Fly the Flag!

Just so you know I'm proud to be British. Proud to wave the flag. Also very ashamed that I'm among so few flag-wavers this side of the Atlantic! I took this shot of a prestine Union Flag at Marvern Garden Show a few weeks ago where an ex-student of mine was exhibiting her garden. Now you'll want to see the shots I took of her garden.. so does she! When I find them, she'll get them and I'll direct you to her website. In the meantime, I'll stay just proudly waving my flag!

Recovering From 7/7

A Piccadily Line train around 4 hours after central London deep level tube service is restored, exactly 4 weeks after the 7/7 attacks. That's my backpack - not the most popular carry on baggage. The blog is new, which is why these photos are only now just going up. On the day, I emailed these photos to members of my wonderful Internet prayer group hours before an almost identical shot (sans backpack!) appeared on the front page of London's Evening Standard.

Terror in the Tunnel

Self-portrait, taken as close as I could estimate to the spot in the deep level London Tube tunnel where the Piccadily train bomb took so many lives. I took this on the first morning the system was up and running -- exactly 4 weeks after the morning the terrorists struck. I was alone in the car.. it was very sobering moment as I tried to imagine the carnage, and thought of the loved ones of those lost, and those who were horrifically injured.

Tube Transit Resumes in Aftermath of 7/7

A totally deserted Russell Square station, central London. No commutors; no tourists. Normally, you'd only get a shot like this after midnight on a weekday or really early before 6:00 am. I took this shot on the morning (exactly 4 weeks after the horrendous 7/7 terrorist attacks on London) of the first day the Underground system was re-opened. This is a Picaddily Line tube. This would have been the last thing some precious people ever got to see. We must stay alert and awake and close to God at all times. In situations like this, surrendering to Jesus Christ and making peace with God is all that matters.

Personal Church Survey

Here's a quiz I just took... just for fun. This is how I scored..


You scored as Herald Model. Your model of the church is Herald.The organization of the church is much less important than the urgency of announcing the Good News of salvation to all the world. The Holy Spirit moves the individual to belief in Jesus Christ and to do the will of the Father by sharing this message with others. As with other models, the narrowness of this model could be supplemented by drawing on other models.

Herald Model		89%
Mystical Communion Model		78%
Servant Model		61%
Sacrament model		56%
Institutional Model		22%
