Wow where did those 30 days + go since my last blog - time is flying at a ever quickening place.
A new year is nearly upon us and I suppose I am in a comptemplative mood
A year past
Highlights this year have included
- Of course the Degree and the hooley surrounding it after the tearinng hair out get it!
- Revisiting Africa - which I will write about sometime
- Claires Results
- Getting into Queens to do my PGCE
A new one just beginning
This has been an amazing year as well on various fronts - it is all very exciting this year to find out where He wants me to be in September - wether in Dublin on one side of a desk or on the teaching side up in a class room
What will happen with the youth work in the parish?
Taking on more upfront leading at home is going to be difficult but I know with him I can do it!

Hectic
Can life get anymore hectic?
3 weeks in to my placement - Things are going great - but it is simply an endless stream of lesson plans, resources and ppt presentations
Our tutor from QUB will undoubtabley be out sometime soon so it is essential that the file is kept up to date.
But life in DHS is great - brilliant HOD and staff are great.
Church - well it is frustrating at times - the old problems seem to keep re-emerging youth numbers, apathy and general generalness
lots of things happening - only about 30 days or so to Christmas which will be nice to have a break
Cheers

WOW!
Time is really really Flying
This time last week I had just graduated, I was running around in a van with julie collecting stuff for summer madness, Mum and dad had just left for England. One week on and summer madness, the cavern, and graduation have all been assigned to the history books for this year.
However today is turning out to be a day which will go down in the history books. I was sitting in bed this morning - watching the TV when the LOndon Underground seemed to go down then an hour later it was seen as a more sinister thing - when bombs went out over the city sitting halway through the day we see how bad humans can get.
Things are very confusing! 8 men are up in Scotland attempting to allieviate poverty, reduce pollution ... and people try to stop this from happening
Life has its ups and downs Tony Blair yesterday was sooo up beat with having london won the olympic bid - "It's not often in this job that you punch the air and do a little jig and embrace the person next to you,"
and today
"Just as it's reasonably clear this is a series of terrorist attacks, it's also reasonably clear, that it is designed and meant to coincide with the G8."
BBC political editor Andrew Marr said Mr Blair was clearly extremely upset when he gave his reaction to the blasts.
How this day, week and month turns out as the old saying goes - "God only Knows" which is soo true
Now attention turns to the Uganda Trip - in under 72 hours I will be in the airport read to embark on a trip to uganda - I cant wait - please continue to pray that the polital situation would be a factor in the arrangements for the trip
