Colin Townsend <castlering>


Well, I'm 34 years old, quite tall (that's according to most folk who are also mostly shorter than me), blue eyes, brown hair with grey bits and skin coloured bits, etc and so on.

My roles in life are numerous and several:

*Dad
*Husband
*Christian and Jesus Freak
*Missionary
*Researcher and general 'need to know everything' person
*Educational Notetaker
*IT Tutor
*British Sign Language user (currently working towards NVQ 3)
*General Misfit

I live in sunny Walsall with my wife Lyn and our son Daniel, born January 2006. Life is good. Lyn's an educational sign language interpreter, and I'm following in her footsteps aiming to do the same thing, along side gaining a teaching qualification eventually leading to something to do with Deaf education...we will have to see!

2008
Hi all,

I'm not on Bebo a lot am I...I've discovered Facebook, but to be honest that's boring now. There's a novelty factor associated with all these online blogs and profiles which for me at least wears off very quickly. There are very few personal messages sent - 99% of everything I receive either here or on Facebook are just forwards from people who in turn received the video, picture, soundbite or profound messages that's supposed to prick your conscience and had nothing better to do than just to forward it on rather than say anything personal. I admit I've done the same - and I'm bored of it.

So there you are. 2008 I imagine won't be the busiest year for me on either Facebook nor Bebo, and I hope I'm not sucked in to the latest thing to come out, whatever emerges - I'll get bored of that as well.

Life's just full of so many better things!!!! We need to be doing other things than just sitting on our behinds - like I'm doing now as I type this out.

Anyway, I'm actually ok, quite content with things. I'm hurting, but I'm also happy.

Blessings love and peace, and happy new year.

Colin.

I've hardly been around Bebo these past few months (I can't really say weeks). I've just been otherwise engaged, or doing other things online that probably amount to more resourceful use of my time. However, I've not forgotten Beboland - it's just....not the same as it used to be *sob*.

Hope that you're all well out there. We're good. We've had a frantic and wonderful summer, camping here, there and everywhere else as well. Been superb. Daniel is now 8 months old, thriving and the docs are happy with him (despite a few scares). Lyn's back at work on the 18th of September after 10 months off for maternity; I returned last week after having the summer off. We've just bought a new car which we're taking delivery of on Wednesday the 20th (a Vauxhall Zafira). It's all good.

See you round soon. Oh, on one of my quiz questions, the timeframe has moved a little bit - I've been a Christian one year longer now than the actual 'correct' answer. It's just a pain that I can't edit the questions or answers!

Blessings to you all,

Colin :)

Quiet here, but lots happening
It's been a couple of months since I last added anything to Bebo. The reason - the emails that I send out go out to everyone that would ever read the Bebo entries, so it's a case of doubling up, so I don't. I think I might add a huge splurge sooner or later, but at the moment, with everything that's going on, there isn't much point. Please let me know though if you want them here too.

Things are going to be even quieter for the next couple of weeks as we're off on holiday camping, firstly to Dorset, and then to Norfolk, where we've never been before.

Thanks for all your messages and support - you're all stars :)

See you soon!

Colin :)

CAUTION
THIS IS A CAUTION NOTICE;-

THERE MAY BE A VERY STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT COLIN WILL NOT BE THE TALLEST PERSON IN WCC.

*************************

STATISTICS SHOW THAT BY THE TIME DANIEL IS BETWEEN 10-20 YEARS OLD, HE WILL BE TALLER THAN COLIN.

The Greatest Gift to Give, by Paul Faulkner


Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise,
making the most of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians
5:15-16 NRS)

A young and successful attorney said, "The greatest gift I have ever
received was a gift I got one Christmas. My father handed me a small
box, and inside was a note saying, 'Son, this year I'm giving you 365
hours -- an hour every day after dinner.' My dad not only kept his
promise, but every year he renewed it. That's the greatest gift I have
ever received in my life. I am the result of his time."

It was the best Christmas gift he had ever given!

Curtis Meadors told me a few days back that he had done basically the
same thing. He gave his children -- as a Christmas present -- the gift
of time. He also thought it was the best Christmas gift he had ever
given.

Maybe this Christmas is the season for giving the gift of time to your
children.

God bless you and yours in this season of joy, peace, and love!

Hi Mate

They did that quiz thing at Dan & Ehren's cell which my brother took and turned into a quiz. I just copied the idea.
