ime is the most valuable thing a man can spend…
... said Theophrastus. I’m sure I’ve said previously that we don’t watch TV much but last night I flicked on an old favourite, Holby City whilst I was winding down after a little evening run. The storyline was covering the end of life of one of the young doctors who had recently discovered he had skin cancer with secondaries that were incurable. Apart from the fact that he was leaving behind his new wife, close colleagues, amazing work and of course he was far too young, what struck me most was the piece just before he lost his life. He was exclaiming, with passion, how totally free his predicament had suddenly made him feel. Knowing that he was nearing the end of his days actually allowed him to live in a way that he chose and not for anyone else. It gave him the opportunity to “selfishly” make choices about how he wanted to spend his time and with whom. Whilst he never made it on the expensive holiday he had booked on his smartphone, he died with a feeling that perhaps we should all have on a day to day basis. One where we feel able to choose how to spend our time, and during that time to choose how we feel. We get 86400 seconds in every day. We never get them back. But if we’re lucky we get the same amount “deposited” in our time bank every morning to spend just as we choose. How will you choose to spend yours today? Until next month, Much love

Food and Drink
As summer approaches, you may find yourself wishing to utilise the outdoor barbecue. This recipe offers you the option to either use this for a BBQ or to cook inside and serve with your choice of vegetables. Ingredients
Equipment: Barbecue or griddle pan
1 lemon (juice and zest) 2tbsp soft light brown sugar 125ml olive oil 8tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 garlic cloves (crushed) 4tbsp mint (chopped) 400g half boneless leg of lamb
Method: To make the marinade mix together the lemon juice and zest with the sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and add seasoning. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and then mix in the mint and garlic. Lay the meat in a deep tray. Pour in half the marinade over the top of the meat and turn it over to coat it on both sides. Put the rest of the marinade to one side to use as dressing later. Then, cover with cling film and choose to leave it for 1 hour or alternatively overnight in the fridge. After, remove the lamb from the fridge, shake off any excess marinade back into the tray before inserting a skewer that goes from one corner to the opposite. Do this again with another skewer but in the opposite direction. You can either cook the lamb on a barbecue or a griddle pan and cook on a medium heat. Cook for between 15-20 minutes. Make sure to turn the lamb frequently until pink or cook for longer depending on your preference. Once you have finished, let the lamb rest for 10 minutes and remove the skewers. Serve with your choice of vegetables and pour over the rest of the marinade.

There’s a verse in the Gospels where Jesus reminds us not to hide the things that God has given Journey to Stubbington – like putting a cloth over a lamp – My family and I moved to but put them to good use, let them Stubbington from Gillingham in Kent. shine out. We love the open spaces, being so near the sea and the sense of Churches most clearly demonstrate community we feel here. In the past, the love of God in Jesus when they we’ve lived in Sheffield, Oxford and are involved in their communities, Glossop in Derbyshire. Stubbington meeting people’s needs and serving is definitely the furthest south we’ve others in Jesus’ name. ever lived!
