for a few days last week and spent a happy Friday here. So the 'yes' is our response to this proposal from God:. I love you. Do you love me? Will you join me in at-one-ment, unity, reconciliation, reunion, belonging, membership, love? Will you accept my proposal and enter into the vital communion of theosis – union with God? Do you want to follow me, to join me in my work of healing, feeding, caring and self-giving?

Stickles are Random: Spurs for the title (and other Premier League 2013-14 predictions)

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2013/08/spurs-for-title-and-other-premier.html

Saturday, 17 August 2013. Spurs for the title (and other Premier League 2013-14 predictions). The new Premier League season starts in bang on an hour's time (as I type this) so I thought I'd post some quick predictions. Feel free to agree, disagree, laugh in my face, bookmark this post for future laughing in my face etc. etc! Soldado photo from sportsillustrated.cnn.com. From mirror.co.uk - Bale back in his Saints days. Anyway, here's my prediction for the top six:. Bit of a gap]. View my complete profile.

Stickles are Random: November 2011

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Monday, 28 November 2011. No, not that sort of double dip. This. It's been predicted that the UK economy is going to shrink over the next few months, meaning we are likely to see what is usually called a double-dip recession. If only it were simply about the demise of a certain sherbert-based confectionery product. So what should be done? If we keep on borrowing money then surely sooner or later we'll end up just not being able to borrow any more. Like it seems half of Europe. Is on the brink of. I start...

Stickles are Random: December 2011

http://sticklesarerandom.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 28 December 2011. Calling God A Liar. Something recently made me think again about the way science and Christianity sometimes clash rather violently. You know what I mean; the way that some Christians believe there's a conspiracy or a plot of the Devil to spread the lie that all humans have evolved from more primitive life-forms, while some atheists believe that Christians are simple-minded fools who put their brains to one side when they came to faith. Developed into all the variety of life t...
