Heavenly singing

I wonder if I'll get any responses to this?  Over recent months from time to time I have been thinking about heaven and wondered what the singing will be like there.  Revelation 15:3 says they will have the harps of God and be singing the song of Moses.

Sometimes on Classic FM I hear a beautiful choral piece - 'Gloria in Excelsis' was a recent one, and the beauty of the singing voices makes me think of heaven - is that how it will be, music that makes us tingle inside.  Of course being in the presence of God will be the most awe-inspiring thing.

I often think when we are singing in church, surely it won't sound like this!  When I hear the singing of more charismatic churches when you can hear the praise, joy and happiness in the singing, maybe it will be more like that I think.  Of course we do not know, but it is nice to think and maybe feel inspired in our own worship of God.

'O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.' Psalm 96:9

Tri-update

Sorry its been so long since a triathlon update - only 1 week to go now!!

There was a bit of a hiccup in the training due to a heavy cold two weeks ago which interupted training for over a week.  I thought it would be disasterous but there does not seem to have been any long-term effects.  Last week I did two cycle-run sessions and it is getting much easier running after cycling although still not very fast but much less pain!  This week I have done another cycle-run and hope to do one more tomorrow, a couple of swim sessions and that should be it!



I have set a personal goal of trying to complete the event in 2 hours, but that will be very much dependent on the weather and conditions.

Tri-ing more!

Last week I tried something new again.  I have now discovered it is comfortable to run in my swimming costume when it is both dry and wet (because I had been swimming!)






The week's achievements:
Run
Cycle
Run
Run and swim
Cycle and short run - easier this time, but need to be able to run the full distance.


Feel like I am getting there, but hope I am ready in time!!
