Reading. I love it. I was sitting down the other day in one of those neat straw made deals in a conservatory in Salford and for the best part of an hour or so I was just chilling and reading the Michael Foot biography. Kenneth O. Morgan (I wonder if he get upset if we […]
Read More Playing Out Of Position – Part TwoPart two of Playing Out Of Position will be published tomorrow. In the meantime I just wanted to share this from something I read today. This article made me laugh. A legitimate report on the BBC with the National Secular Society are complaining that staff in faith schools have to support the faith of the […]
Read More Having A LaughI don’t usually write about football on this blog. I know I did earlier on in the days of this blog, but since the other blog’s come along I’ve tended to share my comments about the sport to that site. Bear with me over this two-parter, if you’re not that way inclined, there is method […]
Read More Playing Out Of Position – Part OneBeing a follower of Christ is not an automatic daily trek. There are elements of discipline to it and there are routines that help to build healthy habits once they are firmly embedded in life.

Morgan. I have been reading it I believe for over a week now and it is proving to be a […]
Read More Until Your Love Broke Through(You may be asking the good question – oi Chris, where’s the teacher training class blog entry for today, didn’t you go to teacher training today? The answer to that is no, I did not go to teacher training today. This afternoon I was in Leicester for the YMCA Regional Thanksgiving Celebration which finished after […]
Read More Take Your TimeYou’re aware that I’ve talked before about confessional community (there was this one, then that one before the other one). It is something that I desperately desire and there have been experiences where I’ve caught a glimpse of what that life might look like. This evening I had the chance to talk with a dear […]
Read More Confessional Community – In The Bigger PictureYou know I’ve been mentioning assignments of late, well tonight is a very interesting one as I have to complete another one.
