  • tick tick tick

    No, the blog title doesn’t refer to how my teachers used to mark my work at school. Today is a significant landmark in our family. It is the final formal moment in our son’s Secondary education. Other than collecting his A Level results next month he won’t be going back. Today is Speech Day, and…

  • Tomorrow comes a day early

    It’s highly unlikely that I will have much time to blog tomorrow, so I am offering some bloggerel today so that you can read something tomorrow if you visit the site and want some bloggage. Of course by then I will have written this yesterday. And it will be today. Unless of course you are…

  • switching off

    Technically today is a day off. But that does not stop me trying to be a good free sample of Jesus, nor does it stop me caring about the people I am pastoring. It’s difficult to switch off. Today I have watched Dr Who from last Saturday. OOOH, that was good! I tried watching some…

It was delivered by Steve Chalke and gave us lots to think about. At the end of the day there was a panel…

  • going, going…

    Happy New Week! Work has begun today on removing the pulpit from our church and reconstructing the platform so it is solid and we won’t fall through it. This is part of a project that we believe will make it easier for people to see what is going on at the front of the church,…

  • Bob is contagious

    My car is called ‘Shrek’. That is because when you look at its shadow when the sun is behind you the sticky-out wing mirrors and bulky body shell make it look like the animated character Shrek’s head. The observant among you will have noticed that while the car in the picture bears a strong resemblance to…

  • Behind the blog

    I have had many people comment to me about this blog. Not this blog entry, obviously, because it has not been seen by anyone yet and is in the process of being created. The comments are about my blogsite. What intrigues me is that most of them are along the lines of: “I’m amazed you…
