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 [...]

I sat in my jammies til close-to-obscene time today and revelled in the fact that I could do it! Holidays rock. I also enjoyed loading up music onto my brand-spanking new ipod.
I felt a measure of pressure in catching up my Christmas 365 days, because of the incredible stuff others have recorded - made me [...]

I’ve had one of those days where up until the waning moments of the day you think you’ll have trouble doing a 365. But tonight I am so grateful for friends who allow me to practice community with them even with the imminent arrival of the artist currently known as ‘Bump’. Grateful for company on [...]

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, [...]

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.
