Roy Clements
As a student at Cambridge in the 80s I religiously attended Eden Baptist church. The minister at the time was Roy Clements. I would say Roy Clements is one of the most influential people in my life (after my family). In my opinion he was the best preacher in the UK at that time (Don Carson was the supporting act, Mark Dever was the intern!). For me his special gift was his ability to take a passage from the Bible (any passage) and explain it in such a way as to make its interpretation crystal clear. So clear I often felt as if I’d just interviewed the author to get the inside take, the director’s commentary, on the passage. I greatly benefited from his preaching and often thought the main reason I was in Cambridge was going to church (as opposed to boring engineering lectures).
Although I have had no contact with Roy in the last twelve years, he has clearly been facing some challenges. In fact he seems to have completely disappeared. I recently came across some old sermons of his on tape. They don’t seem to have any copyright so I’ve digitized them and plan to make them available as downloads. The first is a series on Colossians preached circa 1991.
New Federal Government Golf Rules
President BHO has recently appointed a Golf Czar and major rule changes in the game of golf will become effective in November 2010. This is only a preview as the complete rule book (expect 2000 pages) is being rewritten as we speak. Here are a few of the changes.
Golfers with handicaps:
- below 10 will have their green fees increased by 35%.
- between 11 and 18 will see no increase in green fees.
- above 18 will get a $20 check each time they play.
The term “gimme” will be changed to “entitlement”and will be used as follows:
-handicaps below 10, no entitlements.
-handicaps from 11 to 17, entitlements for putter length putts.
-handicaps above 18, if your ball is on green, no need to putt, just pick it up.
These entitlements are intended to bring about fairness and, most importantly, equality in scoring. In addition, a Player will be limited to a maximum of one birdie or six pars in any given 18-hole round. Any excess must be given to those fellow players who have not yet scored a birdie or par. Only after all players have received a birdie or par from the player actually making the birdie or par, can that player begin to count his pars and birdies again. The current USGA handicap system will be used for the above purposes, but the term ‘net score’ will be available only for scoring those players with handicaps of 18 and above.
This is intended to ‘redistribute’ the success of winning by making sure that in every competition, the above 18 handicap players will post only ‘net score’ against every other player’s gross score. These new Rules are intended to CHANGE the game of golf.
Golf must be about Fairness. It should have nothing to do with ability, hard work, practice, and responsibility. This is the “Right thing to do”.

Evie’s Gymnastics
Evie just loves her gymnastics. So much so it’s hard for her to walk across an open floor without doing a cartwheel (Oh to have the energy of an eight year old)! Today was the Little Gym’s 2010 Fall Festival. As part of the event Evie and her fellow Jets (the display team) demonstrated their skills. you can see the video of Evie below. Look out for a guest appearance by Pippa close to the end!

Grandma’s First Cheerleading Lesson
We took this while in the UK this summer. Evie was amazed that Grandma had never learnt how to be a cheerleader. She decided to show Grandma what she’d been missing and coaxed her into taking her first cheerleading lesson. Stephanie and Pippa come along for the ride. I thought Grandma did remarkably well at following along – see what you think
