Mike's musings

A year of blogging

I've been blogging for a year today. And there's at least one entry per day. I've backposted from time to time, but I believe that every day's covered. I started doing it as a journal for my theological training, a discipline and a way of recording what's going on with my life in pretty much all aspects. It's been useful in all sorts of ways, and it's good to know that a number of friends read it regularly.

One thing I forgot yesterday was that I discovered that I'd won a cake at the church fete a few weeks ago. Dorothy had kindly frozen it for me, and I picked it up yesterday. I would have felt a little more blessed by my win if I actually liked fruit cake, but I suppose that I've been handed an opportunity to show Christian humility and grace by sharing it with other people, but I'm not sure that I've necessarily done this with as much of that humility and grace as I might have done. To be fair, there would have been even less of the humility and grace if it had been a chocolate cake, so fair enough: God made it better for me than She might have done.

Busy afternoon at work: I suspect that this is the way it's going to be, given that Toronto only comes online, as 'twere, at 1400 our time (they're 5 hours behind). Still, it's all going well and is very interesting.

Jo's got a bit of a temperature, and we'd hoped that this would mean that she'd go down quicker tonight. 50+ minutes.
