Wrote this in 2006I have just sat through an episode of Deep Space nine, one of the ones with Warf in it, which was kind of weird, because we're used to seeing him on the other series, but anyway!Series 5 episode 7.A group of them go on holiday to a planet called Risa.I just sat through someone (who actually turned out to be a kind of bad guy, meant well, but went wrong, but anyway) sit and tell them that because the whole point of this planet was pleasure and enjoying yourself and having a good...

So, in the last post I shared some things about yearly themes. About what they are, how I receive mine, how some previous years had gone with their theme and so on. Go read it if you have any questions. Here is the list I wrote back in November 2009 about the theme I felt I had for 2010.In that previous post I shared that despite declaring I was not yet ready to even think about a theme for 2010, I did indeed know what it was. SIMPLIFY, or to put it another way SIMPLIFICATION.So what does that...

I first came across the idea of themes for the year a few years ago through reading the blogs of friends. Basically the idea is to seek God for an underlying theme for the coming year and then watch how He works that out in your life. Also considering your actions and lifestyle in light of that theme.I started doing this myself a few years ago and have noticed more and more people commenting on their themes for the year.Some years this has been a process of taking time out, sitting with God,...

This is another piece that came initially as a picture. We were in worship one Sunday, and I could vividly see the beginning of the following scene play out before me in my head. As I began to write down what I saw, the rest of this came flowing out.What I did NOT know at that point was that a friend of mine was going to stand up at the front during the announcements section of the meeting...

Every time I go to a craft store I look at the tubes and bottles of acrylic paint. Especially now I have found a store tht stocks the smaller bottles of craft paint for just 99p, I'd like to get some more colours. The problem is that stood there, in front of this wonderful rack of delights I can NEVER remember what colours I already have. I have been meaning to make this little...

I had been looking at my craft desk and the fact that I wanted to buy some more paints but had absolutely no more space to store them.I had thought about getting some shelves to mount on the wall that were quite shallow front to back and just wide enough to fit the space I had, but couldn't find anything. Ignore the cd rack on the right, I should have moved that before I took the photo. I wanted...

What was the best book you read? I don't do a lot of reading. Certainly didn't do much of it at all at home this year, even though there were books that caught my attention and I wanted to read through, somehow it never happened. However, when I was in America I did a LOT of reading. Reading, reading, reading, reading, reading. The two favourites from that time that come...

What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?Oh let's see, fly to America, ALL BY MYSELF, get stuck ALL BY MYSELF in snow snow and more snow, first at Newark then in Cleveland and finally a night at a friend's house.

You may have noticed that I have been reposting some older pieces of writing. This is one I wrote back in 2004, sat in the rest area at a local museum, while my boys ran around and had fun. What is a parent to do when their older children want to come to the hands on science museum for the umpteenth time and really don’t need that parent to go around with them? Why, write of course.They are busy running around like mad things and I get to sit here by the vending machines, all by myself,...
