The Welshman with a Odd Accent in Oakwood

dear blog

how are you today? maybe i've just gone nuts, am i talking to my computer? You know they say the first sign of madness is talking to yourself the second sign is answering yourself back and it's time to give up when you have a good conversation with yourself!!

Today has been a pretty great day, the whole day was on the Doctrine of Prayer and the application of prayer which was really convicting that my prayer life it pretty pants at the moment, i think i need to sort it out!

Anyway i'm off to bed, before i convince myself i'm mad or not.

Dear blog

I find Sundays challenging, odd you may think as Sunday is the main day in the Church week, but no being a Christian and always being salt & light in the Church when you work for the church if find challenging.

It’s been a long day, from 9am until 8:30pm with little break, I worked some on my Exodus talk for next week at SCF, it’s a privilege to speak there but am getting more nervous, that much of what I’ve written may be seen as patronizing or even over peoples heads. I also am still struggling with Romans.

Anyway my dear blog, I feel the need to relax and rest before tomorrow,

My dear blog

Today has been a typical Saturday, I find it very difficult to motivate my self on Saturdays, years have told my body that Saturday is a day off and now working Saturdays becomes a struggle, both physically and in my humility.

I started work on Romans 2:12-3:20 again and got a structure written by mid day and a rough draft written by late evening, annoyingly it took a long time and I’m not sure it is correct as it stands.

Anyway I must relax some and tomorrow hopefully I will be able to look at Exodus again and write a prayer letter.

For now dearest blog.

I didn't get around to writing to you yesterday. I got caught up in trying to get other things finished which I didn’t get any of done; my Fridays are a bit like nitro glycerine, they are find most of the time but don’t take much to throw them off then all goes to pot. Yesterday things very nearly went to pot, I was challenged in my humility when looking at Romans, my patience was challenged in my contact and I was challenged all in all to continue growing in holiness.

Ah, my day off, if any day I’m likely to struggle and be ungracious then it’s a Thursday, feeling very much the time is my own and shouldn’t be interrupted. After shopping I came home to find my flatmate watching TV, my first reaction was to go a bit nuts and make a few comments, I made a comment, felt immediately bad but then realized it’s exactly what I do anyway and felt massively convicted!

I must really struggle on to smile and to be gracious.
