Interview with Ted Neeley

As promised, here is the interview with Ted Neeley.

Jesus-Christ super star!

Unfortunately, I've never watched Jesus-Christ super star and this is on my list of things to do! I've just listened to a very interesting Skype conversation between Lauren Shows of the YS News and Ted Neeley, who played the title role in the 1973 film "Jesus Christ Superstar." Neeley, along with Barry Dennen, who played Pontius Pilate in the film, will be in Yellow Springs on March 27, 28 and 29, 2015, at the Little Art Theatre, as part of a national screening tour for the film's restored print.

Oups! I can't seem to upload it so I'll share it in my next post.

One question..did you go to watch Jesus-Christ super star? How was it? Did you love it or not? Let me know

Have a blessed evening/day. N.

Jesus is the Son of God

I John 4:15-19
"Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this World.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love Him, because He first loved us."

Bless the Lord oh my soul!

Good morning my dear friends and family, it is such a beautiful day today, I want to thank our heavenly father for all his 'good deeds' Psalm 103: 2. You probably know that song from Matt Redman, the lyrics are below. 

Chorus

Bless the Lord, O my soul

O my soul

Worship His holy name

Sing like never before

O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me

Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger

Your name is great, and Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing

The end draws near and my time has come

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years and then forevermore

A question for you!

Who said that ?

People hold cheap what they see every day of their lives,
but when confronted by extraordinary events are dumbfounded,
though these events are truly no more wonderful than others.
Governing the universe is a greater miracle than
feeding five thousand people
with loaves of bread,
but no one marvels at it.
People marvel at the feeding of the five thousand
not because this miracle is greater
but because it is out of the ordinary.
Who is even now providing nourishment for the whole world
if not the God who creates a field of wheat from a few seeds?

2 clues: His name starts with A.
I'll post the answer tomorrow!

Father, I abandon myself into your hands.

Father, I abandon myself into your hands. 

Do with me whatever you will. 

Whatever you may do I thank you. 

I am ready for all, I accept all. 

Let only your will be done

 in me and all your creatures.

I wish no more than this, O Lord. 

Into your hands I commend my soul. 

I offer it to you 

with all the love of my heart. 

For I love you Lord 

and so need to give myself, 

surrender myself into your hands

 without reserve 

and with boundless confidence

for you are my Father. Amen

Charles de Foucauld (1858–1916)

Sending LOVE to you all from messy church :)

A daffodil in the making

Let's share bread!

Daffodil done!

This messy church took place last thursday at 3:45  in Weston Village Hall. Bring your children and have lots of fun. 

Necklaces, bracelets or key rings! 

I am with you!

When we have to face a difficult situation, it is good to affirm our faith and remember that our Father in heaven cares for us so much everyday. Pick up your bible or google a bible app where you will find many verses that tell us about putting our trust in the Lord at all times and many others that tell us not to be fearful. 

This morning, I stopped on these verses inIsaiah 41:10(NIV)

10 So do not fear,(A) for I am with you;(B)
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen(C) you and help(D) you;
    I will uphold you(E) with my righteous right hand.(F)

Have a blessed Sunday dear friends and family.

Saturday bike ride

 I was wondering why I haven't gone on my bike more often this month, the answer being simple, the weather hasn't been that good! At lunch time, I went out but the wind was very cold and bitter, it started to rain so I came back home twenty minutes later. I went on reading a beautiful book called Faith stories by John Sentamu. At about 2 the idea of biking came back so off I went again. Not far, to the next village called Great Haywood. If you cross the first bridge (for the canal) and then the second bridge (for the river Trent) you find yourself in Shugborough Estate. Well on the path that surrounds it as you have to pay to get in. There weren't many people around. The sun was in and out; it hailed for three minutes. I had a great time relaxing in a beautiful environment. Here are a few photos. Have a blessed Saturday.

Your choice!

As Imogen is a vegan, she has to drink soya milk, on the other hand, Camille has chosen to drink soya milk. When Imogen visits us from uni and then goes back to London, she leaves behind the bottle of soya milk she has started and naturally in order to avoid wasting, I finish it. I actually like the nutty taste of soya milk. Steven on his part does not drink milk at all and hardly uses it in cooking. He will have a black coffee! 

I did a bit of research and after reading that, I am very tempted to switch completely to soya milk.

What do you think? Do you drink lots of milk anyway or not? Have you ever tasted soya milk?

Unlike cow's milk, soy milk is naturally low in fat. Regular-fat soy milk contains slightly more fat per cup than 2% milk, but it is naturally free from saturated fat (which is considered to be more unhealthy than unsaturated fat ). ( More on fat contents in milk )

Because it is made from plant material instead of an animal byproduct, soy milk contains no cholesterol . Dairy milk contains about 20 milligrams of cholesterol per cup. An adult's recommended daily allowance of cholesterol is 300 milligrams, and many people with high cholesterol or some types of heart problems are better off consuming well below the usual RDA of cholesterol.

Soy milk is also high in protein . One cup of soy milk contains about seven to ten grams of protein. This is similar to cow's milk, which contains eight grams of protein per cup. Although some sources say that soy protein in soy milk is undigestible or an incomplete protein, this is not true. Soy milk protein is a complete protein and is highly digestible. Here is an interesting chart! 

What do you think? Do you drink lots of milk anyway or not? Have you ever tasted soya milk?

 

Lent studies 2015

All are invited to attend this Lent course at St Peter church in Hixon. Have a blessed evening.

If anyone is in Christ...

Dear friends, have a blessed day full of joy and peace!

Happy Valentine day!

Time flies and I was surprised to see that the last time I blogged about our Valentine day was in 2012 when we went to Norfolk! 
I hope that you had a blessed Valentine day. After our bible reading, Steven and I had an egg in a bun for breakfast. Then we went to Stone and after a tour in the town, I bought some kale for the rabbits, we had a drink and read the papers. Remembering our engagement that took place 8 years ago!
At 6 pm we walked to the local pub, the Bank House inn where we had a wonderful diner! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Did you have a special time today with your loved one/ones? Blessings, N.
