The Hunger Games (2002) by Suzanne Collins. ~ 5 hours reading
Technically I read all 3 of the Hunger Games books the other week but for the purposes of this blog I will just be talking about the first book (the one that was made in to a film recently). In all honesty I read the books so that I could go and see the film with some sense of book-lover-integrity; seeing as they were recommend by both Stephanie Meyer and Stephen King I was a little sceptical as to what I was letting myself in for.

In the beginning God created the world and dwelt with Adam and Eve in the garden. He declared that what he had made was good and walked with his friends in the garden, chatting and enjoying everything he had created for them to enjoy.
Adam and Eve both screw up by believing a snake and deciding they would like to be like God. By doing so they destroy the harmony of creation and everything appears to go downhill from there. (more…)

So last time, I looked at boastfulness, that it’s prevalent in society and what the bible says about it all – pretty heavy stuff! But before I move onto other things, I want to ask the question: What can I brag about?
A lot of guys I know are football fans and they’ll fight amongst each other for bragging rights over whose team is the best. I can’t usually engage in this kind of conversation – my team (Macclesfield) got relegated into the Conference a couple of weekends ago without winning a single game in 2012. So if I started saying Macclesfield is the best team there is, you can be pretty sure I’d get laughed at! To be honest, I’d laugh at myself if I said that! (more…)

Queenie’s Bakehouse stands in juxtaposition with the establishments around it: situated at 21 Station Street many of it’s fellow buildings are shuttered and it stands out with it’s welcoming façade. The café area is surprisingly small given the size of the building, with only a few tables towards the front, whilst the rest of the building is comprised of a number of different workshops and a huge range of vintage merchandise to peruse.
We went there for lunch and although there is a limited range of food, what we chose was lovely. They also have a large range of cakes to satisfy even the most picky cake eater (although that statement has yet to be proven!). (more…)

This is one of those posts where I’m going to try to expand on something I’ve found hard through the years. Sometimes it can feel like there’s this great pressure to be the ‘perfect Christian woman’, to have it all together, look glamorous, be incredibly prophetic and have every gift going. To be the kind of woman who leads people to Christ whilst they’re doing their weekly shopping and never seems to struggle with anything, ever. (more…)
