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 [...]

(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 [...]

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 [...]

I met up with a student today who I’ve only had coffee with once before. He’s kind of quiet in big groups but is so good to chat to one to one. It was just one of those conversations that was just really nice - we were chatting about music and family and spiritual growth [...]

I was feeling a little apprehensive about [...]

So, in my church they have a coffee break in the middle of the service. Great idea. Not so great idea is throwing your own coffee over two thirds of your lovely bright pink top and trousers. Sorry - just the top was bright pink. Not the trousers. That would be ridiculous. Now, obviously that’s [...]

This is definately getting hard for me.
My housemate made a big roast dinner for herself but offered me some of the leftovers!! Ha ha ha that sounds so scabby, but she’d made too much and shared it with me - not like, what was left on her plate or anything! But it was really good. [...]

A wee day off where I played the model citizen: getting up to give my housemate a lift to work because her car was dodgy, then driving out of Portstewart, I stopped at a bus stop to give a very grateful old lady a lift to do her shopping in Coleraine. Now, I know I [...]

I had a good old moan today. Not really sure it qualifies as something beautiful or cool about my day, but it was needed and I felt better for it!
I’ve also just spent the evening with my two lovely housemates eating, asda shopping and being silly. Banter-ific. I love the silliness!
