Speaking the Truth in Love
Yesterday Carrie and I ran some errands around the shops near home. Then in the evening we went to Northside Baptist in Greenville, SC. Pastor Samargo was very welcoming and we enjoyed their church very much. Unfortunately I realised at the last minute that my notes I had left somewhere south of Macon, GA. So…
I have really enjoyed being with the pastor and people of Bible Baptist in Warner Robins, GA. We had the privilege to visit their Christian School Tuesday morning and Jacob and I were really blessed. Many of the people I spoke to in the church had travelled to various places in the world with the…
In our last blog we mentioned the possibility of a delay due to bad weather. Well, we hit the road anyway and we found it looked worse than it really was. We made good time and arrived in Greenville, SC at Carrie’s mom’s home with no problems. Ashleigh and Samuel slept for pretty much the…

I waited more, tried to by a coffee but they were opening late, and kept waiting. Still no Bakers. Eventually there was an…
Merry Christmas! Well, I am up, dressed and waiting on everyone else. 🙂 Ashleigh has still not hit that "Its 4am let’s open presents" stage yet, thankfully. God has blessed us with a circle of very generous friends so Ashleigh has a long day of opening presents ahead of her. Once the children are up…
Yesterday evening we had our carol service. We had a few visitors and every one seemed to have a good evening of worship and fellowship. I appreciate those who took part in Scripture readings and special music. Everyone did really well! Kyle and Karen sang, "From the Squalor of a Borrowed Stable". They both sang…
