About a year ago, Mairi and I had our engagement photo shoot with one of the most creative and darn talented photographers you will ever come across – he happens to be a personal friend – but he is epically creative and darn talented! Rob and Hannah Dight run Epic Love Photography from their home in Northern Ireland and are responsible for a lot of the photography over the last few months on fbn2. If you are interested in any wedding/romantic/alternative family photography drop them a line! You can follow them on twitter @epiclovephotos –

It’s nearly September and, thanks to the generous efforts of the very talented @rwbrowne, @FirebrandNotes has a new logo and some rather cool art work. Smiley face.

For those of you who haven’t come across any of C.S.Lewis’ short essays, may I introduce you to arguably his best – The Weight of Glory
The essay contains some delicious thinking and expression about ‘glory’ and heaven and touches the beginnings of articulation around those things in us that words can not express. (Romans 8:26).
Having read the essay a few times over the last few years, there is one recurring thought from it that often crops up for me when I feel these deep places in my soul stirred by nature, my wife, family and friends, or by the presence of Christ.

If you love your exercise and would benefit from some low-cost and free resources to help you in this new season, here are a couple of paragraphs plugging two of the best resources that I have discovered in in the last 15 years working within exercise and health.
The Presence Project Intro
On July 24th and 25th 2013, I took a bunch of mates into Peak Studios in Bradford, England, to record The Presence Project.
The project combines a beautiful worship song that will encourage you to treasure the presence of Jesus above everything else in life and a video inspiring you to pursue Him more than ever before.
The Presence Project will be available here to view for free at the beginning of September 2013.
Here’s the new, mid-September edit – Presenting the Presence Project:

Bikinis, Lads’ Mags and Troll-Hunting
This weekend saw a new low in the depths to which some people will go to cause offense, hurt and upset to others via forms of social networking such as Twitter. On Saturday, the UK’s Twitter lead, Tony Wang, publicly apologised over the head of the weekend’s ‘Trolling’ incidents where certain individuals abused women. Wang said,
“I personally apologize to the women who have experienced abuse on Twitter and for what they have gone through.”
The abuse they’ve received is simply not acceptable. It’s not acceptable in the real world, and it’s not acceptable on Twitter.”
