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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Driving down the road, seeing a great big man amble across the road just to stroke a little ginger kitty. Very poetic.
This is another one of those weird ones where something seemingly not great becomes my great thing…
I was at a funeral today. Of course it was heart-breaking, but yet… The singing of songs like’The [...]

Got the opportunity to share from the Bible tonight. It didn’t go as well as I had hoped, but I still really enjoy pointing people toward Jesus. Plus, feeling regret at some of the stuff I’d missed or complicated or whatever meant that when a few people thanked me for what I’d said, I knew [...]

At the end of a long day, I can safely say that my highlight and the beautiful thread running through my day was friendship pure and simple.
I love Jesus and His grace.
