A year ago this week, I ‘came out’ for the first time to my immediate family at the age of 26

I have so many, but let me try to share some of my thoughts & reflections one year on…

Looks like he’s off to confront Dumbledore in the Astronomy Tower

@petewright1988 Great to see Pete!

Spare a thought for those young Christian’s in school who can’t talk about Jesus, and in church don’t feel safe enough to talk about their sexuality

Growing in faith is hard. Grappling with your sexuality is immensely tough. The need then to lean & depend on Jesus is greater

My colleague David Smyth @EANInews appeared before the Stormont education committee discussing RSE - raising concerns about scientifically inaccurate material, culture wars and new secular blasphemies https://t.co/YiRiu7TwyW

A generation who ‘GO FOR IT’

Who rise up & never cease. Who relentlessly pursue, gracefully lead, honestly repent, humbly fall down & confidently get back up

The Spirit is stirring and this generation are ready to go - praise Him that He goes before!

Another really powerful day with the @SUNIinfo family equipping & empowering pupils from all over Northern Ireland to speak Jesus in their schools and SU groups

If you’re a student in a school, college or uni, I’ve got 3 words for you…

You are a generation of believers burning with passion to see His Kingdom come!

I truly believe God is preparing the way for more Moses’. For Samuel’s, Esther’s, Peter’s and David’s. For Paul’s and Daniel’s, Noah’s and Isaiah’s

You & your peers are this generation!

@SOCobhamPod @MattDaviesAdams As much as I’ve enjoyed watching Badiashile, I cannot wait to see Colwill & Fofana together at the back. If their chemistry is right, they could be frighteningly good!

@JeremyClarkson @isaswomufc I raise you Belfast International Aiport, which contrary to its name, is nowhere near Belfast

It’s also a dump

20 years ago today, she got off the plane.

@petewright1988 So, so good Pete. Teaching the Bible to teens is the best job in the world!

FRIENDS has always been a haven for me; a constant when nothing else was. it was safe & fun & untarnished

his book last year broke my heart. his encounter with God when he was battling the most was heartwarming

Chandler Bing in heaven
Oh, My God 💔

[Conor Patton @conor_patton]

this one hurts

i feel a bit empty to be honest

i always cringe a bit when I feel sad that a celebrity has died. i didn’t know them, and my grief is incomparable to others

but this feels different… /1

[Conor Patton @conor_patton]

right from ep 1 where he runs out of the apartment pretending to be Pinocchio, Chandler stood out

Exaggerated, witty, affable. Silly & ineffably joyous

it felt like I did know Chandler… /2

I have never watched the #LateLate show, but tonight I tuned in and really enjoyed it. There was a beautiful balance between the conversation & craic that felt distinctly ‘Irish’, yet unforcedly inclusive

@PatricKielty could be a real catalyst for something special here

[The Late Late Show @RTELateLateShow]

And that's a wrap... #LateLate

@CFCPys I agree mostly here, but I’m seriously concerned about Mudryk. He’s looked clueless for the most-part when wearing the shirt

@mattnightingale @arloparks @jason_mraz @jonimitchell Calico by Ryan Beatty is a masterpiece
