Three words for 2012

Last year, I wrote three words to set the course for the year. And promptly forgot about them.


Alive | Growth | Proactive


This year, I wasn't really thinking about three words as I was struggling to have the mental space or energy to think about it. Then a funny thing happened.


I was thinking about a focus for writing about this year - after last year's eight-thirty project, and the themes of faith, hope and love were really sticking with me. I mentioned this yesterday. 


So those three words are going to be my three words for 2012.


To grow in each area. To live in the light of them. To get closer to God in the midst of it all. I even drew a picture.

As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthans 13:13:


"so these three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love."


or as Eugene Peterson translated it:


"But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love." Read the whole passage for the context ;->.

Where has he gone?

Wow, this blog is looking neglected.

Mainly because my attention has been focussed on creating the 8:30 blipfoto log everyday. So I am writing, but just over there.

I have got a few longer-form thoughts on the way though. Just need to make time to get them out.

Do you miss me?!

I done wrote a blog

My good friend Mr Clive Parnell (@Parney on twitter and formerly known as Cliff Parcel, but that's another story) asked me to write a wee post for his blog. It's on create here.

What do you think - am I a blubbering idiot?

Temporary Interruption

...normal service is on it's way.

I've not written as much this past 8 days as I'd hoped. Sorry about that. I don't like to let me reader down.

There's loads of ideas rolling around, just not got them into any kind of shape yet. It's coming though. Normal Service.

but what is *normal* anyway.
