Last weekend Mrs Mindmap insisted that I go through my CD selection and get rid of at least ten albums. When she returned, I was surrounded by fifteen piles of CDs, each one with a specific genre. Thoughtful background music to help me concentrate; classic songs from my university years, music with lyrics that I [...]

Make Your Mind Up
It’s been a hard week at work. The company has taken a couple of big hits, and The Boss has had some big decisions to make. It caused a fair amount of tension – and the most, I believe, in the guy who sits opposite me!
He would keep staring at the screen, then sighing, then [...]
Like a Child
I’m a thinker – so I react to most things in life by sending dozens of thought trains off in all different directions, working out why that is, or how it works, or how I could use it, or how I could make it better. It drives Mrs Mindmap crazy!
But occasionally there is something – [...]
Best Laid Plans
I had it all planned out – a perfect date with Mrs Mindmap. I worked out if I ran I could get her flowers just before the shop shut; I could change and be ready when she walked through the door to whisk her away. I don’t often remember to do this sort of thing [...]
Onboard Refreshment
On our last day off, Mrs Mindmap woke me up and announced that we were going on a walk to catch the last of the sunshine. It wasn’t exactly my idea for the day but seeing the steely determination on her face I agreed, and dressed for the outdoors. We took a route that we [...]
Day Tripping
Recently I’ve been doing some long overdue sightseeing around the Cities of Thankfulness and Peace. They’re pretty amazing places. It was a bit of an impromptu decision to visit them but it’s definitely been worth it – my mood has lifted and even Mrs Mindmap has commented on my ‘more-breezy-than-usual’ nature.
The jaunt to Thankfulness and [...]
Mr BeAllAndEndAll!
The last few days, while having some time off, I’ve been diving and splashing around in a Sea of Thoughts. Some waves were great memories of recent times but I found an overwhelming currant swirling around my feet and occasionally recently its managed to knock me off my feet.

- Beauty For Ashes April 7, 2013‘What do you think people think when they see you?’ Most people have no idea of where we’ve each come from and where we’re going. All they see is a snapshot - a photograph – no perspective and no background. With snapshots, all we can do is categorize them. In doing so, we all become a little judgemental. For example when we see someone a little overweight, […]
- My Brand New Jacket – Reinvinting You April 6, 2013Dave Gilpin is sporting his brand new jacket and has his reinventing hat on. Preaching live in Sheffield on our First Fruits Offering Sunday Dave encourages us to make a start on the future we believe belongs to us. Changing an attitude, making a shift in direction or investing some time towards it prophesies over your future. Don't despise the day of s […]
- Footprints In The Sand – Revisited March 18, 2013Most Christian homes have one. It’s either found on a mug, a fridge magnet or in the bathroom! Can you guess what it is yet? It’s a copy of ‘Footprints in the Sand’. I’ve decided that even though it’s the most popular piece of Christian literature outside of the Bible itself, it’s a sacred cow and I don’t like it. […]
