So reads the ESV translation of 2 Corinthians 10:5.
I first came across this today while reading Dith’s fine post on Common Thinking Errors, the fourth in a very valuable series on depression management. At the time, given my blog earlier today from work, I saw in it a call to me to not rely [...]
Another good week, for which thanks be to God. I have found myself using this response, Thanks be to God, a bit more regularly of late when I have been asked how I have been. It is used regularly by Arabic speaking people in its Arabic form, Alhamdulillah (الحمد لله) meaning “Praise to [...]
As I ended this post on The Moral Life in Christ course, a quote from St Irenaeus, “… God prepared man to become his friend …”, makes an easy transition to the first night of the Reading the Classics short course and St Teresa of Ávila, whom we looked at Wednesday and will look again [...]
Tonight was the 5th week of the Moral Life in Christ course and last night was the 1st week of the Reading the Classics: St Teresa of Ávila and St John of the Cross course.
The Moral Life in Christ Course, run by the Catholic Adult Education Centre, is proving to be rather more intense than [...]

The course through the Catholic Adult Education Centre that I intended to do late last year, but due to my mental state I postponed. It starts tonight, and I am looking forward to it.
My Archdiocese also runs courses, and I may do one of those too once this course is finished. But no [...]
Slept until just before 6am: and considering I went to bed at 9:30pm, that is a good sleep for me.
Thank you again for your prayers: and thanks be to God.
I made an appointment to see a career counsellor at the uni I studied at; we shall see how that goes. Not planning a dramatic [...]
By my thoughts.
Like fellow Wibloggers Japes and Tractor Girl I’m wishing I were in a simpler place. Of course, any complications are of my own making in my mind, but there is nothing I like better than a good moan and pondering in my mind of the disaster that is my life and what [...]
After various people telling me I have lost weight after my holiday, and me realising it [when you keep having to hitch your pants up and tuck in a shirt at work something has changed!], I decided to weight myself: down 10kg to 85kg. Still perhaps a bit heavy, but in a much better [...]
