This grey squirrel was enjoying its meal so much that it was half closing the eyes, and did not care about what or who went past, putting its safety at risk. Perhaps it was dying for a good meal!

July 2009 marks the 40th anniversary when Neil Armstrong became the first man to land on the moon in 1969.

The first two pictures inject some humour into what you might surprisingly find on the moon.

On the 4th of June, Obama talked about working together to secure world peace.

Teamworking always sounds great and inclusive.

This is Hammersmith Bridge.

When I go to Hillsong on Sundays, I take a bus and a tube.

The bus will go across the Thames River on this bridge.

Sunday - praise Jesus for this is a day that The Lord has made for us to worship Him.

Celebrated Jesus at Hillsong Church.

Went with others to Russell Park for lunch, as usual.

Will pass by The British Museum - took a foto in front of a pair of stone lions

It was taken by a small boy of barely 7 years!

(His dad did a poor job, so I gave it to junior and it turned out a splendid job - just check out the composition!)

Attended a course on effective communication - eg. giving constructive feedback, using graded language, using signposting words, giving effective instructions, etc.

Praise The Lord, I found it interesting and learned many things.

- Today is the final day of a 5-day course on effective communication.

- Glad it is over - each trip to Hendon - bus, tube, tube - alone is 2hrs.

- Nevertheless, it was an enriching course, including a 'teaching practice'.

- The newspapers' headlines featured the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

- During the course, we saw a video of a class learning John Keats' Ode to Autumn

- As Keats described it, autumn is so transcient

- So are tomorrows - they are so unpredictable, temporal and flimsy

- Left the university with a somewhat weary soul

- So many questions

- Did Michael and Farrah put their trust in Jesus?

- What lies ahead after this course? And after my studies?

- Praise Abba - I remember the lilies and the beautifully paved walk on my way in this morning

- Because my Abba promises that He will all the more take care of me, as He has for the lilies of the fields; and that my path in Christ Jesus will shine brighter and brighter - I need not worry about tomorrows ...

- Then the Holy Spirit led me to look at the bulletin board outside Hendon Methodist Church.

- On it is a picture of a sunrise and a verse: Jer 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you

declares The Lord

plans to prosper you and not to harm you

plans to give you hope and a future"

-What a glorious appointment to read God's Word in the midst of my questions

- The verse imparted tremendous rest and edification for my soul and spirit!

Praise Jesus!
