“If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly to hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is not part of the Christian faith.

Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak.

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

Baby Timbrell’s heart beat is good and strong.

I have a number of things on my mind:

• Becoming a daddy in October, and how to be a good husband now, and then
• Two Stag days to sort out
• Making time to read my bible
• Writing two best man speeches
• The lack of house work I’ve been doing
• Buying a TomTom, which one should I get?
• How to get an iPhone without waiting for my Orange contract to expire
• Updating various websites
• How to trick myself into eating more fruit

I am tired.

Thanks a lot Apple, now my flesh is lusting after your brand new 3G iPhone.
