Posts in "Longform"

These are the posts that are more than fleeting. The ones which have spent a bit of time rolling around my thought cage and have taken a bit of time to write. These are the posts I would like to write more of.

Took the church youth out bowling this evening, great fun had by all as far as I could tell. Got my best score in a while so I’m pretty pleased!

Over the last year I’ve been using YNAB to help manage my finances. It wasn’t all plain sailing, I had to start fresh on it a couple of times, but it certainly helped me steward my money more wisely. Going into 2018 I had one big goal: get rid of my credit card debt. On 31st December I made the final payment and for the first time in a long time I head in to a new year debt free. As I setup some new categories in YNAB this afternoon, it was incredible how freeing it is not having something there nagging at you.

My Apple TV seems to have gained some new flyover screen savers, some particularly interesting ones of London and a great one flying over Italy at night.

Nothing quite like a good old fashioned wet shave to relax yourself before bed. Haven’t used my safety razor for a good few months, opting for the speedier electric shaver out of laziness, definitely need to correct that this year.

Really enjoyed using my iPad so much over the Christmas holiday. Left my Mac at home so I wasn’t tempted to work so all I had was my iPad to do anything substantial on, it really is getting very capable, a few holes still to fill though.

Trying to decide whether to make any resolutions for the new year or if it’s time to try a different approach. I like the idea of a Rule for Life, might try and find a Saturday in January to spend sometime on it.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14, ESV)
Great reminder in church this morning of who Jesus is and why He came. Grateful for a fun day celebrating with my parents remembering such an important message.
