a fresh view

today was exciting with two trips into the outdoors and some real food
i went and saw the boys at UB's
ordered a pot of soy chai
it is stil a little hard to believe that I have gone over a week without coffee
just wondering how long that will keep up
you know you are a regular at a coffee shop when the barista offers to lend you money from the till

I'm hoping my attention span returns soon
I am thinking about the talk I am meant to be giving at a women's event next week
I hope my voice returns from gravel
the talk topic is Contentment
so at least the talk will make use of my project

one of the outings was to see a speech therapist
she gave me some exercises
there was a little concern
I am hoping to get in to see the a specialist without too much of a wait

my mind is that of a goldfish

greek messages

So I just phoned Caro to explain some of my greek exegetical notes to her - but she wasn't there. I found myself leaving a message on her answering machine which rambled on about gender and participles. After I hung up I found myself having a little giggle at the content of the message and wondering what on earth someone would think if they listened to it.

Exegetical due Monday - zero words completed
Sermon for Tuesday (now worth 25%) - yet to grasp the focus (topic is faithfulness as a fruit of the Spirit - Gal 5:22)
Chapter 1 due Wednesday - 300/3000 words
Book Review due Easter - zero words (still yet to read the book)

if only i could sit all my assessments and exams by oral examination.....

an intermittent diet

I am out of routine, my thoughts have been scrambled, pushed and prodded which has resulted in the intermittent diet of posting on this page recently.

I'm loving Christology.
And, shock horror: a love of Church History is well on the way of being formed!


This past week has seen me form and scrap many successive ideas for the topical sermon on faithfulness I am preaching in Chick's Chapel next week. It has at times been frustrating and elusive. But after much hair pulling I think I know how to start and where to take it.
