Interested to see, and sad to have missed, a @GraceHackney lecture on the theology of Tom Waits.
Two services done, three drop-offs made, one stew about to be demolished.
Loaded in, set up and rehearsed. And still time for 8 hours sleep before getting going in the morning.
@Matt_Dennis big hall at the local hospital - so no! Good event tho - joint church service tomorrow.
Van driver for the day. And excited to be playing with some PA later.
@Matt_Dennis Taxi indicated on a roundabout, and the van waited patiently until there was enough room to overtake. This is unusual!
Impeccable driving from a taxi driver and a white van man last night. Somewhat ironically, I was so surprised I nearly fell off my bike.
Haglahahagh raining haghalahgl drought.
Mark 11 & 12: like an authority-fruit club sandwich.
Things I have learned today: it’s quite tricky to animate background position in Internet Explorer.
Things I have learned today: mobile safari doesn’t display images bigger than 2 megapixels.
Minor uproar as the payslips get handed out. Thanks Mr Osbourne!
Pro tip: milliseconds are different to microseconds. By quite a lot. (cc @mgdolan)
Pro tip: specify your CSS animation durations in seconds, but your jQuery animation durations in microseconds.
You can swear in church IF IT’S IN THE KJV!
How do I find out who the candidates for my local council elections are?

Had to try red converse and suit combo to make sure it looked cool. It looked cool.
Going to a wedding, so removing junk from last wedding from suit pockets.
Adverts with big download buttons on software download pages always confuse me.

With ceefax gone, how will we find out the cricket score?!
Get ready for some MySQL-fu.
I am British and therefore reserve the right to tweet about the weather. Today it rained quite a lot and I got wet.
Today I discovered that yes, yes you can fit a billy bookcase in a corsa.
Yesterday I asked google whether you could fit a billy bookcase in a corsa. It didn’t know.
Today I learnt that yes, yes you can fit a billy bookcase in a corsa.

@sando84 those crazy cats
Christchurch bell just rang for 10 minutes. Do they do that every night? Or have we been invaded? #oxford
Anyone know anything about writing site policy / T&Cs / privacy policy ?

Still waiting… wondering whether to call @davidgholland
My computer is taking an AGE to turn on this morning. Probably something to do with the 96 updates it did when I shut down for Easter.
Two days late to the boat race. Some magnificent beards in the light blue boat.
And, back to Oxford from our 600 mile round trip!

@Matt_Dennis yep, thought NWA as a holiday might be an interesting idea - it was!
Beautiful drive home from #nwa2012 http://t.co/1LA95zW5
Now in Hull via some snowy Pennines. Ready for bed!
@sando84 wrong one… my bible is famous for being in an Uncover evidence bag :)
On the road from #NWA2012 - next stop, Manchester!
Embracing the minor panic of #NWA2012 last morning. Will there be any breakfast? Will stuff fit in the car? Will the main marquee be full?!
Late night sofa-bed repairs… #NWA2012
@danhames You’ve gone all Chris Martin on us. John?
Ransom, rescue, restoration -or- problem: lawlessness; solution: redeemer; result: purity. #NWA2012
So looking like I’ll be launching that new website in May then…
Jesus not only has compassion on us in our struggling and suffering, but also in our sin. #NWA2012
There’s nothing we can suffer that Jesus has not already gone through for us. #NWA2012
Do you think that having gone through the cross for you, Jesus would forget about you now he is on the throne? #NWA2012
In all his ressurection appearances, no sin troubled Jesus apart from unbelief - because all the sin was dealt with on the cross. #NWA2012
Jesus first words after resurrection, to those who had sold him out directly: my brothers, peace be with you. #NWA2012
What does Christ think of you right now? He remains ever kind to us. #NWA2012
Jesus reinterprets war, law and worship for the new age - that’s what you can do with Exodus! #NWA2012
Don’t go back to the OT law - but don’t forget the lessons of the OT law (as interpreted in light of the NT) either. #NWA2012
Phew! Good stuff coming very thick and very fast from Richard Pratt. Keep up everyone! #NWA2012
Eg. follow war theme from Exodus/OT in NT: Jesus as warrior, church in spiritual war, Jesus returns as warrior for judgement. #NWA2012
Understand the OT through three stages of the New Covenant: inauguration (Jesus), continuation (now) and consummation (future). #NWA2012
The New Testament teaches that the New Covenant has come, but the New Covenant has not yet come in its fullness. #NWA2012
Last word in the book of Ruth: David. #NWA2012
God uses a foreign, widowed, childless woman as an instrument of his grace, including her in the family tree of Jesus himself. #NWA2012
Boaz under no legal obligation, but buys land and marries Ruth anyway. Costly redemption (just like…) #NWA2012
Sermon interrupted by a man delivering a toaster. #NWA2012
Enjoying the Cunningham and Lamb show, live from the Vivid portacabin. Almost a little bit amusing. #NWA2012
Massive appreciation for the @NewWordAlive team, hard at work to keep the show on the road! #NWA2012
I can’t believe that the Great Marquee blew over in the night! (this tweet may include some exaggeration) #NWA2012
North Wales weather is getting a bit wild.
@danhames you should see Rhyl…
The Spirit stirs up the Son to pray, and so likewise stirs up all the Father’s children to pray. #NWA2012
Prayer is our hearty Christian “no” to independence - let’s be dependant, weak children. #NWA2012
Praising, asking, and especially depending on the Father as Jesus does are the staples of our communion with him. #NWA2012
We normally pray to the Father, united to the Son by the Spirit. #NWA2012
We now pray in Jesus’ name, approaching the Father as a beloved child, one he delights to hear from. #NWA2012
The Son is the first prayer: learning to pray is learning to enjoy what the Son has always enjoyed. #NWA2012
If prayer is “the cheif exercise of faith”, then the Word of God - the gospel of Christ - must prompt prayer. #NWA2012
What is prayer? Not an external burden, but the primary way in which faith expresses itself. #NWA2012
Welcome to Rhyl http://t.co/SMgi8LNQ
@Tanya_Marlow Good point. Seminar was talking in perhaps a slightly different sense to the glory of God as displayed at the cross?
Much like sights on the barrel of a rifle, we need reference points before and after Exodus to correctly understand its trajectory. #NWA2012
God’s glory only shines where it is appropriate, in a holy place: Eden, Tabernacle, Temple etc. Culminating in the New Creation. #NWA2012
The goal of history is for the whole of the earth to be filled with God’s visible glory. #NWA2012
Meanwhile: Boaz, bit of a legend. #NWA2012
Worthy woman of Ruth found just next to worthy woman of Proverbs 31 in the Hebrew scriptures. #NWA2012
However guilty we feel, we can be right with God for free. #NWA2012
@henrymatter playing tricks on people!
Hiding in the #NWA2012 restaurant.
Don’t look to yourself, look to Jesus - this is the Spirit’s liberating work. #NWA2012
@jogaway Mike Reeves, innit.
Self-esteem built on yourself is buying in to the turning in on yourself. The Spirit untwists this, turning us back out to Christ. #NWA2012
Sin: created to love God, we turn in to love ourselves instead. #NWA2012
United with Christ though the Spirit, we now take His name and identity. #NWA2012
…we now live a new life in Christ. Our old performance-based identity has been crucified with him. #NWA2012
The cross announces that our lowest views of ourselves are not low enough. But… #NWA2012
Push your perspectives through death to resurrection and everything becomes beautiful! #NWA2012
Self-esteem built on our own performance is never permanantly satisfied. In Jesus we see the most happy alternative! #NWA2012
Covenant also has system of blessings and curses, but it’s not quid pro quo. #NWA2012
Law: Covenant initiated and sustained by God’s kindness, and requiring a grateful heart for God. #NWA2012
God wages war on evil for the sake of his kingdom of justice and peace. #NWA2012
First 11 chapters of Genesis: written to answer questions relevant to Moses and Israelites at the time of the Exodus. #NWA2012
Need to read the New Testament from a background of the Old. #NWA2012
Beneath any story, there is another reality. #NWA2012
Excited to hear a bit about #UncoverJesus in a wider context. Bonus feature: that’s my bible in the video! #NWA2012
Want to know what God is like? Look at the cross. #NWA2012
The most profound thing we can say about God is that he is a father… eternally loving before he was ever creator or law-giver #NWA2012
To seek God outside of Christ is to seek the Devil. #NWA2012
What does God look like if we DON’T start with Jesus? #NWA2012
Fun in the sun at #nwa2012 http://t.co/R9tIEcdp
Whistlestop tour of Exodus: war, law and worship - all from God through Moses. #NWA2012
Moses, Moses, Moses #NWA2012
Exodus: a going out TO something as well as a going out FROM something. #NWA2012
We must use the winds that are against us to make progress towards our destination #NWA2012
