Yes. Here it is. Behold. The Cake.
Oh baby.
(Thanks for the recipe mum! :))

For the birthday girl
September 30 08
I am baking a cake! A lovely sticky chocolate cake, hopefully. We’ll see how it turns out.
Photos to follow.
P.S.

For all you cheeky invisible RSS users, I have a twitter feed that is regularly updated. Now, you could either subscribe to that, or, you could view the updates on the blog.
Or, alternatively, you could do neither, because let’s face it, who gives a monkey’s what dave8 is up to? It’s lunch time now, then [...]
Fishy
September 30 08
I’m planning another youth meeting today, well this morning. This one’s about the miracle catch of fish, that breaks Simon Peter’s fishing nets. It’s a good one. Good miracle, Jesus. And just like the miracle of the feeding of the 5000 wasn’t about the bread, this miracle is not about the fish. Come to the [...]
Back from Stratford
September 28 08
Good evening readers. I realise it may not be evening for you, either right now or later on for reasons such as the time difference. I need to stop digressing immediately after I greet you. Do you even need greeting? What is the point of this?
Anyway, Beth and I went to Stratford-Upon-Avon on Friday afternoon, [...]
Fat not water
September 23 08
Good day to my small but perfectly formed readership.
I thought that whilst my hot ‘n’ spicy chicken and hot ‘n’ spicy potato wedges were cooking in the oven, I would update you all on my last few days. However, I don’t have time for that currently, as I have a salad to make. The wife [...]
First dance African stylee
September 19 08
This is Ruth and Esubalew enjoying their first dance, being watched by their bridal party. Soon after this, the bridal party joined them, as did two seemingly professional dancers, hired in for the occasion. Ethiopian dancing looks very strange. It’s all in the shoulders. You’re meant to wiggle them up and down. Some people were [...]
I have an RSS favour to ask of you all
September 18 08
I have just set up a Feedburner account to do all my RSS trickery with. Which is great and everything, but now I have one problem. It doesn’t recognise people who are using my old feed.
I know at least TWO people (listen, everybody starts small ;)) that follow dave8.com via an RSS reader. Would you [...]
Minneapolis bridge reopens
September 18 08
I remember, as it was not so long ago, the I-35W bridge collapsing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US. Does anybody else remember? It made the news (bbc.co.uk/news). Thirteen people were killed, which seeing as it collapsed during rush hour, is nothing short of a miracle.
Today, early in the US morning, the rebuilt bridge was opened. Will [...]
The purpose of God
September 18 08
I have just started reading through the book of Ephesians. Verses 3 to 14 of chapter 1 highlight something that I knew, because my theology states it’s true (my theology? GOD’S theology!) - but it’s very explicitly put forward in this passage. I hadn’t noticed it here before. Here’s the text:
3 Blessed be the God [...]
I need to blog better!
September 16 08
Abraham Piper (a few months ago, now) wrote about why he thinks pastors should blog (link here). Whilst I am obviously not a pastor, Abraham’s post contains six reasons to blog, each of which have inspired me to look after my blog more and to care about what I write in it. For far too [...]
Who Are The British Creationists?
September 15 08
I guess I would fall into that category, then!
The comments that people leave on articles by the BBC amuse, bewilder and entertain me. It makes for interesting reading, and certainly gets you thinking.
The evolution thing. The big-bang thing. The CHRISTIANITY thing. The BBC tries so hard to withhold their opinions, yet their opinions come through [...]
He took water and washed his hands
September 11 08
Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They [...]
Piper on Youth
September 9 08
Yes. Pray for sure. And work our heinies off teaching and preaching and modeling the Truth. And resist an entertainment model for youth ministry. And cultivate a joyfully blood-earnest atmosphere for worship. And call for our youth and our retirees to go risk their lives somewhere for the risen King Jesus. This is where serious [...]
Setting stuff up
September 3 08
Oh look, dave8 is still here.
I’m in the process of slowly sorting out our new house. I’ve been building stuff and doing tons of washing. I still need to put together a vegetable rack, and somehow put all the rubbish in a bin. I don’t think a bin exists that is big enough.
Meanwhile, I have [...]
Hello and goodbye
September 2 08
Hi Lewis! And goodbye - temporarily. My blog will be down for a few days, perhaps, so Jimmy tells me. Hosting Schmosting, or something. I’ll be back soon
Meanwhile, a photo a day keeps appearing at flickr.com/photos/dave8.
