God showing up in song choices.  Sunday lunch chilling out with friends.  Indifference to an empty house.  An early night!
Oh, and as I drove to my friends’ house, I saw two horses running across a sunlit field – very picture-skew.
Another “oh, and”… I won a wee prize for having the highest ladies’ score at a [...]

A lengthy lie-in, cosy and warm and no pressure to get up.
I was taking the service in my home church tonight.  Talking about my work with students.  Took a different slant and got people within the congregation to talk about their experiences of the CU movement.  It was magic!  Not only did they say exactly [...]

Isn’t room 101 the place where you put things you want to get rid of?  That could be handy for today.
 In the spirit of not-giving-up-ness… I drove by the very pretty sea today and ate Sheila’s homemade fudge.

I led a reflection and praise time this morning.  Something I hadn’t done in a while and something I hadn’t been looking forward to.  Things like that can leave you totally vulnerable and emotionally/spiritually naked before others and that’s… hard.  I know that God was working, though, and I guess that’s a good thing and [...]

A late afternoon hair appointment in which I could actually describe what I wanted done with my hair.  Felt pretty proud of myself for being hairstyle-articulate!  Also, I’ve finally found a hairdresser who’s through-the-mirror chit-chat doesn’t make me want to crawl under a perming machine and dye (hehehehe… sorry).  Though that makes it sound like [...]

I have a secret obsession with shifting furniture.
Obviously its not so secret anymore, but I’m not sure its something to be ashamed of.  Or at least, not the biggest thing I have to be ashamed of…
But, yeh – I shifted the furniture in my bedroom/office because the current layout was doing my head in.  The [...]

I know its still early, but I’m not sure anything today can top the feeling of booking flights to France!  And at a bargain price too!!!

I’ll be going back to Marseille (where I lived on my year out) in January.  I’m gonna climb up to Notre Dame de la Garde and look over the city, [...]

Day seven

The whirring of the mechanics of the printer as it produces a physical copy of a document you’ve spent the day typing. Satisfaction of accomplishment. The beauty of a perfectly printed sheet of paper.
