February's Here!

The time does seem to be going very quickly. The last fortnight of January seemed to pass in a blur, so much was happening, so my blogging was well reduced. Last week the NIMA Preaching Conference had us thinking hard about how to preach a passage from 2 Peter in context, as well as feeding us richly from Romans. Then I was just back, and the bag had to be cleared out and repacked for a weekend in Dundee.

Our niece was being baptised over in Scotland, as her dad (my brother-in-law) works for St Peter's Free Church in Dundee, the Church that was pastored by Robert Murray M'Cheyne. A nice weekend with the family over there, spoiled only slightly by a hire car company which seems to be a cowboy outfit.

While in Scotland, we also were able to catch up with Lynsey's former flatmate and her husband, and just relax!

But now we're back to 'porridge' for another while, with me back into the realm of preaching most Sundays and all the other stuff that happens in a busy parish. On top of that, we'll have to sort through the photos, upload and email them to family members, as well as wading through the 300 plus items in my Google Reader subscriptions and the emails that were left for my return. For now, here's a photo of the Baptism party:
