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 [...]
Hmm… Oh! I know! Ramore Strawboffee dessert. Yum, yum, yum. An afternoon nap and then a wee jaunt to the stones-kicked-by (!) household was a nice way to pass an evening.

Hmmm… Oh - I know! I loved this morning’s bowl of chocolat chaud with breakfast… yum!
This afternoon, I travelled away from Loches where the conference was to Tours to stay with Marc (Dutch) and Jody (American) the missionary couple I did my Bible College Placement with. it was sooooo good to walk into their home [...]

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 [...]

I really enjoyed church this morning. My church isn’t big or flashy, but its a managable wee community that I feel I can actually get to know. A no-nonsense chat with a lady I’d more or less just met about prayer and her son’s faith; some inspiring teaching from Acts; a chance to speak French [...]

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 [...]

I LOVE to teach. I think its what I’m made to do. It may not be perfect, it may not be 100% articulate or sorted or refined, but I love to share what I’m learning to help others learn.

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 [...]

Today was much more chilled out than I thought it would be.
An unexpected meeting with 2 Small Group Leaders who are so eager to lead their group well became not just a good study, but also a good chance to get to know them better. Its such a privilege to do this kind of thing [...]

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 [...]
