How would you like to celebrate becoming 50 years old? Would you hold a massive party for all your friends and family? Or travel to somewhere in the world you've always wanted to visit? How about starting a completely new chapter in your life by learning a new skill, language, musical instrument or even write a book? Or would you think about doing what we did in 2013 and go for a very ambitious stroll and walk 200-220 miles around the beautiful Cornish Coastal footpath? Come and join us on our journey from St Austell on the south coast, all the way to Bude on the north coast. Follow our trials and tribulations on such a long trek as we enact our plan of visiting pubs and beaches galore and turning the walk into a memorable adventure.

A deep exploration of the Brythonic Celtic mysteries, focusing on the cult of Taliesin, the legends of King Arthur, the tales of the Mabinogion, and how the bardic symbolism of stellar constellations relates to the Welsh landscape.

Whether we are male or female, young or old, a young boy's search for respect is something we can all relate to. The search for significance is an innate desire that permeates our choices, even though we don't always realize it. Especially when what we bring to the table (our natural strengths) aren't so obvious and positive attention isn't so automatic. And so it was with Curio. This is a story of an adolescent's search for himself, told through the bedtime talks between a single, widowed father and his son. Not only does it portray a healthy relationship between father and son, it uncovers many of the paradoxes associated with our search for a respectful identity. Each night, Dad spurs his son on like Jesus would have, with just enough insight to prod Curio's desire for more. Until finally, Curio surprises his father with wisdom straight out of Heaven itself.

BALANCE--that subtle but oh so necessary ingredient for success. Whether it be playing a song, swinging a golf club, surfing a wave, raising a child, or living the Christian life, knowing where to draw the fine lines between the good and the not-so-good is a daily challenge. It can mean the difference between failure and success. We search the scriptures for wisdom, for a new tip to bring it all together, only to experientially realize that the Christian life is more than just a formula for success. To our demise and ultimately the beginnings of our Christian maturity, we discover that there are no perfect formulas, only a perfect God and imperfect man. And even though Jesus Christ is our supernatural link, the fine lines between His way and ours can be difficult to see. For instance, last week were you bold or prideful? Humble or timid? Cautious or fearful? Faithful or foolhardy? So many fine lines; so easy to fool ourselves. Oft unaware, we sing our heartfelt rendition of the Perfect Song...and then wonder why there isn't an encore.
