Today a friend spoke to me to apologise for a comment that they made to me on the weekend. I said I took no offence to the comment and that the apology wasn’t necessary (I knew that the comment was in jest). I did, however, say that I thought that it was a good thing to receive the call and that it showed great character.
Sometimes we are slow to apologise. I need to be quick to apologise.

The above picture is from Episode 43 of On the Poddy
On the Poddy (ccecyouth’s weekly podcast that Dan and I put together) is back in the top 25 on iTunes!! Yesterday we peaked at #22 in the Christianity section.
If you’ve never listened to On the Poddy, go to this page to check it out. If you like it subscribe to it in iTunes to help us move up the rankings. Click here to subscribe.
Have you listened to the 2 new episodes this year? What did you think?
Tomorrow we will be starting a 12 week series in two local high school lunchtime Christian groups. The Series is called JESUS The Real Deal. Each week is based on a chapter from John Dickson’s A spectator’s guide to Jesus (find the book here).
Dickson also has a podcast on the content of this book – which will help in preparing each week.
There is some excitement brewing over this series – and I had an exciting meeting with the leadership team from one of the schools early this morning.
I really like the poster (click to make it bigger). It only took 10 minutes to make – but is very eye-catching. Please pray for these groups.
Here is a bootleg of Crown Him With Many Crowns. It was written by some bloke a long time ago – and Dan Godden has recently written a new tune to it. It is my favourite song at the moment – and I think the best hymn re-write that I know.
A few people (non-CCEC) have mentioned that they wanted to hear it – but it hasn’t ever been recorded. So… last night I made a bootleg!! I simply used an mp3 player and sat it on the chair. It was probably a bit close to the front so it distorted a little bit – but it’s not too bad. Dan normally plays guitar and leads this song – but he didn’t last night. So it’s not as tight as normal.
Here’s the link again. Let me know what you think…

The men from our church who are travelling to MKC might feel a bit gypped. Our senior Minister will be speaking as well as Frank Retief from South Africa. Why would they feel gypped? Because they hear Andrew every week – and on Monday night Frank Retief will be speaking at our church!! But there’s much more to Men’s Convention than whether you hear the speakers regularly or not!
I’m not going to MKC – but if you are hope it rocks.
Below is the info our church has put out. The info has been passed on to other churches – so if you’re not from CCEC – you’re more than welcome to attend.
SHARE THE VISION with FRANK RETIEF
For more than 30 years Frank pastored a large multicultural churc in Cape Town, South Africa. In the midst of significant political and social upheaval in that country, God has used Frank’s church to declare the message of hope to many South Africans. He is an inspirational Bible preacher and has travelled widely preaching in different places.
When: Monday 19th February at 7:45pm
