A week of things to share

I can't believe I am such an idiot. I pressed one button and my blog disappeared. I just thought oh well, you're a fool, but such is life. Yesterday, a friend said he could fix it so I now make an unexpected blogging return. As you might know, I have four readers and all four were sad that I was gone which was nice.

However, what I did notice is that I had nowhere to put my discoveries.

If you never discovered C S Lewis then you would be the poorer. John Piper tells "Lessons from an inconsolable soul: Learning from the mind and heart of C S Lewis" at this years Desiring God conference.

Sam Storms gave the final message on Christian Hedonism at the DG Conference

As it happens, I have also started reading Desiring God Piper's famous book upon the recommendation of a friend. I am finding it brilliant but have to say it's a bit like eating a cheese and pickle sandwich but without the pickle.

A friend at church said that no one should miss this Driscoll sermon 32 Hours.

You can find the Vineyard Leaders talks here which are worth a listen

I am currently reading an odd combination of Mountain Rain, How to Live and the Life of Chris Evans and enjoying them all.

Kingdom People says we should all set a reading goal in 2010.

I watched the Grammy's the other night and Album of the Year was Taylor Swift (age 19) with Fearless and the Dave Matthews band with Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux Clan came runner up to her but were without question the live performance of the night. I think I might have to check both out. Strangely Susan Boyle didn't get a mention....

I have been to the Van Gogh and his letters at the Royal Academy twice. Do see this.

On Fridays, I like to listen to Desert Island Discs and enjoyed Mary Beard who also has a very popular blog. It was a refreshing listen.

Have a happy weekend all.
