Comic Concept

My new MacBook has a comic book program to help you create your own story boards. Messing around with it today and chatting to some Mexicans with a similar idea I'm beginning to think it could be an excellent format for a "How to set up a prayer room". What do you think? Visual story boards to help people create prayer spaces? Click the image on the left to see what my simple program can do... xc

Salmon & Helicopters

The lovely Susanna Rhyhiger has joined us from Switzerland so to show her a little Chi hospitality Charlottie invited us round to show off her gloss work and feed us delicious scrambled eggs and salmon. Yum yum. We came, we ate, we admired. Also in the offing were rediculously large mexican hats and flying helicopters. Never a dull moment at the house of Terris... Download Helicopter.3GP xc

International Prayer Team

If you're praying today bung a few up for us. The International Prayer Team are meeting at my home in Chichester for our first face to face meeting since the formation of the team. We'll be getting our teeth into topics like prayer cover for our leaders, comin up with the most kick ass resources 24-7 has ever given away and how we equip and support the catalysers in the movement. Quite exciting, still haven't decided what we're having for lunch! xc

It is finished!!!

We've done it! Last night Stephen and I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows aloud to each other, though Steve had to do most of the reading, tears were sliding down my cheeks for the last two hours, stealing my breath. It was absolutely fantastic! She truly surpassed herself... !!!PLOT SPOILER WARNING!!!

Guildford Mission Week

Last Monday, the day of the long slow death of my iBook, I had the pleasure of joining 25 dudes and chicks from the US, UK, South Africa, Germany, Netherlands and Bulgaria to chat about what’s happening worldwide in through 24-7 Prayer. These little opportunities are often a God send because even the though the interruption to my working week may be inconvenient, the reminder that God is on the move is inspiring…

Deathly Hallows Dinner Party

Friday night was fantastic! Stephen and I hosted the fancy dress Deathly Hallows Dinner Party and our friends arrived in incredible costume ready to celebrate the end of an era. I came as Nymphadora Tonks, Stephen as Remus Lupin, Nelly as Lucious Malfoy, Matt as Kingsley Shacklebolt, Will as Dudley Dursley, Helen as Rita Skeeter, Adam as Severus Snape and to trump us all Lisa came as Cybil Trelawny (left)...

The Sleeping Beast

You may remember last week that I was waxing lyrical about a bookcase Steve and I purchased from that household Mecca IKEA last week. Well this innocent looking lump of wood ignited something in me I’ve gone to great pains to squash/hide…

Messing around on my MacBook

One of the less essential but easy to waste time with applications on my new MacBook is the Photo Booth. Hours of fun taking photos and videos with the web cam built into my screen. Here are our first experiments, fun if not flattering…

Almighty intervention...

Once again our Father God triumphs over a pesky yet tempting apple: I am the proud owner of a brand new, asolutely free MacBook! My silence in the last few days has been a frustrated one as I've had loads to write about but no trusty iBook to expound upon...

A momentus occasion...

This evening will be a momentous occasion in my young life. I am not however referring to the Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix film out tonight, but to the construction and careful filling of my first ever, proper bookcase. I cannot tell you how excited I am…

Homecoming

Ever read something that conjours so tangible an image in your mind that it takes your breath away? Night before last I was lieing accross my sofa opening my new adventure/book "The Return of the Prodigal Son" by Henri J.M. Nouwen, glass of wine on the floor next to me and high expectations of the contents awaiting my perusal...

By the skin of my teeth

There is nothing more frustrating than being late by only a few seconds. I think I’d prefer to miss something by a mile than be tantalised with the possibility of catching it if I could only move a little faster…

James & Kate are Wed!

So James and Kate finally tied the knot in a fabulous outdoor/hippy Wedding last Saturday. They looked so blissfully happy and dispite wide spread sunburn everyone loved the outdoor Wedding...

Thundercats are go!

Today is full of good omens (er not that I believe in omens) but it's definitely better than yesterday. Yesterday was the most humiliating day of my life...

Two weeks to Potter 7

I have been very restrained and not blabbed about my excitement about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but as today is 14 days til the release, the dam is broken, I'm all about Potter baby! Here are my predictions, you probably don't want to read it if you're still catchig up on the story, it will include plot spoilers for the story so far. Potter fans please read, I want to hear your thoughts...

Computors & Cake

Mwahahahahahaaaa! Our dinning room has transformed into a 24-7 office of ladies! It is covered in computors and cake. Ah, it's a pleasure to do the work of the lord. Smiles is working on coming up with a second set list, currently she's purusing the sweat fitness compilation. I don't know if my diaphram can keep up. Any suggestions for some party tunes? xc

Dreams of friends

I dreamt of two old friends last night. Women who influenced my life in younger years but the winds of change have blown and blustered and we are no longer in touch. I dreamt I was sitting in a garden reminiscing as the sun went down and our candles were lit, laughing and hearing their thoughts on my current life. It made me miss them… xc

Crazy Constructive Cats

I've been enjoying a fresh burst of motivation and a slightly grazed nose as I've been bent over the grind stone enjoying the feeling of many ticks on my to do list. The invitations to two gatherings I'm pulling together for 24-7 went out last week and it's been a breaking of my perverbial work dam as I've been able to get my teeth into several other topics and wade out of the tired fug that has wrapped it's vice like grip around my brain for the last few weeks...

We came, we sang, we conquered

***Photos added!*** We did it! We actually pulled it off! The DeLoreans rocked The Waterside Pub with our unique offerings from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and today. My highlights include the look of glee on every female face as we segwayed from Love it When You Call by the Feeling into Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlysle, Smiles and Dave singing along to our 2manyDJs tribute - Independant Women into 9to5 and the moment everyone started dancing and singing along!!!
