Buzzing.
Just spent the night speaking to teens about Daniel. Great bunch, great dynamics, great drama, great God. Loved it, loved it, loved it! I got the chance to sing a couple of my songs and hear them beg for my myspace details (they’re only young - they don’t know any better, bless em!). They totally [...]

The French IFES’ movement (and my excuse to come to France) started this afternoon and I was launched into French conversation and singing French praise which was cool.
However, the best conversation of the day started in French and ended up in English…
I did a Bible College placement in Tours in 2005 and met Raphael and [...]

Flip, can’t believe it - I started this gig 6 months ago. Can that be right?! OKay I’ve another half post to go to be half of 365, and technically because of the leap year, tomorrow will actually be the half way mark, but… yeah.
I’ve been glad for the outlet that this little ritual provides. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Discovering that the family who run the coffee shop that has become my office are Christians and are delighted that we’re using it to study the Bible in. The guy’s courage to ask what passage we were studying and his curiosity about the CU - encouraging!
The return to “legenDerry” - seeing the potential of a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

(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 [...]
