Slept like a baby last night – soooo good. I loved waking up and pottering down to breakfast like it was 2005 again… Only this time Jan-Willem (the oldest boy) was now at school and it was his little bro, Jack (who’d been grumpily distant last night) who was grinning at me and bringing his [...]

The French IFES’ movement (and my excuse to come to France) started this afternoon and I was launched into French conversation and singing French praise which was cool.
However, the best conversation of the day started in French and ended up in English…
I did a Bible College placement in Tours in 2005 and met Raphael and [...]

I really enjoyed church this morning. My church isn’t big or flashy, but its a managable wee community that I feel I can actually get to know. A no-nonsense chat with a lady I’d more or less just met about prayer and her son’s faith; some inspiring teaching from Acts; a chance to speak French [...]

Aaaaahhh, Sunday! Hurrah!
I was at my home church this morning with Mumsie (being Mumsie’s Day and all that…) and once I got over the fact that I was jealous of the fact that life appears to have gone on without me, I appreciated the fact that life has gone on – there are new people, [...]
Well, this is it… The day that makes a farce of my ‘365′. The anomaly of the 29th of February which means that I should actually call this my ‘366′.
A somewhat unobtrusive day where I enjoyed the simple pleasure of a cup of coffee in escape from the rain, a chance to propose (in jest I [...]

A satisfyingly productive morning when a talk came together despite me thinking I had NOTHING to say!
SLOBS looked to be a difficult one, but again I was overwhelmed by the real sense that the Small Group Leaders are growing so much. I loved their engagement with Scripture, with each other and with me – what [...]

Today started out dull and unsettled because of some random unpleasant dream that I can’t quite remember. But after some conversation at church I felt better. Then an invitation to lunch turning into an entire day’s company was much needed. All it lacked was a game of Scrabble…

(The intrepid ‘explorer’ returns – heralding feverish blogging to catch up…!)
Sunday. Bit of a hectic one this week with preparation and packing for the conference. But it was still good…
Led praise in church this morning which was fun and it all went well – its great when you have musicians who can just follow your [...]

Being able to sit in my living room while I work! Not making a habit of it though – far too dangerous!
An unexpected excuse to meet a student.

A church ‘curry night’. A good meal with an opportunity to feel more relaxed around church people
