Back to what we were talking about the other day in Key issues....
we talked about where we get our spiritual development/fulfillment from...I firstly found this a really difficult question to answer but once I got thinking about it I realised that the way that I feel closer to God is usually when I'm on my own and I've been doing something that I don't have to think whilst doing...Like cycling long distance, swimming, walking etc and then I can use that time to think about God.
This weekend I went on a trip with the mountaineering club to snowdonia. On the Saturday we went walking in the Rhynogs (spelling?) and on Sunday we climbed snowdon. I had done this before but this time we took a different track and also the fog cleared just as we got to the top...It was spectacular! I could have sat there all day. But while I was sat there I got to thinking about this 'feeling closer to God thing' and well its been a long time. Lately I think ivy been so busy that I've not given God the time or space in my life that is deserved and I think that is probably why I've been feeling so far away from God...Because I haven't taken the time to be with Him.
This blog seems to be turning into some sort of story of my life, I'm not sure I want it to....I'm going to stop now....
in future I think I'm going to keep it more academic....That was the idea right?
Ok...Time to think of more controversial topics......
Lectures on Creation tomorrow.....Anyone want to start?

Your spelling is spot on Laura.
Ahhh Snowdon, probably my favourite place to be in the world, in fact if it wasn't so cold I could quite happily move to the summit! It has always been the favourite place for me where I can go, switch off and talk to God. And to link this in with the upcoming creation lecture I would suggest to anyone that believes this world was created by accident that they grab there sarnies, climb Snowdon and spend a few hours looking at the world and then if you can, come back and tell me it was all created by chance!
Thanks Sam, i'm going to start a little dicussion about creation after the lecture which is in about 30mins...so hold on to your seats....and get ready for a big bang!
