Revision

Sorry for the lack of posts of late, but I have exams coming up, and would dearly like to be able to come back next year. After June 16th, we should have more activity, including a review of Dylan Moran doing standup.

Over and out

Not Even a Hint

Not Even A Hint arrived in the post this morning. It is now about 2 O'clock in the afternoon and I have already read it from cover to cover. This is a seriously good book for any one who is human (and I think that is everyone) and who has some difficulty with lust.

It takes the focus off of legalism and judgement, and focuses instead on making sure we pursue God first and foremost in our lives. It also talks about what God's design for sex and relationships was really meant to be. In particular, God made us as sexual beings, and God thought that it was "very good" (see Genesis 1). The issue as always is the Devil twisting what God has designed, and this book will really help get the focus back on God's incredibly good design.

If anyone has any struggles with lust and the likes, can I really, really recommend this book from the very bottom of my heart.

P.s. Sorry for not updating for a while.

Crysis

For all you gamers out there.



Farcry was one of the best FPS games ever, and now there have been announcements about the sequel, Crysis. I have just watched this video, and it absolutely blew me away. Watch it and weep people.
Please note that this image doesn't do the game justice the way the video does.
