Men and Fire
On Wednesday the men of the group had a real good day. We were asked to help do some tidying up on a farm. For Josh and me having been involved in farming this was a real treat. I love looking round farms, as I reminisce from the days when I worked on a dairy farm on the Isle of Wight. When we got there we had a walk around two of the fields and had a prayer time. Then in true builder style we cracked open the flask and had a coffee. Then when the owner arrived we had a look around at all the tasks that needed to be done.

Read MoreWheel Chair Races And Walking In Flippers
Thursday we had a surprise lecture down at Living Well Church. When we got there we were greeted by Jen Wolf who informed us our lecture was on disability awareness. This started with trying on safety glasses that had been blanked out or changed to give the different effect of blindness and eye conditions. The tunnel vision one was the hardest one to use, the set of glasses I had were blanked out one side and very misted out on the other. Then we were set tasks of writing, drawing, walking in flippers and a wheel chair route. Whilst this was serious, understanding how people with disabilities...
