CATCHING UP




As of today...5812 hits on this site. Way to go everyone!

A great response to the Acts and Doctrine blog - with a 13-page paper attached...thanks Mark...I read the paper and it was superb!


Jackie and I had a wonderful weekend in Silverthorne Colorado...stayed in a marvellous home, ministered 3 times...first time to have someone request that the Friday evening session be repeated on Sunday morning (they had already tried what we suggested and it was working)...we did and so spoke on two themes in the time allotted.
What a great congregation - thanks Rick and Marietta.


Arrived home Sunday night to crash a family party going on...with 9 already having a blast. It was fun - at Brad and Amy's home. Thanks for the visit Cami and for bringing Rach and Evan with you!! What a feast of cousin mania! Mud pies, wie sports, must have jam moments, kids flicks.

Monday..the day spent with family and everyone around our table for supper...(except Huisingas - sorry for the bug Carson!) Trying to catch breath from it all, but it is great. And today most will head to the zoo...and then eat out.


Then it is back to serious writing...in a snatch today? or for sure in earnest tomorrow. Easy to put off...but it does take Spiritually alive, mentally ready focus to do well with. Seventeen writing days left to the deadline. Thanks for your prayers. Seven of 11 chapters through first write.

Been reading Romans lately...and this advice from chapter 13 (The Message) rings particiularly relevant to this rambling blog...
"Make sure that you don't get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God...Be up and wake to what God is doing!
God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed...
(so)dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!"

Staying alert and in Christ - with you.

David
