| I Wish |
I wish there were some wonderful place
In the land of Beginning Again
Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door
And never put on again

| What is Easter all about ? |
Last year a survey published by supermarket chain Somerfield showed that many youngsters in the UK do not know what Easter is all about.
Somerfield’s survey, which was conducted as part of a marketing campaign, found that one-in-six 16 to 24-year-olds know nothing about Good Friday, the commemoration of Jesus’ crucifixion.
Meanwhile, 10 per cent are in the dark about Easter Sunday, which marks Jesus’ resurrection.
1,130 adults were quizzed by Somerfield for the survey.

| Cockerel On The loose |
 Sailing ships, vintage cars, owls, dragons, steam engines, cats, footballers, modern weathervanes come in all sorts of designs. But originally, there was only one design, the cockerel, with its proud head and plumed tail. In fact, the weathervane, as we know it, seems to have evolved by accident.

 A lot has gone on in the life of New Orleans-based Jake Smith recently. Brimming over with musical talent, he has used these life experiences, most of which depress the best of us, to inspire his songs, leading to a brilliant debut album Real.
Talking to Challenge while on a US tour, Jake’s enthusiasm for his music, his family and his faith shone through.

| It is Good to Talk |
Our Father in heaven,
May your holy name be honoured;
May your kingdom come,
May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven;
Give us today the food we need;
Forgive us the wrong we have done,
As we forgive the wrong that others have done to us;
Do not bring us to hard testing, but deliver us from the Evil One.
(Matthew 6:9-13)

| love is a Bridge |
What links Dave Bennett to a Cadbury’s Cre`me Egg? Well the answer goes back to 1893, not that Dave was around then! In that year the daughter of Cadbury’s owner, Helen Cadbury, founded The Pocket Testament League, now known as Bridge Builders, a charity whose one goal is to pass on the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Dave Bennett is today the National Director of Bridge Builders and here he tells his story and that of Helen Cadbury.

| My Story:Dave Bennett |
Like many of my generation, as a young person, I attended Church and belonged to a Church youth group. I first understood that Jesus had died for my sins through a conversation while waiting for a bus. I just missed a bus and had an hour to wait for the next. Another man sat waiting with me and we started to talk. He asked me about my beliefs and shared the Gospel with me using John chapter 3 verse 16.
‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,...

| A Passionate Gift |
Twenty years ago if someone had asked me whether I believed in God, I wouldn’t have hesitated in saying ‘yes’.
Yet, I never gave Him a thought. I never prayed, I never went to church and the only time I opened my Bible was when I slipped in a new flower to press.
Then, just before Christmas 1987 both my parents died. I found myself praying; petitioning God to care for them.

PROBLEMS! PROBLEMS! ‘NO PROBLEM?’
I recently changed my broadband provider. After hours, days, weeks or months of things not working properly some ‘bright spark’ at the other end of the phone (if you can get that far!) glibly says ‘No problem!’. I can picture his Colgate white dentures glowing under fluorescent lights as he says it! Whether his accent is American, English, Indian, Irish or Scottish the problem often continues after ‘No pro ...
