Edit....

I thought I was just loading these photos but didn't realise that the pics were actually posted on my blog already..... until now....Since the pics are already posted, I might as well finished the posting :-) We worked hard over the weekend with the four services but we also played hard!! A friend bought us rooms for two days at Genting - a themepark resort in the highlands. The weather is similar to that of Nairobi! It was wonderful. The hotel had this advertisment of the illusive White Lion and White Tiger in a magic show.
The girls had so much fun with all the crazy rides. I think we made full use of our "UNLIMITED" rides tickets we paid for, LOL!
The flying Coaster, apparently the only one in Asia. The girls went on it so many times. It goes all the way up and then spin all around....

Just before we headed out to Genting, we celebrated Kathryn's 14th birthday...

This is a picture that Vickie took of Anna with her new camera that also does these pretty scrapbooking backgrounds in the pictures. Cute, eh?

Yummy Mozarella cheese sticks.


This is the bumper boat ride...more difficult than you would think but superbly FUN! It was a long wait to the ride but it was worth it!
Feeding the fishes..

This game in the arcade was a lot of fun. It is a basketball game and you get rewarded for the number of baskets you make. Tony and the girls scored over 100 baskets! It was all very intense and fun!
We are so thankful to the Lord for providing these "pockets" of rest in the midst of our ministry time here in Malaysia. We only have a couple of weeks to go before we return to the missions field of Africa. There will be many last minute meetings. errands, shopping to do. Kathryn will begin high school this year, Vickie will be in her second year of Middle School. Times sure flew by!!

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...

Vickie in Elsamere and Crescent Island (CFS)

While we face many challenges here in the missions field, we also reap many blessings. One of the biggest blessing to us is the great school that the girls attend : Rosslyn Academy. It started many years ago as a missionary school to cater for the needs of the missionaries' kids. The school has since grown and it is now one of the best schools here in Nairobi. We are very grateful for the quality education that our girls are getting. One of the highlight of the school year is CFS (Cultural Field Studies). The kids get to camp out someplace in the country to learn more about the country they live in. This year, the 7th graders went to Elsamere Park and Crescent Island. You can tell from the photos that they had a great time! They visited a local school and played soccer with the kids. Sports is such great way for kids to get together! These are dung critters..having a feast, I suppose....eewwwww... Miss Gac, she's a great teacher and Vickie loves her! She taught Kathryn...
