I am enjoying Wimbledon.
I like the determintation, the will to do well, the will to win.
I like the simplicity of one against one, or two against two.
I like the crowds, enchanted by the spectacle.
I like the Weather, able to delay every game, even ones on centre court, if only by forty minutes.
Most of all though, I like these things epitomised. Epitomised in Murray. I hope he wins.

Love Wins?
I discovered this clip on youtube today.
It is an attempt to explain the gospel. It engages, it teaches, it compels. But does it tell the whole story?
Rob Bell suggests otherwise. He hints that the good news is better than that.
So, did Jesus pay a price for us? Do we need to accept him into our lives? Is the good news just for us?
These are the kind of questions Bell deals with in Love Wins. I am not sure I agree with all he implies, but I do think his work is a challenging reminder of God's love for us.

Ethics
Recently I have been thinking about ethics. I came up with a Personal Ethical Code based on 1 Corinthians 13:
God comes first
Love
Be patient
Be kind
Do not be jealous
Do not be boastful
Do not be proud
Lift others above yourself
Be humble
Stay calm
Forgive others
Do not laugh at others' misfortune
Be honest
Look after others
Trust others
Be hopeful
Persevere
God comes first
Love
Be patient
Be kind
Do not be jealous
Do not be boastful
Do not be proud
Lift others above yourself
Be humble
Stay calm
Forgive others
Do not laugh at others' misfortune
Be honest
Look after others
Trust others
Be hopeful
Persevere
