The day after

This weekend that has just gone past I was at the Mighty Men's conference in Greytown in Kwa-zulu Natal. A couple of men (17) from our church went down to see Angus Buckham speak. He is a very humble man, yet an incredibly powerful speaker.

It was an amazing experience. There were 7000+ men gathered at the conference everyday. The praise and worship was a awesome experience. I do not not know if any of you have ever heard 7000 guys sing. It's really cool let me tell you.

This morning I woke up feeling quite dizzy. I think I picked up a cold or something at that weekend cause it was very cold in the evenings, especially because our camp site was situated next to a lake. It's a beautifull campsite. I'll see if I can get a photo or two of the camp site from Chris.

This coming weekend I'm off to Natal again to the young adults camp of our congregation. It's at Kailager. We are leaving on Thursday and getting back on Tuesday the 1st of May. Really looking foreward to getting to the coast again. If I could I would live by the coast. I would then become a pro surfer or bodyboarder. I love the adrenaline rush in the waves!

Anyway, have to be off to the youth leaders meeting to prepare for next weeks youth (4th of May). If you read this before then, please remember to pray for us.

Thanks and God bless you and your week

My life etc

No not something about mary. something about me. ya ya i know its lame. So what about me? Well im blond and have blue eyes blablabla... no actually i hav got brown hair, but the blue eyes remain. Busy in my office at the moment taking a break from work and listening to a cd that a friend of mine gave me to listen to. The bands called Terminal. Pretty good so far. Anyway, my line of work is working with youth/teenagers. I'm the uthpastor of the West Rand Lutheran Church in the westside of the Westrand of good ol Joburg. Was appointed uth pastor this year. It's been interesting so far. Alot of hard work involved (cause its teenagers) :). But I still luv u guys, no stress. Had a bit less work over the easter period cause it was skul holidays, so there was no uth 2 organise the last few fridays. Hang in there guys, it's gonna start up again in 2 weeks time (yea i know its still TWO whole weeks, that's 14 whole days and...no i'm too lazy to work out the hours, minutes and seconds, sorry).

All the meetings etc started again this week. So don't hav much time cause the uthleaders meeting starts in...wait...2 hours aaannd 56 minutes exactly...that is if my pc time is right. We're gonna cook up a storm 4 this term, so get ur umbrellas ready and get ur raincoats out. A safety tip: Don't stand near or under trees around the church building or the surrounding areas cause u might be a victim of the lighting bolts that will....o man, thats lame. I think my brother, mic is influencing me into the wrong line of thinking. and Jona ur also catching onto that bad habbit of his :) if u know what i mean.

Anyway, gotta go and carry on working on the meeting stuff. It sucks doing admin, but sum1's gotta do it :(. No, its not that bad.

So write back or send a pic or whatever u wanna do. Or u can just read my weekly blog.

Poetry of the week: "hmmm, can't seem to find it...hold on...ok here we go...

"He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something."" :) (Author unknown)

On a serious note, my condolences to all the families who lost a loved one in the Virginia tech shooting on the 16th of April 2007. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you. It's really sad to see what this world is getting to. I had to think back to my varsity days and what a tragedy it would have been if something like that had happened at my varsity. 33 lives were tradically lost. Who knows how many were sent prematurely into eternity without knowing God. What a terrible loss and tragedy. My heart aches for everyone one of them. Hence it's so important to not leave bad air between you and your loved ones and to make sure that you know where you are going to spend eternity once this life here on our planet ends. If you are not sure where you're going to once this life is over, then drop me a mail and I WILL get back to you.
