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 [...]

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 [...]

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!
The main speaker’s courtesy by not only helping me carry my stuff to my car, but also offered to change the strings on his 12 string guitar and lend it to me - a virtual stranger! What an awesome man. Not just because of the guitar, incidentally. I wonder if all [...]

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 [...]

I loved playing piano and singing with the praise ‘band’ this week - all the better for actually having a monitor and being able to hear if I’m playing the right notes!
Seeing how much one of my group members has grown in the past semester in terms of leading Bible Studies. Cool to see the [...]

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 [...]
