This weekend

and the past week has been encouraging in general.

• Listening to Charlie and William preach faithfully, in the Spirit's power, to head and heart.
  
• Spending time in 2 Corinthians.
  
• Joyfully leading a group of non-Christians through Mark 8:22-38, where Peter, for the first time, proclaims Jesus as Christ.
  
• Being part of a united voice singing From the Squalor of a Borrowed Stable and Great is the Lord.
  
• Praying with friends.
  
• Feeling happy on behalf of a good friend over a piece of good news.
  
• Feeling less anxious about pending job applications.
  
• Watching Juno, which, though it's early in the year, will probably end up as my favourite film of 2008.
  
• Enjoying my bedtime reading.
  
• Eating trout with minced crab and herbs for free. :)
  
• Man U thrashing Arsenal.
  
• Watching this year's thrilling NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest, with a favourite of mine, the Magic's Dwight Howard, winning it. Highlights below:
