Beginnings

Well, here we go! My normal life continues to be an adventure, as I set up a blog for the first time - not helped by a crash half way through the process. Hope this works!

So, why the title "Normal Life Adventure"?

Basically, I'm just a normal bloke. Well, actually I am a chartered engineer specialising in hydraulics in sewage treatment works and sewer networks. That's the dull part. I also have a wife and six kids - more of an adventure! But deep incise I'm just a normal bloke.....except....one day when I was a child I was listening to a tape (1969) of a sunday school choir singing

Into my heart

into my heart

come in today

come in to stay

come into my heart, Lord Jesus.

I realised that that was what I wanted, that intimate presence, that close relationship. That night my mother (come on, I was only 5, I needed some guidance) helped me to ask Jesus into my heart.

And so my normal life was changed into an adventure. I stopped being just a kid, and became a God-kid. A kid stuffed full of God. A bag full of gold bars is more than an empty bag, isn't it? A kid full of God is more than just a kid!

Well, my lunch break is coming to an end so I will have to stop typing. But as I continue to blog i hope to show how life with God changes a normal bloke's normal life into an adventure.

And by the way, I am not as illiterate as my typing would suggest - I just can't type very well. Who cares! See ya tomorrow!
