My View

I want to start with an apology to my frequent readers. It’s been a while since my last post. My friend Tom who also has a poetry blog has been trying to get me to post more often. Sorry, Tom.

Having dealt with the formal apology, a short update:

Seems a lot has happened during the past few weeks. * We did a church conference with the theme of “Go out!” vs. “Come here!” In all it was a huge success, with people craving for more. Premises overful, and people emailing me afterwards (and not just a few, but tens of people) thanking for the conference. Praise the Lord! It’s all Him! * Company moved to a bigger office, with more space for expansion. I like the thought of growth and expansion more than (almost) anything. Moving is always hard. Thankfully I have some wonderful people working with me who were able to pull it off at an amazing speed. * In Sheffield now for a four day combined business and spiritual trip (spiritual business!!). Coming to St Thomas’ Church in Sheffield always feels like coming home in many ways. Good to be here.

These to name some of the bigger events. Of course all of this has meant that I’ve spent quite a lot of time away from home. My wife has (once again) stretched and carried the extra burden. I know it isn’t easy for her, being the extrovert she is, to be left alone with three quite (not quiet!) rascals. They’re adorable, gut-wrenchingly funny rascals, but can sometimes be a bit too much. So pray for her if you read this. Will be coming back Sunday night (literally).

I’m homesick already! St Tom’s might be home away from home, but I guess home for me is where my family is…
