Padding Up: June 2009
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 16 June 2009. More Than Just a Riddle. Preached in Christ Church, Moss Side - 10th May 2009. 1 John 4 v7-end and John 15 v1-8. Jesus said, ‘I am the true vine’. Jesus did not say, ‘I am as round as a dishpan, as deep as a tub, and yet the oceans could never fill me. What am I? 8217; Nor did he say, ‘I hold water, yet am full of holes. What am I? Sort it out, and get back to the Tardis before the universe is destroyed! But are these statements really as cryptic and confusing as they sound? Subscr...

Padding Up: A Lenten Alleluia
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2010/03/lenten-alleluia.html
Monday, 1 March 2010. Preached in Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge - 21st February 2010. Deuteronomy 26 v1-11, Romans 10 v8b-13 and Luke 4 v1-13. Jesus goes on to live this out, throughout his ministry and teaching he provides nourishment with the Word, proclaiming himself the bread of life. Yes, Jesus shuns the material of the world, but not for the sake of it. ‘Those who come to me shall never hunger.’. Finally, from the pinnacle of the temple, Jesus is asked to throw himself down, allowing the angels t...

Padding Up: January 2009
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 7 January 2009. How to Shoot Yourself in Both Feet. Get rid of these two. What a very English coup. They clearly did not get on, and could not work together. Pietersen disliked Moores' boot-camp style, Moores disliked Pietersen's style of captaincy. Pietersen wanted Vaughan back in the team, Moores did not. Some teams lose a coach, some a captain. But to lose both, this close to an important series is plain barmy. And the maddest thing? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Padding Up: On Living and Dying
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2010/02/on-living-and-dying.html
Monday, 15 February 2010. On Living and Dying. Preached in Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge - 1st November 2009. Isaiah 25 v6-9, Revelation 21 v1-6a and John 11 v32-44. It is in embracing death that we come to a greater understanding of what it is to be alive. 8221; becomes one of the basic proclamations of the church. It speaks to things that are dead and calls forth life. The church – as the body of Christ – shouts for life from out of the tomb, and Jesus is there to unbind our grave...Welcome to my blo...

Padding Up: The Transfiguration
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2010/02/transfiguration.html
Saturday, 20 February 2010. Reached in Fitzwilliam College Chapel, Cambridge - Feast of the Transfiguration 2009. 2 Corinthians 4 v3-6 and Mark 9 v2-9. Picture Owen James Dobson,. Http:/ owenjamesdobson.wetpaint.com/. Change, is a strange thing. Whether you fear it – the new, the different, the unexpected, or embrace it – dashing off into the next adventure, change affects us, the way we are seen, and the way we see the world. Madeleine L'Engle said about age, "I am every age I have ever been." She b...

Padding Up: Heading East
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2009/03/heading-east.html
Sunday, 8 March 2009. I am about to break new ground. Having previously not been further east than Budapest, tomorrow I fly to Delhi, which is so far east that it's almost west. Nearly. My second Google Map in two posts(! When I'm able to get on the internet, I'll try and post a few pictures and whatnot to let you know what I'm up to and that I'm still alive. It's going to be quite an adventure, partly as I have so little planned at this stage. But it is going to be fun. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Padding Up: December 2008
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 29 December 2008. Michael Vaughan. And why not? Ian Bell's form in Test cricket since his 199 against South Africa at Lord's last summer has seen him score just 182 runs at an average of 20. That is simply not good enough for an England No.3. Vaughan has the ability, the proven record, and is statistically England's most successful ever captain. Who wouldn't want him on the pitch? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). London, England, United Kingdom. Hello I'm Paddy. This is what I think. Rock in the Grass.

Padding Up: The hills are alive...
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2009/03/hills-are-alive.html
Thursday, 26 March 2009. The hills are alive. I am sitting out on the balcony of my guest house, looking out at. Sun-drenched snowy peaks, having had quite a hectic few days! I got the train up from Delhi to Haridwar on Monday morning, then. Managed to find a bus to take me to Rishikesh. This was more by luck. Than judgement, but I find just wandering around the bus 'depot'. Field) calling out your destination seems to work. In Rishikesh. Kind of a hindu monastery place, full of German hippies doing yoga).

Padding Up: Countdown to the Ashes
http://paddingup.blogspot.com/2010/10/countdown-to-ashes.html
Monday, 11 October 2010. Countdown to the Ashes. Well the countdown to the 2010/11 Ashes tour is well underway; the teams are announced, tickets are booked (I'll be the sunburnt Englishman at the Gabba) and bars throughout Australia are bracing themselves for the advance of the Barmy Army. To whet my appetite as much as yours, here are my top five highlights from last summer's contest. 1 Flintoff runs out Ponting. Who says fielding is dull? 2 Swann bowls Ponting with a jaffa. Before you all get up in arm...
