I am very thankful for the wonderful people in my small group at church, without whom I would never have been able to deal with the story of God striking down two believers in the early Church so maturely, sombrely and seriously. Of course only one of these may actually apply to last night's discussions.....
A mixed selection of thinking on science, theology, church life and general life. Mechanoids, aliens and random thoughts added somewhat liberally. Polite, interesting or amusing comments are welcome.
I am a physicist currently working in biomedical research.
Firstly though and (hopefully) before all else I am a follower of Christ (commonly called a Christian).
I like fudge, roasts, good company, spiders and something else.
Warring, transforming robots are quite good fun too.
