Hello, friends,
Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, I have missed your news and blogs, but I'm off sick long term and do not have a computer at home. Thanks, MarJay, for your kind profile comments and prayers, very encourageing! : ) I'm trying to find a way forward re: work and accomodation, my disability is making my present situation difficult to cope with. I've been too exhausted to write anything new, but am keeping the poetry event running (next one next week, prayer appreciated), and have sent contributions to a series of books on prayer (don't yet know if they will be accepted). I also keep up the contact with the prisoners, it means a lot to them, so I don't want to stop that.
My brother and his wife are coming to see me in July, I'm looking forward to that.
Our senior pastor has died, he was an amazing man of God and an amazing example to us all. Everyone from the farm went home to be together when we heard. No doubt it will effect our Power Weekend, which is this weekend. Our leaders need a lot of support, having to cope with their own grief and everyone else's, while taking the church forward. The funeral is next Saturday, and we're expecting a lot of people.
We are glad to have known a very special man of God, and relieved that his suffering is over and he is with Jesus for ever, but being human we grieve as well.
I hope you're all doing well, I'm thinking of you a lot.
