Hi avid readers!
Relevance in our daily lives. Seems like quite an unusual topic to be grappling with and to be honest at times it is very easy to drift along in life and take a back seat. But being relevant in your daily live means actively seeking and understanding the events happening in your life; while sticking firmly to your principles to your beliefs. It means having the freedom to give friends and family information which is not only useful, but valuable throughout their times of hardship.
If the above paragraph isn't enough of a clue for you, being relevant in your own life means...BEING YOURSELF! For we were made by God:
"13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14
And He knows every intimate detail of our Body, Mind and Soul. He has created us, and created us ALL differently. There are no two people alike, because God doesn't believe in spares. He made us all perfectly the first time; yes we have failures, yes we have fears and minds that can wander, but these are the things that MAKE us human. These are the things God is constantly helping us work on in our own lives, even if we can't see it at the time.
Being relevant also means living in the present, FOR the future. It means planning ahead and understanding that not all things can be prepared for. Dwelling in the past can be dangerous, not only to you but also to your friends, to your family; yes lessons can be learned, but only when you can look back without being bogged down by it all. In the end God has a plan for each of our lives, all we have to do is ask Him what He wants us to do/say/act and God will provide the Spiritual Effect.
It may be hard to see but God is constantly working behind the scenes, in each persons life everyday. It may just happen that you say something, which that person has been thinking about for a long time which helps them understand life more. Thus we all have a responsibility to project the best image into the world; even if it's smiling more, or becoming slow to anger. God can and will use what you are prepared to give to help others.
Well I hope this firstly is useful to you and that you can make sense of it, so that you may become more relevant in your lives.
God Bless

The Quarterly
By now it may have become apparent to you loyal readers that this blog is neither punctual or frequent. Yes I do listen. However these are things that I cannot change unless you wish to see a drop in the *high, high* quality of these written works.
This year however there will be more of a theme for each...lets say month.
January: I will be thinking about relevance in our lives and also in society. How can we be more relevant?
February: The topic of application will crop up. Can we apply ourselves more? Who can we look to for motivation? And indeed in a life where death is most certain, why should we bother?
March: Renewal of life goals and what you want to accomplish in life. Is this where I saw myself 2 years ago? Will I ever accomplish anything worthwhile/memorable?
And that concludes this part of the quarterly update. Remember to Keep on reading, enjoy your life and tell your friends where you learnt it all...yes school!

2012
So here it finaly is! 2012, the year which has been overhyped ever since the Myan people decided to reset their calender at the end of this year. Of course, though many people believe in this take on events; I do not. It's nothing personal, simply I believe this year will be a stepping stone to something greater...
There are many more exciting things happening this year. We (or should I say Britain) is holding the olympics to the tune of several billion pounds these things> £! A chance for people to exercise their various limbs and torso muscles in order to prove which country is most athlectically superior. Of course the rest of the population (of Britain at least) will be exercising their (finger) muscles, turning the TV over!
Ah yes! February will mark the diamond Jubilee of our over used and under seen monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Thats 60 years since the royal buttocks first brushed the throne of England, Canada, Australia and New Zeland...apparantly...Of course it's just another occasion to drag out the outdated systems and dust of the silver, as they wave to us 'common as muck types'.
In august the world will rejoice as the Curiosity Rover (?) will land on Mars of all places! This basically means a group of highly trained scientists will get to muck about (sorry perform detailed and complex experiments) with the solar system's most expensive R.C with a response time of well over 30 mins! On a dust ball, more commonly regarded as our universal neighbour.
Anyone in England, or with a burning desire to learn both history and computing will be happy to know that the Cambridge University (group of stuck up toffs (no offense)) is running a Turing Convention. Which ends on the 100th anniversary of his birthday. Of course we all know Alan invented the calculating machine, which was pivotal in inventing the computer.
So a pretty packed year from anyones point of view. Unless you really dont care; in that case i'll play a small sad violin solo for you...(someday). For everyone else, have a great year and "Be excellent to each other"
