Best 12 of 12

Best book that i read this year written in 2012
Delighting in the Trinity by Mike Reeves. And for once it wasn't even close. Foundational to our faith, heartwarming, readable, funny, Biblical...this book has got everything. And it's an 'everything' we need. If we don't worship the Triune God how are we Christians? Are we Christians. If you read one book in 2013, make it this one. And then read it again!

Best book that i read this year not written in 2012
Iain Murray's two volume biography of Dr Lloyd-Jones. You can read my (too long) thoughts on it here.

Best (personal) tip of 2012
Going to Duck, North Carolina, on the northern Outer Banks for a couple of days over Spring break. It's quiet up there, the beaches are perfect, and i let her beat me at crazy golf. I should like to go again right now.

Best (ministry) trip of 2012
Taking six teens to Provo, Utah. An amazing place, with an amazing work led by Logan Wolf. We're still seeing (and hearing) the impact of this trip in our lives and the lives of the teens who came.

Best sporting moment of 2012
Was this not the sports year that kept on giving? The Olympics were stunning, England won a test series in India for the first time since 1985, the Supporters Trust wrestled control of Wycombe Wanderers from a property developer, the ECU Pirates went 8-4 and there was a month of Euro 2012 to enjoy. And we won the Ryder Cup. How do i pick a single moment from that?

Feeling like an Englishman abroad moment of 2012
The opening ceremony of the Olympics. That was brilliant.

Feeling like an Englishman abroad moment of 2012
NBC's coverage of the Olympics. That was an embarrassment.

Best insignificant decision of 2012
Starting to blog again (again). I hope my nine regular readers are enjoying it as much as i am! Or getting an iPhone. Those two are pretty close.

Best 'some things will never change moment' of 2012
Weeping with frustration for the leaders of Bristol CU a couple of weeks ago.

Best Bible reading of 2012
Reading the Bible ten chapters a day, and, with the help of commentaries, a verse at a time. The view of the canopy is beautiful, but the leaves sure are pretty.

Best 'other' book of 2012
Any other year Gospel Deeps by Jared C Wilson would be a run away winner in the book category. Get it. Read it. Revel.

Best 'best of list' of 2012
You just read it!
