Busy (but hopefully enjoyable) week ahead

-
Despite the poor weather forecast, am hopeful for good weather for our church friends and neighbours BBQ tomorrow. Fingers crossed!! (in prayer that is ... :-))
Going to be a busy day preparing and running the BBQ. Thank God for an incredible team of people handling the BBQ - enthusiastic, energetic and well organized!

Glad that I am not preaching on Sunday but I am going to go and standby mode in case I need to as this Sunday's preacher's son got rushed to hospital earlier this morning. Quite a number of other emergencies and pastoral matters currently happening. Praying all goes well as I am going for a long planned family holiday on Monday.

Been playing around with my new itouch / ipod - my Christmas present from my mother! :-) Nice but still not used to it yet. Was fun using gmail on it though. So much easier to do a quick check of my emails.

Ah and my credit card details were stolen yesterday ... hmmm,.... so now no credit card for a week or so. Real pain as unexpectedly I need my credit card this week! *sigh*

I may not be posting for a while but "I'll be back!" :-)

P/S: Forgot to mention that I had a nice though short visit with Dr. Alex last week (he was in Auckland for a couple of days on the way to Ozland). Now I know another reason why he is into spiritual formation ... he can really draw all kinds of stuff out of me! (like a therapist) LOL!! Positive stuff lah ... no laments! And he gave me a stack of "Spiritual Formation the Run". Will enjoy giving them away soon!!

I'm off for a camping holiday tomorrow with a group of friends from church. Am in church waiting (on my day off too!) for a geothechincal engineer who is almost 2 hours late!! A bit sore at him for asking me to come in early - 8;30 AM to open up for him and not or calling me to let me know he is running late While waiting I found this hilarious piece on the Onion. I forsee more of such networks dying! Yes he's here!! Internet Archaeologists Find Ruins Of 'Friendster' Civilization

Ramblings on an active,full, and tiring two weeks but restful rather than "busy" two weeks

  Happy and grateful to God that this week I got a lot of preparation done (the behind-the-scenes stuff). It has been full (maybe even overflowing), and certainly tiring, but happily not "busy". Setting aside the many regular and emergency activities, there has been a lot of preparation (behind the scenes) matters that required my attention. In danger of feeling overwhelmed as many things got "stuck". It has been in a sense of stressful week that is actually a spillover from last week. But by the grace of God, a lot fell into place and was completed this week. This Sunday's sermon. My Easter sermon for next week (but as usual, I expect there will be a few last-minute revisions 😀) Weekly notes for April's bulletins The next home group meeting study questions about Moses' life. My mental block was removed so was able to start work on study questions on the book of Jeremiah Same for a youth Bible study on the book of Acts. While I still have 5 more Sunday

Thanks, everyone for the birthday wishes via FB, FB messenger, regular text, and WhatsApp. I am not one that is big on celebrating my birthdays. But since it was my 60th, the one thing I did was take the day off to relax. I did some reading, watched TV, and played a PC game. No not Civ 6 or Xcom2 but something different - Age of Empires 4. Rather educational cut scenes too 😁 No special meals as my wife had to work. But on Monday she made me a huge cheesecake and a large tray of lasagna. 😋 And I ate that for three meals 🤣 Monday night's dinner, and yesterday for lunch and dinner. No complaint. was good. My plan was to attend a magic lecture last night BUT, plans for derailed due to helping sort out my wife's car. The lecture was part of my personal birthday plans 🙁BUT all good, wife comes first! I told my family NOT to buy me anything as I think can end up being a waste of money if it ends up being something I don't really want or need. Instead, I decided to buy myself
