- time to meet your baker: http://bit.ly/meetyourbaker #
- balance paid for house, packing *almost* done (ish) – nearly ready for the move on Thursday. Got a bad back though – prayers appreciated. #
- got a poorly little boy, and a wife who is showering to clean herself up – don't think he'll be allowed to eat for the rest of the day. #
- finishing off study and preparations for preaching on Sunday (1 Samuel 16 & 2 Corinthians 5), so I can take the next three days off to move. #
- 'For our sake he made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.' Amen! – http://esv.to/2Co5.21 #
- today will be mostly spent packing, packing, packing and looking after my poorly little boy. #
- this is getting serious – I'm disconnecting my PC and dismantling the study area! #
- Moving day – such a paradox – for weeks I've been desperate for it to arrive, and now I just want it to be over! #
- van packed, flat cleaned and empty – just waiting for the money to be transferred. So the waiting begins… #
- Keys dropped off and collected. Almost in! #
- we're in and now officially part of the 'MK2 massive'! Lovin' the new house – looking forward to it being our home. #
- no landline/broadband until 8th September – forgive me if communication is slow (well, slower than usual!) #
- totally love my new walk to work (even on my day off) – 5mins door to door. Previously would've been 40 mins – if I could be bothered… #
- RT @RickWarren: Great people make others feel great. Small people make others feel small. // I needed to be reminded of that… #
- just bought 'Monopoly Deal' card game [http://amzn.to/aUkEz6] – an indispensable tool for any Youth Worker & must have for every family! #
- Camp Post Mortem tonight from 8 – review, thoughts, comments, constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement all welcome. #
- now I'm all fired up! Oh how I enjoy writing stern letters to Estate Agents – incompetent at best, immoral and underhand at worst. #
- C.S. Lewis on Evangelism: 'You have never talked to a mere mortal.' – http://bit.ly/meremortal #
- signing off – now on holiday for a week with my gorgeous little family and some of Isaac's cousins. #
- back from MK Summer Camp (www.mk-camp.com) and exhausted; reunited with Tracy & Isaac, 3 hours sleep then wide awake… #
- RT @RickWarren: To grow a mature faith u must learn to trust that God is working in other's lives even when you disagree with them. #
- after 6 months of waiting we finally exchanged contracts on our new house yesterday. Praise God! Still enjoying myself at http://www.mk-camp.com #
- currently watching 'Up', upgrading iTunes, copying files, installing software, 'clearing' emails and preparing devotions for Camp… #
- feeling really rough, and I'm not even at the Church meeting yet ;0) time for a nap! See you on the other side… #
- presentation to Church meeting went very well (thanks all!) and didn't feel too ill during, but really paying for it now. Bleurgh… #
- been feeling rough for the last 2 days – so pleased we didn't move today! #
- 'Nothing that happens changes who God is or how he responds to me. Everything that happens can change who I am and how I respond to God' #
- thanks for the prayers – having a massively productive & inspired time preparing Camp devotions this morning. Still a way to go yet and … #
- anyone else have thunderbugs trapped between the layers of their TFT monitor? I can chase them with my mouse but clicking has no effect ;o) #
- in the middle of a mammoth organising & packing session ready for Camp. Won't be finished until tonight, but it will be worth it! #
- off to Camp for two weeks, mostly offline, but you can follow the fun on the website, Facebook & Twitter – see http://www.mk-camp.com for details. #

- Long day, long meeting, gonna be a long week – and so to bed. #
- up dim and early ready for some much needed family time: chill, swim, chill, moving boxes(!) then back to work. #
- when checking the time on my phone on a garage forecourt I don't appreciate being told off – TWICE in less than a minute! #
- harrumph – that is all! #
- the cloud seems to have lifted a little this morning, but there's the rest of the day to come yet: fine line between pessimism and realism. #
- nobbly bobbly! (the day picks up for five minutes at least) #
- that was the week from hell – but, with the Lord's help, it has been beaten into submission and all is well with the world! #
- despite the previous positive update, unfortunately the Lord hasn't seen fit to sort out our house move; but trusting in His perfect timing! #
- Tracy is out with the girls today, so Daddy and Isaac get to spend the whole day together – don't know who is more excited! Bring it on! #
- looks like we could be moving house about three days before I head off to Camp – argh! Nightmare!! #
- and so 'the hunger project' begins – and I blame Nicola Quinn & Tracy Rew! #
- struggling with the paradox of the 'right thing', the 'easier thing' and the 'pastoral thing' – can there ever be a balance? #
- Day 2 of 'the hunger project: I survived day 1 at least, but am convinced that Isaac is currently eating more than me – that can't be right! #
- 'forgiveness doesn't change the past. but it does enlarge the future.' Mary Karen Read – {watch this video} http://youtu.be/iv50xrsFNdU #
- great swim with my little family this morning, coffee with Nanny, now an afternoon of house move prep (such as we can with no fixed date!) #
- day 3 of 'the hunger project': just had last meal, not been as bad as I feared , but craving an ice cold bottle of Pepsi! Always tomorrow… #
- RT @babyrew: I've just left the lounge for the first time under my own steam and followed Mummy into the Kitchen. I'm quite proud of myself. #
- successfully integrated Email, Flickr, WordPress, Facebook & Twitter for MK Camp 'live' updates – feeling like a smug geek this morning. #
- ah bureaucratic paralysis – how I love thee! #
- RT @UNTAMEDbook: "we are a product of those who have loved us and those who have failed to love us." #
- RT @BrianCHouston: A church that exists for itself; is consumed with itself, spends all its money on itself; keeps to itself -is irrelevant! #
- 30 days hath September, April, June….. D'oh! that means it's already July! #
- researching Disney/Pixar's 'Up!' online – and preparing for Up-themed devotions at Camp. #
- feeling exhausted – so off for an afternoon of planning & meeting preparation at Ikea before a whole day off!! #
- RT @babyrew: I just said my first word: GHAAAAAANAAAAAA! #
- Ghana were robbed: penalties – what a stupid way to end a competitive match – why bother, just flip a coin. <sulk> #
- off to an afternoon of Champagne, Strawberries & Tennis (in that order!) in aid of HopeHIV – then a Summer Camp Pool Party to follow. #
- “God always shows up in the most God-forsaken places.” – Alan Roxburgh #
- upgrading my iPod Touch to iOS4 – with some trepidation… #
- iOS4 update successful and looking good – just trying to fathom the multi-tasking… #
- it's only 11 o'clock and I'm already about three hours behind! How did that happen? #
- RT @babyrew: For a while now I've been able to roll to the side, turn around & move backwards. I've now successfully achieved forward motion #
- in London today for a seminar with Richard Passmore at LICC, and the launch of StreetSpace. Then a quick coffee/catch-up with a friend. #
- excellent seminar exploring mission among young people. Now 2hrs of theological reflection and sermon prep. Not watching the footie. #
- thoroughly enjoyed the tube in rush hour on a hot day; now sweating on the train waiting for the return to Bletchley and straight to Amicus. #
- you can't beat the unmistakable aroma of cabbage lingering long after the lunch club have packed up and left… #
- sermon prep + heat + headache = progress / (stress + frustration) #
- will be mostly enjoying a day off today – before the final bits of service prep tonight. #
- ==========<() zzzzzzzzzz (in honour of a fantastic achievement by Ghana!) #
- have no idea why everyone is suprised by the England Team's poor performance – why did anyone expect anything different? #
