Things I'm Thinking About

Its Friday morning: my day off.
Its also a day off after quite a strange week. I have spent quite a bit of time in reflective study: looking at what I have done over the last 22 months. And so coming to this morning doesn't quite have that sense of downtime that it often does. However, being more rested and finally coming up from under the ear infection means I have lots swimming round my head.

Heres just a sample:

Leadership styles- my continuing wrestling with the pressure to be nice to people, when actually I want them to encounter Jesus.

Boundaries- linked to styles but a real ongoing thought challenge.

Tools of discipleship...

Possible Masters dissertation subjects

Whether Amazon debit Prime trial from your account just in case or whether I have Olympic tickets on their way.

What time it is acceptable to call one's parents..

When I will be well enough to exercise..

What the other book I ordered from Amazon was..

Whether the arrival of the package woke my housemate up..

That I should do the washing up.


Just thought I'd share!

It worked as a recruiting effort- young men, boys, and women all joined the war effort. They joined as an act of patriotism, tinged yes with fear, but also a sense that it might be the right thing to do. They joined from across the country- but at the heart of the front line forces were thousands and ten of thousands...

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.
