Weekends away, new phones and Flickr

Umm... just got myself a Flickr account to put all my photos in from my camera, as well as my beautiful new camera phone, which is incredible.

Seems like ages since I last blogged - been caught up in college work and Lab work and all sorts, and then just seemed to have so many ideas swirling around my head that I couldn't get them all down - but this week is hopefully going to be a slightly slower paced one, so hopefully I'll get the chance to work out some ideas and put down some thoughts this week on different things.

Also really want to get to grips with my chaplaincy blog, which I've neglected really badly - really want to give that another go, maybe with some more comtemplative stuff or meditation or something.

Had an amazing weekend up in the Peak District with some other guys involved in missional community and emerging church in the UK - was exactly the chance to relax and slow down that I've really needed over the last couple of week. The surroundings were incredible, as the photo bears witness - there was just an incredible sense of encountering God in the beauty of nature. And the company and conversation was amazing as well - so much I want to explore and to blog about.

Oh, and thanks for getting your fingers out and rating some of my posts - it's great to get some feedback... think my next mission with the blog is to try and provoke some conversation and build up some comments...
