(Un)common Sense
This was sent through to me by Phil ‘Toggers’ Togwell, 24-7 Prayers UK Base Leader. Oh how I wish for more people with this perspective in the body of Christ! Its a long read, but its worth it…
Emergent Reactions
Polska
Shirley and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Poland. Until we started planning the trip, I hadn’t appreciated exactly how huge Poland really is. Its almost the size of Germany!
I always think that the best way to see a country is with a local, and Shirley’s friend Casia looked after us even better than we could have hoped. Had we not been staying with her, we might never have discovered the likes of Pierogi, a wonderful dumpling like creation that I’d certainly never heard of before. Yum!

A good way and a bad way
OK, so this afternoon showed me how you can start off a holiday in a good way and a bad way. Thankfully I was on the good side of the equation, whilst a South African guy on my flight definitely was on the wrong one…
Networking
Just had a great time at the latest 24-7 UK network day in Brum (Birmingham to foreign readers!). Phil Togwell had done his usual fantastic job of gathering people from all over the UK, and around 60 of us had a great time catcihng up and sharing about what God is doing all over our nations through 24-7. Andy Freeman shared about being a witness and 24-7 Communities, with some difficult messages about the costliness of testifying to our faith, and I had a great time catching up With Lyndall Bywater from the Salvation Army, talking about how we run 24-7 both now and in the future. For those that don’t know Lyndall, she has an amazing insight for all things organisational, and she really helped me think through some of the challenges that we have in organising ourselves in 24-7 – or trying to at least!
All in all a great day, happy memories and really useful too!
For Ian’s sake…
OK Ian, here you go…
Easyish way up Great Gable, but pretty steep on the way down and back up Kirk Fell!
Just a quickie…
By rights this should be a much longer post, but its past my bed time. Need that beauty sleep and all 😉
Just had a great weekend in the Lake District with Shirley, Amo and Karen. Its two days on, but my legs still hurt! Am I really that unfit? Or that old and knackered? In my defense, I did ascend and descend this:
Case closed. Or am I about to release a deluge of comments?
Down…
…for a short while. Just moving the website to a UK server, still with the excellent www.totalchoicehosting.com…
Traveller?
There was me thinking I was quite the traveller, but that’s a pathetic coverage of red really…
