Yesterday I spent 45 mins trying to teach myself how to upload video clips from my PC onto my ipad. Not an idle waste of time but something I needed to master for Messy church next week.

There is a mountain range that should never be climbed. Every time we pray 'Yours Lord is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory' we are reminding ourselves of three mountains we all make regular attempts to climb.
