It's hard to believe that this year's BMM Bigger Weekend was nearly two months ago now. It was a brilliant weekend - the Holy Spirit was there, challenging us and renewing us. Men who came along left with a renewed sense of calling to men's ministry and helping disciple and encourage the men in their home churches. 

It was a privilege to have organised it and made the weekend happen. 

Since then, it's been back down to earth with a bump. This past week has been the first since the Bigger Weekend where I've done a full five-day working week in my day job, but because of the bank holiday tomorrow, I've been busy getting ready for this week's deadlines so it doesn't feel like a 'normal' week, should such a thing exist.

I can't complain because those few weeks have included a day with the Daleks in Sheffield for a preview of the new Doctor Who computer game that comes out in June, a holiday (although, thanks to a volcano, not to the intended destination) and a chance to catch up with family and friends. 

However, it's also been incredibly busy getting ready for this year's Bigger Breakfast and Bigger Match. We've got the websites for both ready and are now live. They're packed with advice and tips to help you run these great events and they will help you encourage the men in your church and encourage men outside of it. 

I'm looking forward to hearing what you have planned for your breakfasts this year!

Every blessing
