Took the train down to Dublin this avo. Its actually very relaxing even if it takes forever: reading, listening to my ipod… grrrrrreat.
Dinner with “collegues” - who are so much more than just that - outside a restaurant in a surprisingly quiet waterside area of Dublin as the sun set. Food was great too.

Hmmm… Oh - I know! I loved this morning’s bowl of chocolat chaud with breakfast… yum!
This afternoon, I travelled away from Loches where the conference was to Tours to stay with Marc (Dutch) and Jody (American) the missionary couple I did my Bible College Placement with. it was sooooo good to walk into their home [...]

A church that serves Toffipops has gotta be a great place…
I enjoyed the time and space a drive home from Dublin (and a pit stop in Belfast) afforded to think, soul-search and listen to a talk on Galatians: ‘Preach the gospel and stop nagging people to try harder…’
Actually, this past few days has also brought a [...]

So, I scived my cardio kick exercise class. I have no good excuse except the girl I usually go with has asthma and wasn’t feeling great. So I scived! BUT… my housemate and I slobbed on the sofa (after some very tasty salmon, butternut squash and cous cous - surprisingly yummy!) and watched some Gilmore [...]

Not just saying this because soapbox did and I feel I have to reciprocate… but we DID have a great team meeting this morning! Discussion, interaction, productivity all laced with a good dose of banter! I suppose its the contrast of working alone a lot of the time; just being able to share with people in [...]

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 was much more chilled out than I thought it would be.
An unexpected meeting with 2 Small Group Leaders who are so eager to lead their group well became not just a good study, but also a good chance to get to know them better. Its such a privilege to do this kind of thing [...]

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 [...]

Waking up in said house. More grand piano. Using their jumbo shower-headed shower - like showering in the rain, only hot. Except then it went cold and then it was really just like showering in the rain. Enjoyable experience nonetheless!
A leisurely morning spent with my housemate, talking about ridiculous things like car colours and perfume [...]

Breakfast in bed!
I then drove in the sunshine listening to great music. I love that. I also had a real sense of appreciation for the freedom I have to travel… very easily taken for granted or moaned about.
I’ve decided that I must make more time for reading, so I spent a couple of hours this [...]
