Wow! What a crazy few days. I’ve been suffering from a nasty head cold while struggling to get this blog up and running again. It was the website equivalent of pounding it with a defibrillator, willing it to stay alive. I’m pleased to say that the operation was successful and it looks like the patient will make a full recovery. The fine folks at Dreamhost have been invaluable and it’s great to have all the Wordpress features finally working as they should.
Youth work-wise, yesterday Pippa and I went to find out about running a Romance Academy locally. It’s a great programme for dealing with sexual attitudes of teenagers and we’re pretty excited about it. We just need to find enough time to make it happen - no small task!
Anyway, as the song goes: “Hello, hello, it’s good to be back!”
OK, so the blog is broken. All that spam has caused my hosting company to suspend the account, meaning I can’t access it via ftp.
In the meantime, I’ve moved hosts and set-up the blog again. I’m just waiting to import the past 4 years of posts to get it all back to normal! Currently, this is the only post on the entire blog! Strange huh?
I hope to get everything back to its usual state by Monday, but for now please be patient.
Dear God is a website where people send in their ‘prayers’ to be posted on the site. Similar to the creative confessional Postsecret, the site allows people to express their emotions and sentiments to whatever higher power they believe in.
It doesn’t matter what your version of God is… Jesus, Allah, Buddha or simply a spiritual universal energy… praying to a higher power soothes and heals. It’s scientifically proven that people who pray are healthier, happier and more resilient.
An interesting idea, and one that is capturing a lot of imagination and press. Go check it out as it is equally inspirational and disheartening.

I’ve had a lot of problems with Spam on this blog recently due to some changes with plug-ins. For some reason or other my hosting server can’t contact to Akismet so I’m trying out some other options which ultimately seem less than good! Anyone got some helpful suggestions?
What all this means for you, dear reader, is that you may have to put up with slow page loading and odd comments with unhelpful links for a short while until I figure out a more permanent solution. Sorry!
Hi all,
Just a quick apology for the lack of posts recently. It’s been a busy old time and I’m now taking a well deserved break on a Thai beach.
Normal service will resume shortly.
