Almost there!

39 days!!! :):)

Romans 3:23-24

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," Romans 3:23 But praise be that the verse doesn't end there. "and are justified by is grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Romans 3:24. I think to many times we remember the first verse and don't realize that that sentence is not done. There is a comma at the end of the sentence. The sentence goes on to say that we are justified. We do not have to feel downtrodden because of our sin. We have been given the grace of God as a gift.

Jazz Festival And Rugby Match

Sorry i havn't posted in a while. I have just been really busy :)

So on September 4th I went to a jazz festival that Richard was photographing :):) It was so good! I mean most of the time i was just plying on my ipod while listening to the music. But to me that is what jazz is, something to listen to while you do other things :) It was great! Here are some pictures.





And then on the 12th i got to go to a rugby be game thanks to Lewis Roderick, one of the pastors. After Church we went to his house to eat lunch with his wife. And for the record he has like the coolest backyard ever! And then we went to the game. it was the Newport Dragons verses the Glascow Warriors. It took me a while to get used to the game but towards the end i got the hang of it :) And in the end the dragons won :)

London Day 2

Sorry i am so far behind guys i have just been busy and posting on this blog hasn't been top priority.

So I woke up the next morning with a fairly good amount of sleep and checked out of the place at around 10. After that i went to Starbucks for breakfast and headed off to buckingham palace. To get there i had to walk through these gardens and hyde park which is a beautiful place!!

I would love to go running there every morning.


This was a really cool status in Hyde Park.

So after walking through there i made it to Buckingham Palace where i got to go through The Muse which had all of the carriages including this one that was almost three tons i believe.



And then i got to go through the art collection of Victoria and Albert but i wasn't allowed to take pictures :( The coolest part of the whole thing was i got to see this picture



And then i went to the main area in front of Buckingham Palace. It was so cool to actually be in front of it :)



Oh and i got to see a guard march :):) it was just as funny as in movies



After that i just went through london just looking around before stoping at Startbucks because my feet were killing me! After chillen there for about two hours i got on the bus and headed home :)

London is now one of my favorite cities in the entire world! I loved it! I could easily live there :) So i will be defiantly be going there again.


English fact: There on position for light switches is our off position =P

London Day 1

Okay i have put this off long enough and i can't eat my pizza till i write this so i think i am going to do this.

So last week i went to London for those of you who didn't know. It was AMAZING!! i could totally live there! It is such a lovely town. I went up sunday right after church. The bus ride was only two hoursish so that was great. I got there at 5 and went to Starbucks so i could get my bearings. From there i decided to head down to Big Ben because i wanted to hit that before it got dark. On my way there i came up to this huge abbey and realized that it was Westminster Abbey.


And when i got there i found out that i made it just in time for the Evening Service, which in its self was amazing!! But what was more amazing is that i got to go into the abbey with out having to pay anything :):) So the service was great with the small downside of it being held by a sister, but i was able to get past that fast. After that was done i headed across the street to see the Palace of Westminster


And I got to see Big Ben :):) It was so cool to actually see the places that you read about all the time and see pictures of and dream to see


After taking loads of pictures there i crossed the river themes and went over to the London Eye


Also by then the sun was setting and i was able to get this amazing picture of Big Ben with the sun setting behind some buildings.


So i went and got my tickets for the London Eye went and got in and line and got on. Now i thought that because i am afraid of heights and this thing gets really heigh (Almost 500 feet!!) that i would be really scared but i actually wasn't. That is mostly in-part to the size of the glass capsules that you are in. They are really big and can fit like 20 people. So because of that i wasn't scared at all =D Yay me! And i am so glad i went up because i was able to get some amazing pictures!!!




Okay maybe i was scared just a bit ;)


After the London Eye I headed over to my hostel which was very interesting because one of the parks that i needed to walk through to get to my hostel was closed so i had to go around it. And that meant that for the next hour i was semi lost, wandering around london, or should i say the night london which is totally different, Going down a street that was full of cops and drunk people. But i finally made it and settled into my room. And after being woke up at 1:30 by people coming into the room went to bed.

So that was my first day at London. I will do the Second day soon....Hopefully. And then i will write about this amazing jazz Festival.

Interesting fact about England: The Police Men in London actually wear the funny hat :):) like the tall curved one that all the kids books show them wearing.
