Help – I think I just started a website…!

November 9, 2009 Andrew McKenna 1 comment

So I was having a coffee break earlier this evening and catching up on what’s going down in the blogosphere. And everyone’s digging those videos from the Passion for Life initiative (Sammy Davies, Dave Bish, Martin Downes, Justin Taylor to name but a few). Lots of good stuff coming out that will be useful in answering people’s questions about Christianity, and in equipping Christians to answer those questions in person.

And so, I started bookmarking some stuff, filing it away with some other videos I’d collected…and then I realised that I had collected quite a few that are in the form of questions that are commonly asked of God/The Bible/Jesus/Christianity – being answered very clearly by godly and winsome, evangelical people. And then Vodpod flashed up a thingy saying  – why not put these all on a nice bit of web page somewhere… so I did! A man with a box on his head and an appropriate font (luck, not judgment) later and…

allow me to introduce…

Seriously though, it’s only a collection of videos at the moment. I would love a site like this to exist for people who do not yet believe in Jesus and who have questions/doubts about Christianity.

That’s where you come in. Please, please, if you read this blog – have a look and tell me if you think it’s got legs. And – if you happen to be one of those “slightly more technically minded than the rest of us” people (you know who you are!) – then I’d love to hear from you if you think you could tech-ify a (largely video-based) site like that. The current vodpod package is incredibly functional but very inflexible.

I have ideas like this every other Monday (it seems like). I tend not to do anything about them tho…!

Octobre

October 29, 2009 Andrew McKenna Leave a comment

No, it’s not a typo – it’s French. Enjoyed a lovely time in London with Ruth these past few days. Autumn happens to be my favourite season so it was nice to see the richness of colours displayed in some lovely parks and gardens around the capital.

They say there’s a song for every season and the one that I always identify with this time of year is “Octobre” by Francis Cabrel. Being French, you may not have heard of him. I like him. It helps if you can understand the words but his music is well crafted and pleasant to listen to whether you get the translation or not. Here’s my attempt at the first verse and the last chorus:

The wind will crack the branches.
The fog will come in its white dress.
There will be sheets everywhere,
Lying on the stones,
October will hold its revenge.

You will play outside like the children of the north,
Perhaps October will remain.
