Teenage Daughters .... wonderfully challenging :-)

Teenage logic is always a challange ...all good for my sanctification .... anyone got a spare shed that I can hide in for a couple of days ;-)

Death has no victory.

Read a good quote from Thomas Watson yesterday ..........

" The wheels of death's chariot may rattle and make a noise, but they are to carry a believer to Christ."

Death is never pleasant but what lies beyond is too wonderful for our finite minds to fully grasp.

I go there to prepare a place says Jesus ....

Praying for all those who are suffering this morning.

A return to Wheelock

Yesterday after preaching at Wem in the morning we headed over to Wheelock Heath church in Cheshire. The church were Gill and I were members for 11 years throughout the 90's.
Lots of happy memories came flooding back and I was privileged to be allowed to preach.
Thanks to all who made us feel welcome. It was a very encouraging time of worship as hearts and minds were lifted up to The King.
Hopefully I won't have to wait another 5 yrs before going back again :-)

Phil between hospital visits and a funeral stripped off in the car today! Not a pretty sight. Does anyone know a therapist ?

Settling In

Well its been a bit of a roller coaster ride over the last few months. Days of laughter mixed with days of tears.

The wedding of Rob and Amy on Saturday was a day of laughter and tears. Rob made us all run for the Kleenex during his wedding breakfast speech. Not a dry eye in the house. It was a great day.

Our new rented accomodation is great and we have settled in really quickly. The downside has been BT who just can't seem to get the phones working ( and hence a further delay on the internet, which my teenage daughters are not too happy about ). So if you are trying to phone us on our new number don't bother use the mobile. Hopefully we will get it sorted by Christmas!!
The other problem has been the Royal mails redirection service. Our mail is going astray. So if you have sent us a card that might arrive in time for Christmas as well!!

Back over in Wem tonight for a members meeting my last one :-(
