The Great Frrreeze...

Great Brrritain seriously needs some sun!
The Four Horsemen team has been coaxed into temporary hibernation with the sub-zero temperatures hitting the UK right now. (Yeah there was snow everywhere but I didn't get any pics...no one was brave enough to get their picture taken...maybe it's cuz we've also been hit with the dreaded winter bug *GASP*!)
Anyway, on a happier note, Sam's family is back from vacation in Africa so things should start swinging again sooner rather then later.

Below is a cute vid made by one of our friends that pretty much "sums it all up" in regards to life and all its issues. Enjoy :P.

SUCKER FOR LOVE!

New Year's Resoloution?

I was contemplating what my goals for 2009 should be (NOT getting completely hammered at a party EVER again was among my list of options :P). But then I found this poem that really summed up what I wanted for the new year, so, here it is! Who knows, maybe you'll fancy it as well.

Dare To Be Different

Dare to be different. Life is so full
Of people who follow the same push-and-pull.
Poor, plodding people who, other than name,
Try to pretend they're exactly the same.

God made men different; there never will be
A replica soul made of you or of me.
The charm--the glory of all creation
Rests on this very deviation.

Your charm--your own glory, too,
Lies in being uniquely you--
Lies in being true to your best,
That part of you different from all of the rest.
--Helen Marshall

Happy New Year!!

Here's wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Hope you had a smashing eve and an even better day (not too hung over, god willing :P).
Here's Simon (Money) with a few wise words for 2009. Enjoy and stay tuned for upcoming events!

A VERY FOUR HORSEMEN CHRISTMAS!

Here it is, ladies and gents! The official Four Horsemen team's MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!
Ring the bells, break out the mulled wine, and let the carols play!



(A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM HEATHER AND TINA!)



(Aaand, because we promised it...a VERY rough recording of the SET ME FREE skit --- introduced by Sam (Death)!)

ENJOY! MORE COMING SOON!

Some gifts don't fit under the tree....

Our caroling team spent some time over this last week paying special visits to some of our sponsors.


(Our local Honda Branch sponsored 50 GBPs worth of Christmas CDs for the residents of the Care Homes we performed at)

A lot of these very special people have only recently met us but helped our volunteer work regardless.


(Mrs Khan donates battered chicken from her store regularly)

Seeing how appreciative our associates were for our taking the time to sing a few songs for them and drop off some small tokens of our thanks made me think.
Christmas is supposed to be about giving. But how often do so many of us keep what we have in the form of our time, love, patience, and resources for someone who's a relative stranger?


(Drinks and Co. contributed soft drinks for our monthly gatherings, as well as wine and beer for our volunteer Christmas party!)

Jesus came to Earth at Christmas to give us his entire life, and what did He ask in return? That we love Him and others. A lot of people claim to love God, but Jesus says that our love for Him is measured by the love we show to everybody else.

Everyone who helped us, whether it was big or small, showed me that Jesus still loves and cares for me. It was like a heads-up to say 'Hey, listen you; despite everything you feel you did or didn't do this year, I'm proud of you - and I think you're great.'

Christmas can be a lonely time for many people out there. I want to give Jesus the gift of 'me' this Christmas - by giving others my time and love, not just my friends but everybody who needs it.


(Tina and Cate with a Care Home resident who loved our show)

What gift would Jesus like from YOU this Christmas? :D

For Your Info....

I completely forgot to mention this before (my bad) but in case you hadn't noticed, the chat box feature has been removed from the blog for various reasons. (It was ugly :P).
Good news, however: the blog settings have been changed to allow for comments from EVERYBODY (not just other bloggers), so you can comment on any article you want with a simple click of your mouse on the link at the bottom of the post. IT'S EASY AND LOTS OF FUN :D!
That's all for now!

Not So Silent Nights ...

Wow - it's been too long since an update on this thing. But December has been horrendously busy, sooo...where to start?
Okay, so for one, our caroling team (consisting of Tina, Liz (the mature voice of the choir :P), myself and Cate) have been hitting the Care Homes with our half-hour repertoire of carols. It's great fun but a lot of work...we go out, we sing them songs, we come home, then we go out again to carol door-to-door.
On the weekends, our troupe hits the London pubs - and that is a whole other experience in itself!



I have a few pics of our shows but none of us singing in the bars (sorry...but the cameras would likely be obscured with all the beer flying around lol).



So for now, enjoy these and oh yes, almost forgot...

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE OFFICIAL FOUR HORSEMEN CHRISTMAS POST!

There'll be lots of eye candy in the form of personal vids, songs, and a pre-release edition of the new play SET ME FREE. Yes you read that right, but I'll repeat it: a pre-release edition of the new play SET ME FREE.

In the meantime, enjoy your Christmas preparations, and don't forget the Birthday Boy (Jesus) in all your hustle and bustle!
