This is an incredible modern day true story of the ‘Good Samaritan’ that happened recently in Sidcup, UK.
CCTV footage shows a woman laying bleeding and unconscious in the road. None of the drivers stopped and some even swerved to avoid her.
I can only assume that ‘fear’ is the major cause of society’s indifference.
In Luke 10:25-37, Jesus outlined the way to inherit eternal life was to ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind’ and to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’. He then proceeded to tell the parable of the Good Samaritan.
The challenge is to put aside our fears and to ‘do to others what you would have them do to you’. Loving your neighbour as yourself is doing just that.
Jesus said….’go and do likewise’.

Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!
Wayne Rooney debuted for Manchester United last night, and what a dream start he had! Scoring an incredible hat-trick in an ‘almost’ comfortable win against Fenerbahce in the Champions League.
At just 18 he does not seem to be effected by the immense pressure and high expectations placed upon him, and Alex Ferguson, the United boss, says he is still developing and can only get stronger. Let’s hope so!
He may play for Manchester United, but the best thing of course is……he’s English! I still wonder what would have happened had he not limped off in the quarter-final of the European Championship against Portugal…..who knows?!

Finding Nemo
We finished our series on CLC at the movies last Sunday. A great one to finish with, Paul Benger shared with us the film Finding Nemo.
Pixar’s best film to date and what an excellent story with a great message of hope for those lost.
The idea of using movies as parables (Jesus style) is a great way of communicating the truth.
Jesus used 3 great parables to present the fact that the Father is seeking out the lost. Luke 15 speaks of the ‘Lost Sheep’, the ‘Lost Coin’ and the ‘Lost Son’.
Read this chapter and see a God who loves us in such a way that he seeks out the 1 amongst the 100! And look also at what each story has in common….there’s always a party when the lost are found!

Space Tourism Just Around the Corner?
Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson has announced his company has signed an agreement worth £14m to secure the first commercial flights into space. (Read more at BBC)
A seat on one of these flights could cost as much as £115,000….I’ll have 2 please!
I think I’ll wait until the price comes down a bit….maybe when Easyjet gets involved!
I would love to see Earth from space though….I’m sure it would effect even the hardest sceptic who questions the existence of a creator God.

What Stung Me?
Up until this morning I’d never been stung by a bee or a wasp. As I set out on my morning run at 6:25am (I was meeting a friend for our weekly jog) 200 yards down the road when suddenly wham! Just above my left knee, a sharp shooting pain like a hot needle.
I thought I’d torn something at first but then realised that it was too acute to be anything like that. I ended up having to drive up the road to my friend to tell him I couldn’t run (a bit embarrassing really)
The amazing thing was I never saw what actually stung me…it was still a bit too dark. So it’s taken me 36 years to get stung but I still don’t know if it was a bee or a wasp….or was it something else?!
I’ve always had a bit of a fear for buzzing stinging insects, maybe this has cured me at last! It wasn’t that bad after all.

In Loving Memory
The legendary English football manager and former Nottingham Forest and Derby County boss Brian Clough passed away this past week aged 69.
He was well loved and respected, not least for his straight talking and sense of humour.
In tribute to the tremendous character that was Cloughie, here are some reminders of his forthright opinions and wit.
"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one" - On his own success.
"If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there" - On the importance of passing the ball to feet.
"I only ever hit Roy the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard" - On dealing with Roy Keane.
"We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right" - On dealing with players who disagree with him.
"At last England have appointed a manager who speaks English better than the players" - On the appointment of Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"I'm sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job, I'd want to run the show. They were shrewd because that's exactly what I would have done" - On not getting the England manager's job.
"Anybody who can do anything in Leicester but make a jumper has got to be a genius" - His tribute to Martin O'Neill, who used to manage Leicester City.
"That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror rather than at the ball. You can't keep goal with hair like that" - On the pony-tailed former England goalkeeper David Seaman.
"If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well" - Saying that too many managers lose their jobs.
"I thought it was my next-door neighbour because I think she felt that if I got something like that I would have to move" - Guessing who nominated him for a knighthood.
"He should guide Posh in the direction of a singing coach because she's nowhere near as good at her job as her husband" - Advice for David Beckham.
"Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while I'm alive" - After the liver transplant which saved his life.
"I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed. I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me." - On being remembered

Top 10 Films Never to Have Won an Oscar
In a recent poll conducted by the Radio Times 6000 people voted the following as the top 10 films never to have won an Oscar (The survey was based on films which had not won best film, best actor, best actress, best supporting actress, best supporting actor, best director and best foreign language film):
1. The Shawshank Redemption
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. ET the Extra-Terrestrial
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. The Great Escape
6. The Wizard of Oz
7. Some Like It Hot
8. The Colour Purple
9. Raiders of the Lost Ark
10. Psycho
More Fools Awards
To John Bloor, who mistook a tube of super-glue for his haemorrhoid cream and glued his buttocks together.
To Henry Smith, arrested moments after returning home with a stolen stereo. His error was having tattooed on his forehead in large capital letters the words "Henry Smith." His lawyer told the court: "My client is not a very bright young man."
To Michael Robinson, who rang the police to deliver a bomb threat, but became so agitated about the mounting cost of the call that he began screaming "Call me back!" and left his phone number.
To Paul Monkton, who used as his getaway vehicle a van with his name and phone number painted in foot-high letters on the side.
To Percy the Pigeon, who flopped down exhausted in a Sheffield loft, having beaten 1,000 rivals in a 500 mile race, and was immediately eaten by a cat. Alas, the 90-minute delay resulting from finding his remains and handing his ID tag to the judges relegated Percy from first to third place.
To poacher Marino Malerba, who shot a stag standing above him on an overhanging rock - and was killed instantly when it fell on him.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
Last night, at church, was the third night in our ‘CLC at the Movies’ series. There are four in the series throughout September. The last one being next Sunday when it will be 'Finding Nemo’ – can’t wait!
It was my turn last night and I presented ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’. One of the main points was all about the kind of ‘True Love’ that Toula finds in Ian which releases her from her mundane life and brings her freedom.
When we know God’s love and experience it for ourselves it brings freedom and releases us from past hurts/present circumstances.
Romans 8:35-49: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
God loves you like this!
There is nowhere you can go; nowhere you can hide that out distances you from God’s love; nothing you can do will put you beyond it; no-one and nothing can get in the way and obstruct it. Uninterrupted, constant, outgoing love from God to YOU!

Classic Lines from the Greats
"It's strange, isn't it? You stand in the middle of a library and go 'Aaaaaaggggghhhhh' and everyone just stares at you. But do the same thing on an aeroplane and everyone joins in." Tommy Cooper
'I took my mother-in-law to Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Horrors and one of the attendants said, "Keep her moving sir, we're stock taking."' Les Dawson
"My Dad used to say 'always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade." Peter Kay
"Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin." Tommy Cooper

Apathy
Talked about apathy at our church staff meeting last night.....here are some great quotes on the matter:
"Apathy can only be overcome by enthusiasm." - Arnold Toynbee
"Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand." - Bodie Thoene
"There is so much apathy in the world today . . . but who cares?" - unknown
"Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being." - Rod Serling (1924-1975)
"Tolerance is composed of nine parts apathy to one of brotherly love." - Frank Moore Colby (1865-1925)
"Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care." - William Safire
"Science may have found a cure for most evils, but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all — the apathy of human beings." - Helen Keller (1880-1968)
"Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear." - Dan Millman
"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth." - Jesus (Revelation 3:15-16)

Climate Changes
With all the news on TV lately about the extreme weather conditions affecting the Gulf of Mexico, the mud slides in the Middle East and South America, along with the dire predictions made by such films as The Day After Tomorrow, we shouldn't forget that England has its fair share of devastating weather too.
Here's a PHOTO illustrating the damage caused to a friend's home from a storm that passed through Chesterfield recently. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.

'Luke.....I am your Father'
A panel of experts (including Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson) have selected the top 30 most important sc-fi moments in history.
From the list on the BBC link I went for Alien and the chest bursting scene. A bit gory I know, but the shock factor made it unforgettable. The Star Wars moment when Darth Vader’s true identity is made known comes a close second.
What’s your favourite?
Of course there are some ‘forgettable’ sci-fi moments. The whole of Star Trek V (The Final Frontier) springs to mind.

At the Movies Part 2
Paul Benger brought the second in our ‘church at the movies’ series last night. This time it was Pirates of the Caribbean. I’ve seen the film several times and wondered what clips he might use. We weren’t disappointed. My favourite has to be the moment when Captain Norrington says of Jack Sparrow, ‘One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness’, and Jack replies, "Although it seems enough to condemn him’
Paul then asked the question, ‘How many good deeds does it take to redeem a man from a lifetime of wickedness?’
The answer…..none. Only one Man could do that!
Romans 5:17-18: The sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over us, but all who receive God's wonderful, gracious gift of righteousness will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ. Yes, Adam's one sin brought condemnation upon everyone, but Christ's one act of righteousness makes all people right in God's sight and gives them life.
By the way, my father-in-law (David ‘Pirates’ Loveday) has seen the film many times, to say he’s mad on it would be an under-statement!
Here’s the script of the movie for you devotees.
All hands to the boats!

Pheasant or Rat Day ?
Yesterday morning whilst out running I came across a dead pheasant lying at the side of the road. I probably should have picked it up and brought it home....well it was in good condition and looked fresh (still warm!). Jane said she would have prepared it as well!
This morning, again out running, just a few yards away from where the pheasant had been lying I found a dead rat!
Is there a moral to this story? What do you think? All I could come up with was, 'somedays you get pheasant and somedays you get rat!'

More from the Holy Grail
The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
[Maynard and his assistant come forward with the monks, carrying the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch on a pillow.]
Arthur: How does it uhm... How does it work?
Assistant: I know not, my liege.
Arthur: Consult the Book of Armaments!
Maynard: Armaments, Chapter 2, vs. 9 to 21...
Assistant: …and Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying...
O Lord, bless this, thy Hand Grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and lima beans, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and lice...
Maynard: Skip a bit, brother...
Assistant: And the Lord spake, saying:
First shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then thou shalt count to three. No more. No less.
Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of thy counting shall be three.
Four shalt thou not count, nor shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch at thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Maynard: Amen.
All monks: Amen.
Arthur: Right. [pulling out pin] One... Two... Five!
Galahad: Three, sir!
Arthur: Three! [throws grenade]
[BLAM! The rabbit, being naughty in the Lord's sight, does indeed, snuff it. Cautiously the party enters the cave.]

Church Last Night
Church good last night. Throughout the month of September our church is hosting a number of Sunday evening events based upon modern day movie themes.
Taking certain films, and in a similar way to how Jesus taught using the stories or parables of the day, we are presenting relevant messages pertaining to life today.
Last night Paul Benger spoke around the movie ‘Gladiator’. So many great moments in the movie to speak about.
Other movies will be…
12.09.04 Pirates of the Caribbean
19.09.04 My Big Fat Greek Wedding
26.09.04 Finding Nemo
I’m doing the one on the 19th, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, a Rom-Com for the ladies!
Anybody seen it? Any suggestions for what illustrations to use?

Jake's First Day
My youngest, Jacob, is 4 almost 5 and it's his first day at school today. Here's a photo I took of him this morning before I left for work. He's really excited and can't wait to get there. I wish the other 3 were just as enthusiastic!!

New from Hillsong
Here’s a new CD/DVD for us all to buy, soon to be released by Hillsong. It’s a live worship compilation by the Hillsong team and Delirious? recorded live at the Sydney SuperDome in July 2003.
I’m plugging it because I was a part of the choir that night…..well me and a few hundred others! Still it was an awesome experience and one I’ll never forget…….wonder if I’m on the DVD?!?

Incredible but True!
Here’s an amazing real life story. Fancy waking up from a coma and finding out you’ve had a baby!
At the Movies
Saw a couple of movies while we were on holiday.
Firstly there was I, Robot. This was ok but there seemed to be something missing. It looks great but the whole thing felt a bit rushed. I guess this can be a criticism levelled at a number of sci-fi movies…so much to cram in without much time for acclimatising us to the time/place etc.
Secondly there was The Bourne Supremacy, this I really enjoyed and highly recommend - much better than the first (The Bourne Identity). Ironically this also felt rushed but of course, if you’ve already seen the first, the characters/plot are already there. The pace of the movie adds to the enjoyment. There’s also a good story-line which is not lost and for a change not too complicated.
