Great morning with the Cabinet ...

We had a cabinet war room meeting this morning :-) ...An elders and deacons meeting . It was great , there is a real unity of purpose amongst the team long may it continue .

According to this article in the Daily Mail we spend on average 3 years of our lives on the toilet ..so you might as well have one with a decent view ;-)

A Pastors Breakfast ...& Reunited with the Canadians.

Went over to Northwich for a meeting with Alistair ( Pastor of Emmanuel) . He did us proud with his cooking skills ..wonderful breakfast apart from the bacon ;-) Met up with the mob from Canada again ..It was good to see them all again .

Wonderful Sabbath days rest ...

Had a great day off today in the glorious spring sunshine . Gill & I walked Chester around Colemere . It was all very tranquil and then this evening we had a meal with Les & Cathy in Liverpool . Feeling very rested :-)

Spring Sunshine

I have had a chance to sit in the garden today reading . It's great to be able to enjoy the fresh air . Springtime has got to be my favourite time of the year ... It's full to the brim of new beginnings .

Sunday at WBC was great , both services blessed by a real sense of God being amongst his people . If you get a chance to listen to the messages then you can download them from the Web ..the link is over on the right of my page .

I had an email from a lady in Kentucky ( USA) who had been listening to one of my sermons , she said she loved my Scottish accent :-) . I will have to start wearing a kilt in the pulpit from now on !

Laura was 14 last Sunday

Great day on Sunday ..celebrated Laura being 14 years young ... Grannie & Gramps , Anna ,Nathan & Dan & katie ...all joined in and got stuck in to the two big pans of scouse that I had cooked .
It was also a good day because Gill returned home in one piece from her skiing trip :-)

Family lost their dad ..church lost their Pastor .

Please pray for the Winters family . Dad the pastor of the church was shot dead whilst preaching on Sunday in the States . Mark Driscoll writes about it here .

Soon we will all be wearing bullet proof vests :-(

Making Scouse

I am making a couple of large pans of "Scouse" tonight ready for tomorrows dinner ...lots of friends and family around for Laura's birthday and this is the perfect hassle free dish ...

Speaking about Reputation on Sunday ..

Missing her ..

Well Gill has been away for a whole week now and I have to admit that I am really missing her :-) . Roll on Sunday . The girls have been great though and surprisingly grumpy old dad has been remarkably placid this week .Gill had anticipated that world war three would break out whilst she was away but no , peace reigns .... anyway I'm off to do some vacuum cleaning now :-)..

Tired ..

I think the Canadian team have taken it out of me... I am shattered . But then again I have covered a fare few miles today ..Shrewsbury , Birmingham , Liverpool. Anna is home tonight trying to heal a broken heart :-( .

Gill is in Aosta skiing with the school and by all accounts ,via her text messaging ,she is having a great time .
