Ephesians revisited

I realise in retrospect (isn't that always the way with me?) that my post about Ephesians may have come across a bit like me sticking out my chest to say "Wow! Look at me!" May I humbly apologise and assure you that is not the case. Rather, I am quite likely to fail. And so, just like when I run, I thought if someone could run alongside me to spur me on, I might go a little further than I would on my own. To answer the question of how I'm going about it: I have the first 14 verses above my sink and I say them outloud when I am doing dishes and then I say them again and again any time I think of it. I've got 10 verses down and am almost there with the next two. So yes, one bite (or verse or diaper) at a time.

'Tis a gift to be simple

My husband may not be able to do this, but he can definitely think outside the box. When our kitchen tap broke last weekend, I went to the local DIY store and picked up a handle conversion kit and a new tap just in case the kit didn't work. But as I stressed about teaching myself a bit of plumbing he got out the superglue and fixed it right up, saving us a fantastic £75.00. Well done, babe!

Come on!

Not as in, "You're kidding!", but as in, "Let's see some more!"

Check out Simon's blog. Since I know him personally, and I trust him implicitly, and I know how tough the teenagers in Bedford town centre are, I find this incredibly exciting!!!!!

Anyone game?

In my pursuit of God's peace, I've decided to memorize Ephesians by the end of the year. I've conquered the first 8 verses. Anyone care to pace me?
