I'm out today with my new friend Sam from the YMCA Exeter - lunch together then 'drifting' around the local community - praying for the area, making friends and telling stories... just Simply does it!
Been away in London with the tribe for a few days house-sitting in a lovely vicarage belonging to a good friend of mine Steve Rees.. Checked out Olympic Village, Open Top Bus Tour, Whipsnade Zoo and caught up with in-laws... Loads of good stuff

2010 last year was a year of ...
1. highest family in England for 2 minutes in August
2. handing over Nightchurch.org.UK and it continues to develop as a congregation of Exeter Cathedral.
3. trained over 1000 leaders in various things and spoke to over 3,000 different people on changing the world.
4. laid some foundations for a movement of missional networks of churches in SW - coming soon in 2011
5. great hols in cornwall with family in summer
6. seeing Exeter Street Pastors established with 60+ folks on the streets on Fri/Sat evening
7. helped to open a new suite of offices in Exeter as a Mission Resource Centre.
8. starting a base for masters degree in missional leadership in Exeter for SW - 7 students at the moment.
9. rebuilt a derelict sailing dinghy, joined a local club and went for it !!
for next year 2011 I'm...
1. looking to push my business [generous] up a level or two to become more 'viral', more 'profitable' and more influential... www.generousvirus.com
2. looking to do some work in Cornwall in some way.
3. losing some weight and doing a triathlon with my daughter in the summer
4. having a greats summer holiday with kids and Larissa
5. blogging so much more especially around missional habits, developing simple life and starting movements to change the world ... www.steve-jones.org
6. help to launch a movement of missional networks in the SW with Methodists and Pioneer. www.catalysts.org.uk www.pemd.org.uk www.trainingtuesdays.net www.pioneer.org.uk
7. hoping to train more leaders (+1,000) and speak to 2000+ folks in some way or another.
8. looking to develop some great habits like early morning stuff, fitness stuff and some simple habits - sometimes forgotten - like being a friend, being a caring and gentle husband, reading books to my kids, slow meals with people I care for, praying and reading Bible ..
9. continue my research into missional leadership and movements to change the world www.springdalecollege.org.uk
