I haven’t played a computer/video game in, oooh, ages. Not properly, in any case.
I am still unsure whether this is a good or a bad thing…

This feels a bit geeky…
… and, in truth, it probably is. But I’m writing this post, from an Acer laptop, via a wireless connection to my modem/router upstairs.
I know, I know, the world and its gerbil has done it. And it’s not even a very good laptop. But, hey! It’s a first for me. Plus I can’t help thinking that I’m somehow embracing my inner geek by doing so. Especially as I’ve got it to dual-boot with Ubuntu (though that doesn’t seem to like the wireless adaptor on the laptop).
All I need now is a Blackberry or smartphone of some description and I’m there!!
Sad, sad, sad…

What to preach on?
Before I go on with this, please note that I’m not meaning to be churlish – honest!
It’s just that a week on Sunday (June 29) is my last “official” Sunday at Cemetery Road Baptist Church, where (for those who don’t know), I’ve spent the last year as part of my training for becoming a minister. And Nigel, the minister, has given me a free choice of what I preach on, rather than have me fit in with the current series that’s being looked at.
Which is great, except I haven’t a clue what to preach on! It’s a bit like when you were at school and were given a blank piece of paper and told to “draw something”. But what? You had the whole of the world to choose from – how could you decide?
Similarly here: I’ve got the whole of the Bible (pretty much) to choose from. Do I just go with the lectionary readings for that week? Do I revisit one of my old sermons? Do I choose something that’s vaguely related to moving on? I’m really, really, stuck!!
