So, blog 1.
I'm still not entirely sure how this will work, what I'll write about and not write about, who might be reading etc. I suppose we'll figure that out as we go along.
Today, guilt and my bible.
Mostly that's what I get from my bible, guilt that I'm not reading it. My motivation for finding time for it waxes and wanes, but I know I should read it, and generally it's worth doing. No surprise there, It's been a pretty popular book for thousands of years so it must have some validity.
Anyway, today the knowledge that I was about to blog spurred me on. I hope living my faith out here in the blogosphere will keep me accountable and make me do the things I know I should.
So, before I indulged myself with toast and lemon curd and a cup of Earl Grey with a good chunk of Sci-Fi I found time to crack open Romans (we've got a sermon series coming up at church so it seemed as good a place as any). One of the verses jumped out at me: "I am not ashamed of the gospel." I thought "yeah, that''s me" but realised perhaps I am a little. In day to day life my faith doesn't get the press it ought to when I talk to my friends and colleagues who don't believe. Maybe this is a step in the right direction, maybe not, but it seemed serendipitous that that particular verse popped out today.
Anyway, enough blogging, my lovely wife wants me back, all to herself.
