This Blog

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.

  • Fireworks Night

    Fireworks, a photo by phillsacre on Flickr. Via Flickr: We had a Fireworks night at Oak Hill last night. This was probably the only picture I took of the fireworks which is actually usable.

  • Autumn

    phillsacre’s photostream on Flickr. Went out for a walk this afternoon with Mrs Phil. We went alongside the Dollis Brook, something like the Dollis Valley walk but I’m not exactly sure. Anyway, it was a beautiful autumn day and I took some photos 🙂

  • Half Term

    Just a quick update to say that it’s half term this week. After lunch on Friday, Phil and I drove back to Colchester, and that’s where we’ve been ever since. (Well, sort of.) Phil’s sister Roz and her husband Matt joined us on Friday night – they were going to a wedding on Saturday nearby…

  • The Dawkins/Lane Craig non-debate

    Richard Dawkins is stirring things up again. (Surely not! – sorry, I’d better not be sarcastic). In an article on The Guardian ‘Comment is Free’ section, he explains why he isn’t going to debate William Lane Craig. In case you don’t want to read the article, what Prof. Dawkins’ comments come down to is that…

  • Protesting Supermarkets

    I’ve read a couple of articles recently which have got me thinking. The first one was about people who protest supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco etc – unfortunately I can’t remember where I found it so I can’t link to it! (May have even been… hushed tones… on paper!) The other article was called Good…

  • Website admin complete

    Just wanted to say that all the website admin stuff I mentioned in my previous post is now complete. In case you’re curious about what I’ve done, here’s a quick post with an explanation. Maybe it will help someone who was in a similar situation to me (i.e., paying for hosting you don’t need). Previously I’ve…

  • What I’m studying

    I said a while back that I’d post up a little bit about what I’m studying. It might be useful for anyone who’s considering studying at Oak Hill, or it might just be interesting if you’re wondering what an ordinand (i.e., someone studying Theological and Pastoral Studies) actually does! Here’s a rough guide to the…

  • Yellow Flowers

    Yellow Flowers, a photo by phillsacre on Flickr. Via Flickr: Some yellow flowers outside our house, next to the front door.

  • Website admin

    I’ve decided to shift my domain name over to another provider, which will be a bit cheaper. I’ve also decided that I want to move my hosting to somewhere which doesn’t cost this much – I’m currently paying £60 per year which isn’t *massive* but at the same time is probably more than I really…
