Ten days of being on a bus by 8:30 am, 22 hours of travelling thanks to a flight cancellation and being herded about everywhere in a group of 47 have left us quite exhausted. Just the way to start a new term, right? But the holidays have never felt so long. Nor so educational! Jerusalem, … Continue reading »
Redesigning the look and feel of The Art of Steering was fun today! Long overdue, it has been something I wanted to try for ages. I’m pretty pleased with the result (it’s all still free software!) but it’d be great to hear what you think too… Well, August is nearly done and I’m about to throw … Continue reading »
I’ve had an e-mail from Christians Against Poverty this morning saying that they are launching in Canada! This is probably my favourite of all the charities we support! So, if you are currently based in Canada or if you know someone who is, could I ask you to think how you or your church might … Continue reading »
I find it helpful to take time out over the summer to review my year so far in the light of the recalibration I always try to make space for during each New Year period. Perhaps this half-year review is the throwback to days when my years ran from September to August; perhaps it is … Continue reading »
I got a bit excited when this journal came through the post at the weekend. It seems that my Masters essays can be recycled to good effect! Shame about the random capital in presbuteroi though; it wasn’t there on the draft I proofed. I was also a bit overwhelmed, on a rereading of the proofs, … Continue reading »

Someone came through to my blog site this last week by googling ‘drivenness’. Somewhat surprised that my site figures on such a search, I googled the same term to see how many pages down the google search you’d have to go before you found me. Do you think I should be concerned that The Art … Continue reading »
I had been meaning to blog for a while about my experiment in learning Colossians. I just never got round to it really. I suppose it’s because the last few weeks have been fairly intense as I’ve engaged in the Other Experiment. The one where I try to start believing God’s Word about my drivenness. … Continue reading »
I love how God’s timing works sometimes… Preaching at college recently turned out to be a great chance to practise speaking to congregations other than my local church, something I am going to be doing more of as a result of a new opportunity which has come my way. I have agreed to be part … Continue reading »
You may have wondered why the post on Friday about that book which I really didn’t like! Well, I have just found a way to get free books. In fact, I spent about an hour last weekend scouring the internet for publishers who would happily send books to me in return for a review. After … Continue reading »
