Stretching myself

I've done it again, I've signed up again with NaNoWriMo in an effort to kickstart my writing by trying to put together a novel in a month, now how that fits with everything else is a bit of a mystery to me at the moment, but it might happen!

Alongside that, as November is obviously going to be some kind of miraculous time-stretching kind of month I've also committed to post daily in November. NaBloPoMo is the name of this new experiment I've been daft enough to sign up to...click on the button on the right hand side to see what that's about...

And in December I plan to have a nice lie down, though something tells me it might not be the quietest month to try that....

Oh, having messed up the Cindra competition I have submitted another entry - though I'm not going to say which one this time! They're all here, read through and vote for one, go on, you know you want to...

And now for one last set of full stops...

Last year I did NaBloPoMo. I didn't miss a single post. Nobody even thanked me for playing. This year I am contemplating NaNoWriMo, but not for them, for me. I really should get back into my writing.

Wow, Alastair...sounds like a busy month! I will be sure to check in often, to keep up on the subject theme you've chosen...a month of writing on something will surely aid you in understanding it.

I am doing the NaBloPoMo, I am going to try to find you and add you to my friend list. Good luck. Do you have a plan or are you going to wing it? I have a plan to blog about all of our travels and get those things all written about and organized. At least I wont run out of things to say. Good luck.

Sounds like November will be a busy month Alastair. Good luck with your novel! I'm also in the process of writing a book. I'll have a look at the site you mentioned.

Trying to connect the dots, unnecessarily

Another sermon - as seems to be the way of this blog at present! Life is busy and complicated, and good, and bad, and exciting, and challenging, and (in short) not conducive to getting Blog posts written! So, here's my thought for today taken from these passages (Click for details): Exodus 16:1–5, 9–15,  Psalm 78;18–29 Mt 13.1–9 Grace and Meaning In the words of St Paul, or perhaps St John, or maybe St George, or even St Ringo “When I was younger, so much younger than today.” Ah, sorry, couldn’t resist!  No, it’s not a tubby boy story – but just a general reflection that today’s story from the book of Exodus used to cause me great consternation.  Or at least was one of those parts of Scripture that didn’t seem to fit… I knew the story, the mythological story I am now convinced, of the temptations in the wilderness when Jesus proclaims, quoting Deuteronomy 6 ‘you shall not put the Lord your God to the test’. As I moved into the Anglican Church and ...

A Sermon which upset someone

So, I'm not a theological conservative.  That probably comes across in pretty much everything I write, but I thought I should say it.  I believe myself to be orthodox, however, and hold to those things which the Church expresses in the catholic creeds.  I also have a relatively 'high' theology regarding the inspiration of Scripture. But I am not a Biblical literalist, nor do I hold to a doctrine of the infallibility of Scripture. I can't.  The Bible is too rich, too deep, too difficult, too flawed for that.  And by flawed I mean I understand it to be the record of human beings trying to make sense of God at work.  It has the breath of the Spirit blowing through it's words and on every page, but when we try and make sense of God there is a chance we will go awry.... 'Hey lets condemn (and or murder) pretty much everyone who isn't in our tribe, that's obviously what God wants' kind of awry.  And if we study this book carefully then we see that ideas ...
