I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

TYSIC Update
Just to update on my TYSIC challenge (can’t be bothered to link back here)… I’ve been continuing on with it for the past week or so. I’ve now started to post updates on the actual site so you can find me there. I probably won’t update much about it here from now on 😉

What a Relief…
Well, the Moore Course is all over for another year few months (they usually run from October / November until March / April). I have to say I’m glad to see the back of it this year – not that I haven’t enjoyed the course, but working all day and then coming back home to…

Getting fed up with Ephesians…
… when I say that, I don’t mean that I have any problem with the content of Ephesians. It’s just getting to the stage where I want the exam to be over already! Maybe then I could get my evenings back. Still. We haven’t been up to much over the past few days – the…

TYSIC Update
Just a very quick update on TYSIC. I’ve been doing well the past couple of days, I’ve spent some time practicing slowly. I’m still finding it difficult to force myself to actually practice things at a slow speed and ensure they’re perfect, but I think I’m doing better than I was. I started learning the…

Fun evening
Another quick update about the weekend. On Friday night we helped out at 21, which was mostly preparing for the youth service on Sunday night. Then on Saturday we did some shopping in the morning, followed by some Moore Course revision in the afternoon (the exam is on 27th, so just under two weeks left…

Ten Year Self Improvement Challenge
On his blog, Mark Watson recently started up an idea called the Ten Year Self Improvement Challenge (TYSIC for short). Readers of his blog were asked to submit things which they wanted to accomplish over the next ten years, and it would form some sort of community of people working on it together. I didn’t…

Slightly tired now…
Well, not really, but I was on Saturday. For most of the day. The reason was, on Friday night we had the 21 overnighter. Now, I’d love to tell you why it was an overnighter, but the truth is I’m not really sure… we basically spent an hour or so playing games / praying for…

No More Moore. Almost.
Well, Wednesday night was the last meeting of this year’s Moore Course module. We’ve been studying Ephesians, as I’ve mentioned before. (Well, I think I’ve mentioned it… can’t be bothered to go back and check now!) I don’t know why but I feel like it’s not been quite as good as previous Moore Course modules…

The Great Essex Feast, and other things
So, quick update as to what was going on this weekend. On Friday night we helped out at 21 (back after half-term), and then went to the pub with most of the 21 crew (AJ, Laura, Jen and her sister, and James and Tash). It’s nice to have so many friends from church at the…

Post-Feminism
A while back I wrote a blog post ‘about’ feminism. Well, sort of, more about the lad’s mag culture and what have you. Anyway, I’ve just read a very interesting article which deals with a similar theme. The general idea is that our culture seems to believe that feminism has done its work – women…
