    Seeing if something happens here, as I play and plan with some widgets. And I do hope that if something doesn’t work and I miss it, you’ll all shout with one voice and make me aware of things.

    I’ve also imported all, or most of, my old posts from my blogger account. That way it looks like I’ve been here for years and years.

    A modern day meeting of Elijah and the Prophets of Baal?

    The news that Chrisitan Voice have complained to the Advertising Standards Authority over the atheist ‘No God’ campaign made me squirm. I couldn’t help thinking that proving whether or not God exists in a court of law (if it went that far) is pointless and would get nowhere. It may even have a negative outcome for those wishing to tell others about their own faith.

    However, I then wondered whether this is the same situation that Elijah may found himself in when confronted by the Prophets of Baal. He had to prove that ‘his’ God was more powerful than Baal and… well the story is here

    I have a certain kinship with David Seah. I don’t know him apart from following his blog and a very brief piece of twittercourse. However, I have found that many of the issues he talks about online are very close to my life and heart.

    It was with great interest that I read the post below on meditation and praying. I too have been increasing ritual in my own life over recent months. The hack that David shares is both simple and deep… just as prayer can, and perhaps should, be.

    “I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.”
