It’s Monday and that means episode 3 of the Official Hoyland & Co podcast. The podcast is a chance for me to give you all a bit of an insight into the working day of a self employed web worker type person.
It’s a short one this week… and it goes out to [...]

Slightly late this week. Sorry. I don’t have much to say though. Mainly because I’m reading Leviticus.
I have to say it’s going to be a struggle keeping up with this one. So much of me wants to say it’s great to read all the detail about how the Levites should work [...]

Ok – it’s been a little over a week but here’s another ethical debate… and as mum requested I’ve made this one more likely to impact upon our lives [sic]
The sheriff in a southern town is guarding the courthouse against a mob that is about to storm it by force, in order to capture a [...]

It is seen many times in Moviedom.
Sequels so often fail to live up to the expectation, to build on the success of the initial blockbuster. I guess this is partly because we all imagine what will happen next and, no matter how big the budget, a film can not reach beyond the dreams of [...]

We had a great service at St John’s today and I just wanted to share some of the stuff I was meant to share during the service but I didn’t really manage too well.
We ate together. It wasn’t a meal after the service. It was the service. Inspired by Deuteronomy 14 [...]

Hello all.
This week has been more Exodus. A great story and some good sections of reading. The part I want to mention today is Exodus 16. It’s the whole manna from heaven thing. A really simple post this time. When the Israelites collected food some gathered much, some little, but [...]

Sharing things

I’ve been thinking a bit more about the whole living simply again.
Another pretty obvious one that kind of ties in to the first key to living the simple life today but I thought I would share it anyway.
This one is “be willing to share anything you own”. Get into the habit of [...]

Morning all.
I only posted yesterday – if you’ve not read it yet go back and have a look as it’s a good one and you should go and read Jon’s post too but I had to post again as there is some exciting news.
The first thing is that my dad was on Radio York yesterday! [...]

Right.
Firstly I should point out I stole this title from another blog. It’s written by a guy named Jon Cooper. Or Jon for short. I was actually going to cut and paste his whole post and claim it as my own but I decided to do the right thing and just point [...]

It only feels like a few days since I last posted about my bible reading exploits but here I am again…
This week I have mostly been finishing Genesis and starting Exodus. And by mostly I mean only. Where were we last week? Had we had Joseph and His Coat With Long [...]
