Quotes that I happen to like
So, over the past week, ive been listening to a vast array of musical talent. So as I lay / sit / stood (insert possible position), I found the following to hold much value to myself – for a vast variety of reasons. None the less, I thought I would share it;
“The past is behind us, what has been, now is gone, but right now is with us and we must carry on, but when regret closes in, I dont think what might of been, I think grace and I know whatever comes, he’ll make a way! This time, this is what counts, this is what our lives are about, this time..”
and..
“It’s the heart afraid of breaking, That never learns to dance, It’s the dream afraid of waking, That never takes the chance, It’s the one who won’t be taken, Who cannot seem to give, And the soul afraid of dying, That never learns to live..”
and…
“What the hell were we thinking, Were we thinking at all, What the hell did we believe we’d achieve, We stood there with our hearts exposed, As the others said I told you so, What the hell, What the hell…”
and..
“Close your eyes and they’ll all be gone, They can scream and shout that they’ve been sold out, But it paid for the cloud that we’re dancing on. So shine on. Just shine on! With your smile just as bright as the sun. ’Cause they’re all just slaves to the gods they made, But you and I just shone. Just shone.”
So those are just a few for now that I have enjoyed.

A Prayer Request for Davide
Update: Davide will be returning home tomorrow. He has been recovering well. Thank you all for your prayers. Keep praying that the healing continues. It is greatly appreciated
###
Just a quick request to anyone who is reading this website. One of my good friends- Davide, recently got badly injured at a hockey game stadium. He was avoiding a small child who came out in front of him and fell down the steep concrete stairs. He has been in hospital since Sunday and has been in and out of intensive care.
So my request is that we pray for Gods hand to be upon him at this time and that Gods will will be done in this time. Davide is a very special person – he has a beautiful family who needs him, he has friends who need him. Please pray for him.
I would and im sure all of us would appreciate you doing this.

I had some new picture taken for 2010 today. Here are my favorite ones. I know they are all of me – but this is “www.noelharrison.net” – so what do you expect?
Clear the kitchen. Im cooking tonight!
This evening I decided I was going to cook for my family. I went into the kitchen with no idea of what I was going to make – but in the end the outcome was most acceptable.
So incase (by some rare chance) you want to try and make it yourself, here is how to go about it;
You will need the following things;
- 1 fresh tomato
- 1 large onion
- 1 small can / tin of tomato paste
- 550 grams of ground beef
- Spices (ginger, cinnamon, chili powder, chili bits, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt)
- 1 can / tin of red kidney beans
- 1 1/2 cups of greek style yogurt
- Olive oil
So now that we have these details, you would go about producing the end product as such;
- Wash the tomato and onion
- Chop the ends of the onion of and peel the skin (I think thats what you call the layers covering the actual onion)
- Chop the onions and tomatos (they can be fairly largely sliced / chopped)
- Put the pot on the stove and insert a fair amount of olive oil
- Wait for the olive oil to start heating up, then add the chopped up onion
- Add the spices all together and mix with the onion
- Once the onions have become brown, add the ground beef, kidney beans and tomatos
- Add the tomato paste and 1/4 cup of water
- Once the ground beaf has cooked, drop the temperature on the stove to a simmering level and add the greek style yogurt
- Leave to simmer for 20 minutes
This can be served with rice (as I did) and I also added some peas and corn and a few carrots (more for colour). Hope it works for you.
Enjoy,
