Nothing...simply nothing at all!!

That has been my inspiration level recently, nothing. So anyway just thought I would log on and say that.

Mind you one thing recently is that I have seen '300', fantastic film which tells the story of 300 Spartans defending the 'Hot Gates' officially called the Battle of Thermopylae. I know that the film is 'loosely' based on the true historical account but shows what team work can achieve in the face of insurmountable odds.

Anyway get to see it whilst you can.

316!

On Sunday a few of us went to see Bristol Rovers in the Football League Trophy Final (can't bring myself to call it the Johnstones Paint Trophy, just doesn't sound right.) Anyway our tickets stated we had to enter the Millennium Stadium through gate 316.

So we made our way to the ground and waited outside at an appropriate spot, to which Tom Smye says "So where is gate 316", I reply simply by saying "Look up Tom" for him to see directly in front a 30ft post with a 4ft sign attached to it with the number 316 on it! Tom bursts out laughing and states "You're going to have to blog that" so I have!

We had a great day, shame about the result but if you decide that you're not going to play for the first 5 minutes then you will go 2-0 down. But if you ever have to go to the Millennium Stadium:
1/ Drive there, don't get the train!
2/ When you join a queue to catch the train home, don't join the one for Bristol Parkway join the one for Temple Meads wherever you live, you will definitely get home a lot quicker!

Just heard this...."Remember..your focus determines your reality."

Great line, loads of truth.

The Virtues of Running.....finally!!

Having begun my training for Half Marathon I can honestly say I am starting to enjoy running..sorry that definitely should be jogging. If anybody has seen Peter Kay I am currently 'dad running.'

Anyway exercise really does make you feel better! I am starting to regret those wasted years of a very sedentary lifestyle.

Let me give you a tip, if you are thinking about it get out there and do it, you definitely wont regret it.

Belief vs Faith

Have been thinking about faith today and also sometimes how I really do lack faith, whether this be a natural or a supernatural thing and in doing so came across this great story about belief vs faith...

Have you ever heard about the guy who walked a tight rope across Niagara Falls? Many people watched him do it. To them he asked, "Do you believe I can walk a tight rope across the Falls?" They all replied, "Yes." They had already seen him do it.

Then he pushed a wheel barrow on a tight rope across Niagara Falls. When he completed the feat, he asked the onlookers, "Do you believe I can walk a tight rope across the Falls pushing a wheel barrow?" To that they replied unanimously, "Yes." Because they saw him do that too.

Finally, a buddy of the tight rope walker climbs into the wheel barrow and the tight rope walker pushes him across the Falls. Wow, what a daring feat! When they finished, the tight rope walker asked the crowd, "Do you believe I can walk a tight rope across the Falls pushing a wheel barrow with a person in it?" To that they exclaimed, "Yes!" For they were now believers in this guy's awesome abilities.

Then he looked at the crowd and asked, "Who's next?"

There you have it... Belief vs. Faith...!

Great story, great challenge!
