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 [...]

Being someone who often needs a sounding board when trying to think things out, I had the pleasure of being a sounding board this avo! This particular verbal processor is great to hear from - she’s come a long way and is excited about going even further along the ‘journey’! I’ve loved seeing her confidence [...]

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 [...]

A breakfast with someone from church who I don’t currently know very well but hope to get to know. Encouraged by her enthusiasm to chat and an unnoticed two hours passing.
I have been so productive in the last 24 hours that I’m incredibly proud of myself! I’ve tidied my room, done three loads of washing, [...]

Porridge made by someone else.
Ehh… the catering staff at the conference - just to clarify!
Having my mind blown by some incredibly insightful and informed teachers… responding in awe and worship to the God I often try to put in a tiny box.
A wee boogie un-interrupted by self-consciousness.
Not one, not two, but three very different but equally [...]

(Eh, so the students were only 25 mins late - the rest of the blame was on traffic. I stand corrected.)
Conversation, conversation, conversation. Dreaming dreams, discussing realities; theorising, categorising, somethingelse-ising. Great.
The indoors when outside is so manky.
Seeing awesome potential in an already so competent student leader… Looking forward to hearing how his life proceeds. Listening to [...]

Steak, medium-rare and a power nap in Wetherspoons!
Pottering round the shops with no pressure to hurry or buy or even look. Just hangin out with my buddy, Hops, and dreaming dreams about a holiday in June…!
Getting to the airport, I was actually knackered, feet killing, no energy… So, a chilled mango smoothie and feet up [...]

A HUUUUUGE sugh of relief on finding my brand new ‘lost’ ipod which I feared I’d left on a train.
A good first Bible Study with my fellowship group - we were much more relaxed than back in September and it was good to hear how they’d been doing in the interim.
Enjoying good chats with some [...]

Back to work today. I love that in my job I get to be eased back in with a few staff retreat days.
I loved our speaker - Hadden Wilson. Absolute LEGEND. What he said and how he said it was so… refreshing. It began to warm an all-but-frozen heart because of the truths he brought [...]

A leisurely breakfast with a Bible and a journal; thinking and scribbling about the truths I’ve found therein. Glad to hear that even the Apostle Paul cried out “What a wretched man I am! Who will save me from this body of death?” (Romans 7). Been there. Done that. Discovered the good news that someone [...]
