At the end of our Reader’s Days we have a few moments to kind of reflect on what we’ve done during the day and slow our thoughts and all that kind of stuff. A guy called Mick led our session this week and he used this great blessing by another guy called John O’Donnahue. I [...]

Evening all. A few things today. Firstly – Bible reading is going well. Spoke to a friend of mine about Old Testament stuff and he mentioned the fact that the reason to read a lot of the Old Testament is actually so you know what bits of the Old Testament really don’t matter all that [...]

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 and how and [...]

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 where the Israelites [...]

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.

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 lending [...]

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 you all [...]

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 Sleeves (it wouldn’t [...]

I made the mistake of turning on my laptop when I got back from swimming this evening. That was almost an hour ago. But in the process I have fixed a few things around here so the category pages should all work and the links to comments in the sidebar now link to the comments [...]

Today is Day 14 of the Bible in a Year (you can tell because it’s the 14th – this is pretty easy in January!) so it’s ‘break time’ and therefore accountability time too. I’m up to date at the moment. I fell behind by a chapter at one point but caught up on the toilet. [...]
