Sunday 5th February 2012

Our normal practice at KBC is for me not to preach on the first Sunday in the month. So for a change, I decided to take the day off completely and book a day’s holiday for the preceding Friday so that I could spend the whole weekend in Rugby. I’m feeling very relaxed now! However, the journey back down to Watford tonight looks as though it will be rather challenging – although I’m not really expecting much trouble with the M1 in spite of the snow and ice. It was good to worship with my sisters and brothers in Rugby today; however if their weather affected congregation was anything to go by, I found myself wondering just how many will have managed to gather at Kingswood – I shall find out on Tuesday.

Last Wednesday I shut myself away with my books and made a concerted effort to do nothing except my Baptist History essay. Progress was made...at the rate of about 100 words an hour progress was very slow. Only another 1500 words to go...

My college tutor is on sabbatical at the moment, so the college Principal (Rob Ellis) is taking me under his wing this term. I have my first tutorial with him tomorrow and then I see my pastoral advisor (Michael Bochenski) on Thursday...it could be a traumatic week! (For them??!!)
