BBC – Nottingham – Faith – God made my leg grow
God made my leg grow
BBC Radio Nottingham presenter Frances Finn has witnessed a miracle. Watch the footage captured on a mobile phone.
This story was mentioned in the sermon at church this evening. You have to watch the footage to see what happens. The event seems to take place without any hype, drama or displays of emotionalism. Just polite applause once the leg has grown.
What do you think?
Decorating our office is to blame for the famine of entries on this blog recently. The office is one of those daunting areas of the house when it comes to decorating. It was full of at least fifteen years of accumulating “useful” things, piles of old magazines, boxes of photographs and loads of what can only be described as junk. Then there are the shelves of books, desks, computers and other legit stuff that the normal life of a teacher and home business depend on.
So it all had to come out. There are three other bedrooms upstairs and they each filled up as we emptied the office. Now it’s almost finished and we’re moving stuff back in. We sorted some rubbish and unwanted things on the way out but now that the new office is shiny clean and bright we are being even more discriminating about what ranks as essential on the way back in. We like the new space we’ve created and the home workplace is taking shape.
There are a few more shelves to fill today and boxes to unpack but it’ll soon be done. That done just leaves a cupboard to build and some tiles to fit behind the wash basin.
So for once “new wallpaper” isn’t for a virtual desktop on my Mac, it’s the real thing made out of trees and recycled stuff. It’s an odd thing isn’t it. Eleven yard rolls 21 inches wide – it took ages to select the right pattern and colour. All that sticky paste and cutting, sliding into place and trimming to ceiling and floor. A palaver at best and downright frustrating most of the time. I’ll post a picture of the new office when it’s presentable.
Have a good weekend
Sorry, an unexpected condition has occurred which is preventing Google Reader from fulfilling the request.
Many of the feeds I use regularly are not updating this morning. Several other users in the Google Reader forum are reporting the same problem.

The chief executive at the prayer breakfast
I had breakfast with Bill McCarthy, the Chief Exec of the City of York Council. I joined about 40 leaders from churches in the city for one of their occasional prayer breakfasts in The Spurriergate Centre organised by One Voice York. Key leaders from the city are invited to talk frankly about their expectations of the churches and we spend time praying in response.
This morning Bill McCarthy appealed to us to welcome the strangers and the disadvantaged into the city. While only four percent of York’s population is from outside the UK, it’s the fastest growing sector. He said it was important to integrate these new people into York and he asked for our help. There were leaders representing a broad range of churches from Independent Pentecostal to Roman Catholics, Mr McCarthy’s own persuasion. There’s a longer report about the event on the One Voice site.
