Hey, this is Kirsty not Jon! I’ve decided to post on my wonderful husband’s blog as mine is so infrequently updated I fear all who may have read it have since lost hope a long time ago.
So we’re in Luxor and sitting in a Wi-Fi enabled McDonalds (which speaks volumes about the standard of Egyptian [...]
So I’ve taken up the challenge from Andy at Issues For The Christian Youthworker to think about the young people that have impacted me and my work.
There are quite a few who I could name for a number of reasons, so I’ll try and be concise.
Rosie, Anna and Emily have all taught me a lot [...]
I have to be honest; I just don’t get dancing in church!
That may be a strong statement to start off a blog post, so let me elaborate a little here. I do understand the medium of dance as a creative expression, and I appreciate it in things such as ballets or stage performances. I understand [...]
I made a new friend and found a new personal hero last week in a man called Jason. I met him because a friend had suggested that I give him a call: “He just needs some advice on raising teenagers” she said!
Although I have no children of my own yet, I arranged to meet up [...]
So a while back I bought these expensive noise cancelling earphones with the different buds on the end which you use to fit your ear perfectly. I was listening to my iPod on the train up to London this morning when my phone rang. As I pulled the ‘phones out of my ears to answer [...]

Kirsty and I walked into town this afternoon to pick up some basic groceries that we were running low on and while in the small Sainsbury’s store, I decided to pick up some Corona beer as it was offer. When we got to the checkout with our bread, milk, cream, tomatoes, cucumber, fresh chicken and [...]
I’m finishing wrapping up the presents in front of the fire and Kirsty is making her world-famous Brownies in the kitchen. I’ve been asked to give the all-age Christmas address at church tomorrow morning so am putting the finishing touches on what I plan to say. Something about Chocolate Sprouts I think!
Enjoy your day tomorrow [...]
I was reading Dave Johnson’s post about what rss feeds he subscribes to and it got me thinking it would be good to recommend a few of the blogs that I read too.
I subscribe to hundreds of different feeds from around the web ranging from youth ministry and human interest through to technology and research. [...]
Last night I bought some cigarettes for the very first time. It’s not the first time I’ve smoked them (that was when I was 16 and wanted to fit in with some friends), but it was the first time I had walked into a shop and asked for them over the counter. I used to [...]
