The Ponderings of a Meandering Minister…
Ross I’m finding it hard to believe, but I’ve actually handed in all three assignments for this term! The third arrived at the Theology Office at approximately two minutes to four (four o’clock being the deadline) but they’re all away and all is good! Just thought I’d tell the world because I’m happy. And tomorrow I’m … Read moreAssignments Done!
I was reading a friend-of-a-friend’s blog the other day. The person was thinking stuff along the lines of, “Why are we told that we are nothing without God? Why are people who don’t have God – nothing? Even when they do amazing things? … ‘The difference is that the Christian people have God. But I … Read moreSpot the Difference
Went to see Harry Potter IV… It must have been hard working out how to put such a big book into a few hours, but the bits they missed out were pretty much anything that relieved a tense situation. To be honest, it kind of felt like I was watching The Empire Strikes Back – … Read moreGoblet of Fire

It’s the tenth AS, and for the first nine the band that has become Soul Purpose led worship. Last year … Read moreI love Autumn Soul

I did Latin GCSE and this is taught in a similar way. All seemed well. Until I realised I was back to learning Vocab!!! Thankfully, as you can see … Read moreAargh! Greek!
This is just one of a number of pretty sunsets we saw when on holiday in France in September. Another great photo from Ross & Kathryn!
Thought I’d put up a wee picture of Edgehill, where I’ll be based for the next three years. There’s a link to the College website on the right. [Edit 2019: “Oh no there isn’t”] ‘Tis a pretty place to be!
