Back from houseparty…

November 20th, 2006

Well, I got back from CU houseparty - an awesome weekend, most certainly. Highlights include:

* Not falling asleep at all in any talks, seminars, etc - although I did come VERY close in one of Andy Weatherlys main talks, but the semi-sleep that I was drifting off into energised me sufficiently to return to full-awakeness. A close call! (I did also, I think, sleep briefly in the coach on the way back.)
* Spending some time getting to know some people a bit better.
* Seeing my old housemate, Tom Pickett, who now lives in Cardiff but came to cook what with being an ex exec member and all.
* Having done the seminar (my half of which, BTW, didn’t go great I didn’t think, because I had tried to fit too much in, and hadn’t had enough time to think through properly what I wanted to do and structure exactly - I’d had the prep time but not the time thinking about it as I did other stuff, and the nature of the thing meant I had to do limited application because Matt was doing that later - which did seem to make it irrelevent, which it wasn’t. It didn’t go awful, either, I didn’t think, mind.)
* Having a couple of useful theology chats on the saturday night. Went to bed at 4:30ish - about half an hour after my optimal houseparty sleeping time.
* Watching Tom Howey give the most awesome introduction to our new amp, “Jennifer Jane”.

Oh, yeah, and we got told some stuff about God, too…
