I've enjoyed it on this forum, but it's time to quit the Twit. If you care what I think in 140 characters or more, drop me a line and we can have a chat! Adios.

It's my birthday today, and tomorrow I am leaving Twitter.

@CottrellStephen @DioceseOfYork Love this picture! Wonderful

Wonderful to share the Eucharist with the Sisters of the Community of the Holy Name (CHN) @DioceseOfYork

@MrsLordLaverick @BoothferryPS @BPS_Gowthorpe Great drawings - love this creativity!

@jvalentine63 @CofEGuildford YES! Always think of you when this verse pops up!

‘Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?’ ‘I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut’. Two inspiring and intriguing verses from #morningprayer today. What new thing might God be doing today? #LMP @CofEGuildford

What's the unacknowledged addiction that consistently wounds the church? A thread...

The irony of reading a @guardian article on #Manston and the advert for Dream beds popping up. We have shops full of empty beds, and immigrants are sleeping on the floor.

Canoeing the Mountains is really good, and really challenging.

@JamesChristieB Yes, I've looked into that but never been organized enough to do it 😂

@MrsHannahPatton pomodorro help me out a lot when there are jobs I would otherwise avoid or procrastinate over 🍅🍅🍅

As a naturally disorganized person, working hard at strategies like zero inbox is so helpful. Getting control of emails can never be underrated in its positive impact on mental health. If you're starting out in ministry, take some time to establish good patterns.

@JamesChristieB If it takes 2 mins do it now, treat email like post, get dates in the diary immediately, gather teams to work on things, delegate, take power hours, say no... Mostly from the Productivity Ninja guys, whose work is so helpful. What would you add?

@MrsHannahPatton 👍 big relate. do you have other strategies like this?

Had a lovely visit this morning from Emma Johnson from @stjohnsgoole to see what we do! We're here until 11:30 today, pop in for a cuppa and say hello! 😊

A privilege to be preparing for next term’s #LMP NT Studies module today. Fancy going deeper into the NT? Why not sign up, or come along and audit? @CofEGuildford

@brianheasley @_UoW Congratulations! Wonderful.

@ajdbond I haven't read it, but my point is more about the way that church culture can totally unknowingly prevent people from pursuing a faith journey. Even cultures we see as healthy and positive

@MrsHannahPatton A la Augustine and city of God and the Empire?

In this season, I wonder if the Holy Spirit is trying to smash us out of mistaking culture for church

@WillBriggs Thoughts stimulated by a helpfully provocative journal article by a guy called David Anthony: the Oikos and the Wineskins. I think people who are drawn to faith are often heavily deterred by church culture, a place they never think they could belong

Love this! “For those who are just starting, or don’t feel it yet, all you need to do is prepare Him room in your heart; in your head; in your life. If you make room, He will fill it”.

Truss's attempts to hide a smile

@owenmorgan @DuncanHollands Owen - it's a great starter question for some good liturgical / exegetical discussion. We have to be ok to grapple with the Bible.

@DuncanHollands I have drawn a some conclusions in a follow up post. I was consciously provocative but I am slightly alarmed that fewer people don’t feel at least a tad uncomfortable saying certain things out loud that are violent in nature.

@Garrett_Lee Listen to Living in Christ's Presence - it's a game changer

Ok, if I could only read one Dallas Willard book, which one should it be?
