This friday is my Hebrew exam. I don’t think I’m going to dominate it, (and sadly knowing your Old Testament well doesn’t help you like knowing your New Testament helps in Greek!) but I’ve been working hard on vocabulary and memorising the verb table. With those two weapons in hand I’m going to tackle the [...]

Have you done your Cheeky Check-up?

Lately I’ve been reading a blog called Smiles and Trials, written by an American christian women who has eleven children – many of them adopted from the Ukraine and Russia. The amount of love she has to give is inspiring.
I’ve been thinking a lot about adoption lately. Sam and I would like to adopt if we aren’t able to have [...]

Nick, a mate of mine from college has a blog for foodies called ‘Eat the plate’. Lots of recipes, food tips and general eating related stuff. Go on over and check out what he has to say.

I thought I’d give an update on how Sam’s media bank is going.
So far, so good. Like a bower bird, I’ve collected quite a few items and stored them away. Sam even used two of them in his Revelation sermons. The first was a spread from Cosmopolitan illustrating the worship of fashion. The second was an article about nightclubs in [...]

The audio from my Revelation 1 sermon is now available. You can download it here. Hopefully weeks two and three will be available soon.
