Change
God is changing me, creating a new and better person, molding me for something different, preparing me for heaven. I find it an uncomfortable process at times.
The old me and the new me are battling for control, right now the new me is winning, but the old me is there waiting in the wings to step in at a moments notice, even at the smallest sign of weakness.
Maybe the battle becomes easier with time, then again maybe not.
I don't usually plug my own poems, but this one is trying to get across what I feel:

Quotes of the week
"If you treat Me as a stranger, I'll be only a judge. If you trust Me, I'll be your Saviour."
"Don't you know that because of My compassion a single act of perfect love atones for a whole lifetime?"
Both these quotes are taken from a book called He and I by Gabrielle Bossis, a journal of her ongoing conversation with Jesus. He speaks with a very familiar voice, words always full of love. If you can, do get hold of this book.

Yes or No (pt2)
This is hilarously funny, I'm tempted to vote for the No campaign just for doing this!
Lack of official campaigns in referendum 'sad day'

Yes or No
I just cannot decide how/whether to vote on the issue of more law-making powers for the Welsh Assembly.
On the one hand I like the idea of devolving power from the centre.
On the other hand I despise the jumped up local councillors in the Assembly and don't like the idea of them having ANY power at all.
Then again should I legitimise their system by voting at all?
I may not decide until the day.

Calling on all Britons to make a fuss
Once again a major British company has provided me with utterly useless service. Why are so many British companies so crap?
I'll tell you why, it's because we let them get away with it!
So I am calling on everybody in Britain to decide not to put up with it any more - if you get treated like crap, give as good as you get - kick up a stink, make a fuss, be bolshie, demand your rights - COMPLAIN!
Only when everybody starts to complain, and threatens to take their business away from companies with poor service, will we finally see an improvement, so go on put the boot in!
