Speaking the Truth in Love
There are several varieties of mouse. We have Mickey Mouse who can be irritating, but also has his redeeming features. Then we have the computer mouse, this mouse I love and is a valuable tool. Finally, we have the regular, rodent mouse and it is this variety which I am currently doing battle with in…
Boxing Day – a British holiday, takes place on the 26th of December when people box up all the unwanted gifts and give away… or is it the day after Christmas when every one fight and box over the gifts that others got that they wanted… well, none of the above really, I’ll explain more another time…
In Sunderland I am working with two mission halls that began as outreaches from Bethesda Free Church. One of them is called Hallgarth and has an amazing history that stretches back over 100 years. Both of the halls have become greatly reduced in number in recent years, but I know the Lord is going to…
This afternoon we have the opportunity to go to a local nursing home for a carol service. Some of the people at the Ford Mission Hall made the arrangements and asked me to give a short message. We will be going there at 2pm today. This evening I am speaking at Bethesda and finishing a…

Well, we have been in Sunderland a few days now and I am starting to do some research on the city. An important element in understanding a people is to know about their history and surroundings. It seems Sunderland has a distinguished Christian heritage going back over 1400 years. I will just put the information…

Well, we have arrived! The last few days have been incredibly busy, but have had a great weekend and are now in our new home. On Saturday my little brother, Natalio, got married. Today we arrived in Sunderland and are busy unpacking. I have much to share, but at the moment we are just relaxing.…
