Another day.
Tasks to do and tasks to recover from.
I answered lots of emails today. Its nice answering emails. It allows you to feel a sense of accomplishment and expectation both at the same time. Perhaps for me, it even has a touch of novelty about it. I guess I don’t often spend time sitting around my computer answering emails…

Hobbled around campus today on legs that were insistently reminding me of the hills I ran yesterday and how surprised they were at the experience. Went to the gym this evening and made my arms feel like they ran hills too. I’m going up to Squamish this weekend to do some climbing and I’m a bit worried that my arms or legs might go on strike while I’m hanging from them…

Check out the slab! We don't have anything like this stuff in Melbourne.



I bought a terrific little device today, that I honestly think is the best invention I’ve bought this year. Its called a “book hug”. Costs 10 bucks and it simply holds books of all sizes securely open on the table. I’m wonderfully proud of it and am looking forward to reading all my books – just to use it!

Today's great quote is Dallas Willard. His definition of spiritual formation would surely be the greatest I have read - and surely the most challenging endeavour to be a part of:
Spiritual Formation is the spirit – driven process of forming the inner world of the human self in such a way that It becomes like the inner being of Christ himself.
That is surely what this is all about. Change my heart, O God.

Its wonderful to know that I don’t have to figure everything out. Especially in a time when people go to extreme measures to terrorize others, there is a simple peace that can rule our hearts and minds.

I think I drank too much blueberry juice today. Apparently next month is blueberry month in Canada. I like blueberries.
