Open your eyes

Well done to all of you who got the name of the that film, it was indeed, "Bring it on." Glad to see i'm not the only film junkie! Although judging by Callum and Justins extensive dvd collection from saturday night, i'm clearly not the worst!! By the way karen, I do hope Fred has recovered from the vicious attack on saturday night and hope theres no long-term psychological damage. People just don't seem to realised that cars have feelings too- have they never seen Herbie?!

On a completely different point and at the risk of sounding cheesy, I think that we don't always appreciate creation enough- like have you ever just looked around you at the countryside and just been amazed at all God has made? I was in Newcastle on Saturday, having a picnic beside this waterfall in Donard forest (no slagging please) and it was so beautiful, I think it does you good just to step back for a moment and appreciate the wonders of creation. Little poem:
Open your eyes,
What do you see?
Do you see all creation?
Do you see it's beauty?
If not, then you should
Open your eyes some more,
'Cos it's waiting out there
For you to explore.
Ok, well now it's time for me to go now, get some lunch. Think soup would be good today cos it's freezing in here- yes im still in two fleeces, Colin still hasn't got a heater. Wotcha playin at bro? Get it sorted! lol!

So many times have I walked home from school and ignored what was around me, but a couple of years ago, I just stopped and looked around and thought, "You're amazing God!"

Nice poem, did you write it yourself? If so, your quite a poet.

p.s. Get that heat sorted Colin!

I have to agree that Newcastle and the Mournes in general are great for appreciating God's amazingness. Hope you're enjoying your week off (mostly) and getting sorted for Newry.
