Whew...a busy week!

Firstly, Happy belated Valentine's Day to everyone. I attempted my first black forest cake as a Valentine's gift to Tony and the girls and it was delicious. It's made from a cake mix, of course! This is the very last piece.... Vickie, our sugar/cookie addict with an empty cake plate. She beat Tony to the last piece of cake!! He wasn't happy about it :-)

I was trying out the macro feature on the camera - this is a rose in our garden....pretty cool, huh?
We had a busy week last week. On Monday I hosted a bible study for missionaries ladies - we usually meet once a week for some study time and prayer, Tuesday, we had the Valentine's Party for the Ladies Ministry, the same evening, I spoke in the Dorm Fellowship. Wednesday we had a special chapel thanksgiving service, Thursday, I spoke in chapel. Friday we had the charter, Saturday - a free day and Sunday, Tony spoke in 3 services!!


All these are in addition to our regular activities...I took a few pictures...
The President making his address. A handsome dude in the processional march....:-)


I wish I remember to take my camera to more ocassions...i totally forgot to do that during all the Valentine's meetings and the services Tony preached at on Sunday. I will be posting more later today - if the internet is working....

Turning 60 : Reflections on a New Season

  Turning 60: Reflections on a New Season I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and found myself talking about my 60th birthday. I’m not usually one to make a big deal about birthdays—but as I approached this milestone, I found myself reflecting a little more deeply. Sixty feels… different. Special, even. One birthday message on Facebook welcomed me to the “Senior Club.” Apparently, turning 60 bumps you into a whole new age bracket. What does that mean? Well, for starters, higher insurance premiums—got that notice earlier this year! But beyond the paperwork, it feels like a shift. This is the beginning of a new season. Some call it the “final” season of life—but I’ve decided to see it as a privileged one. Because now, at 60, I’m the youngest in this new demographic! There are perks too—senior discounts at movie theaters, restaurants, parks, museums. Priority seating on trains and planes. It took me six decades to earn these privileges, and I’ll gladly accept them! Looking...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...

Kenya

After our missions in Tanzania, I flew back to Nairobi for a few days before I return home.  No trip is complete without seeing Lucy and the kids.   It is so good to see Lucy, well and walking without pain.  It was the school holidays so only the orphans are   around.  Saturday is also cleaning day for the kids, Lots of washing and water!  I like the new paint!   The pretty  chapel    Some income generating project that the kids are involved in - rabbits farming, chickens and a vegetable farm. They are expecting rains soon!   The toddler being held in this picture is the newest addition. She was left in the cold for at least 24 hours. The police brought her to the home. The other kids enjoy taking care of their new "sister". A group picture is a must, of course! The kids love having their pictures taken.    It was such a blessing to see Sach ...
