I’ve had quite a few extra commitments in the past few months (such as hosting Theology On Tap, taking a new course at the Pastoral Institute), but I think I’ve kept the rushing around to a minimum and even had a few peaceful weekends kicking around the apartment.<\/em><\/p>\n4.

I’m even being good and checking my bank accounts most mornings for\u00a0fraudulent\u00a0activity (you know, like grown-ups do).<\/em><\/p>\n8. Get back to England for a couple of weeks:<\/strong><\/span> Sorted that back in March.<\/p>\nSo, I’m going to have to (i) find a way to integrate Scripture reading into my daily life (ii) keep up with the dancing and (iii) go the extra mile (literally!) \u00a0with the exercise.<\/p>\n
