Bloxorz
Posted by Peter | Filed under Games
I recently stopped by Miniclip.com to kill a bit of time. In doing so, I ran across a great little game that’s simple but oh-so-cunning, and it’s called Bloxorz. Check it out:

The basic concept is very simple — you’ve got a 1×2 sized box which you need to roll around a grid without falling off the edges, ultimately reaching the exit. It is unusual because the orientation of the block really matters — vertical or horizontal — and you can’t change orientation without rolling across to the next space, which could make you fall off the edge! You also need to hit certain switches only when you are vertical, and you can only exit the level when you are vertical.
This makes it very interesting because you often have very confined spaces in which to turn and move, and you often need to carefully avoid bad switches which will make crucial bridges disappear.
Great fun, and brilliant for dipping in and out of whenever you’ve got a few minutes free.
Preparing for Harvest - part 1

[My notes from session 1 of the mini-conference "Preparing for Harvest" at my church (Grace Church - Scotland)]
Context
Let’s begin with some context from Genesis 1:28:
- First thing God did to man was to bless him
- First thing God said to man was “be fruitful“
Even in the garden of Eden, Adam had a job to do: he was to tend the garden (Genesis 2:15). That was his purpose, but not his reason for existing. His reason for existing was to be in relationship with God. Today, our exact purposes may vary (we are not all called to be gardeners!), but we are all called to be fruitful in what we do, and we all have the same reason for living: that is to know God (see John 17:3).
Bible Teaching
Posted by Peter | Filed under Faith
I’m having plenty of ‘L’ plate experiences in my walk with the Lord lately, so I just thought I’d share some… hence the creation of this blog! (For anybody who doesn’t know, an ‘L’ plate is what learner drivers in the UK have to put on their car until they pass their driving test).
Anyways, Bible teaching is something I’ve been doing in some small capacities for around 3 years, but I’m still very very much a learner at it. My opportunity to really get my teeth into some teaching came a couple of weeks ago, when my Pastors went on holiday.
