A year which began in the most wonderful manner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The year I outlined Let us Be Human<\/a>, which contains anything that I might have of significance to communicate to the world.<\/p>\n

Also the year in which I worked through a number of my issues about evangelicalism<\/a> – which has changed me in some ways I haven’t yet fully understood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The year I joined a gym, at last – and put on a lot of weight whilst simultaneously lowering my body fat index. I also grew my pony-tail again<\/a> – which I haven’t had since 1991 or so. My brother thinks it makes me look like Francis Rossi<\/a>….<\/p>\n

A year in which I calmed down in many ways (some probably not apparent to the outside world yet), especially with regard to church. My decision to lay George Herbert to rest<\/a> has a lot to do with that.<\/p>\n

A year in which my musical re-awakening<\/a> proceeded apace, which was creatively cathartic<\/a>. That latter post is one of the ones I’m most proud of writing – as was this one<\/a>. I think those writings are what of most permanent value from this blog – even if only for me!<\/p>\n

The year I attended a festival<\/a> for the first time.<\/p>\n

I read lots of books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I watched lots of film and TV series<\/a> (including Dexter<\/a> which I greatly enjoyed and will do a proper write up of soon).<\/p>\n

A year our eldest decided that he actively wanted <\/span>to go to school, so we gave up on homeschooling – not without reservations.<\/p>\n

A year of continuing to read lots of blogs – I’m now about 18 months behind on my reading of the Times Literary Supplement!! My actual blogroll is distinctly different to that listed on this page – I just haven’t had a chance to update yet. In particular, the blogs I read have continued to shift away from the political and towards the Biblical. I have most especially enjoyed meeting some fellow bloggers in the flesh – and I hope to continue to meet more as time goes on.<\/p>\n

And, of course, a year in which my photography<\/a> moved on a stage.<\/p>\n

(2005 here<\/a>; 2006 here<\/a>)<\/p>\n
