My Utmost for His Highest

'My Utmost for His Highest' is an amazing daily devotional book by Oswald Chambers that I dip into not as often as I should. It was originally published in 1935 but, like all God's truths, is still very relevant. I have an updated language edition.

I read one of the entries a few weeks ago and wanted to blog on it because I was confused, but I read it again and now I'm not, but I thought I'd mention the book anyway. It's good spiritual food, challenging but good. It's refreshing to read the writing of an author who is so convinced of what it right.

So I went to Oak Grove this morning...

... and the ladies' had a basket for toilet roll in which there was a sign saying something like

'Please use the contents of this basket for everyone's convenience'

:S

Wedding update

We have another meeting with our vicar booked in a couple of weeks to talk about the ceremony arrangements - finally the meat of the planning! I'm looking forward to deciding the vows, songs and readings we use as this is going to be the really important and meaningful part of the day. I think we'll be going very traditional - good old fashioned hymns and most probably the traditional vows including to obey.

As for the rest of the planning, we've designed the invitations and have started making them. There's a tiara in the post (yay!) and I'm going to bed worrying about my dress order. Ben's going suit hire hunting soon. And there's the whole guest list headache - I am NOT looking forward to the seating planning! It would be so much easier to elope...

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace tells the story of William Wilberforce's fight to end the slave trade in the 18th century British Empire. It's an uplifting and inspring film - I enjoyed watching a man with strong convictions live his faith in a very real and pratical way that benefited thousands. I'm reading the book of the film at the moment, a great way to get myself out of the chick lit rut!
