As a Chelsea fan…

…I am bizarrely delighted that they lost to Barnsley (and Tottenham come to that). I wouldn’t feel this way if ManU were still involved, but the FA Cup has now re-established its credentials as an excellent cup competition, and all these results are very healthy for football as a sport. I don’t really mind who wins it now (probably Portsmouth) but it won’t be one of the big four. Wonderful.

I also hope/expect:
Arsenal to win the title
Everton to claim fourth
Chelsea to win the Champions League!!!!

A very good point

Today is officially my day off. As it happens I had to drive around 90 miles in a round trip to two fairly important (and good) meetings this afternoon, wearing my most official collar, but as you will have noticed I’ve managed to do some blogging again. What you won’t have seen is that I’ve been catching up on a lot of blog _reading_ – especially of various blogs that I haven’t managed to look at for a couple of weeks. One of which was Pam’s, who has a discussion of this marvellous point:

“there is a difference between: 1) Telling someone the Good News of the gospel and 2) Getting them to come to church”

Oh yes. Although the difference varies with the church 😉
