Fun At Newport Pagnell

Hi guys

Not much to report today, had to meet with our financial planner this morning. Some of the policies I’ve claimed on were in joint names so we need to replace cover for Teresa. After that I headed up the M1 to Newport Pagnell services to meet my friend from Cliff College. Rhianan and myself were part of a little group of night owls who would stay up long after everyone else had gone to bed watching ‘worldly’ DVDs. Great fun after a day of heavy theology! We had a good chinwag, caught up on Cliff College gossip, talked about our dissertations and drank coffee. It was great to see her.

This afternoon I picked up Carys from school because she was having book fair and I wanted to buy her a book or two. Mission accomplished though was ‘nobbled’ by a few people in the school playground who said ‘not seen you for a while how are you?’ and then wished they hadn’t!

We are planning a trip soon to hear a preacher/healer (Bill Johnson) from the states who is in the UK at Harrogate for the New Wine leaders conference soon. You can check out what New Wine is about at www.new-wine.org. He’s seen seeing an unusual amount of miraculous healings recently at his church in Redding, California (www.ibethel.org). The Harrogate conference is full (we are on the waiting list) but he’s in Stockholm a few days later so we might go and hear him there. Any of you out there heard of him?

Also have a opportunity at out home fellowship where we are hosting a ‘Glory School’ in the whole ‘soaking prayer’ model. Can’t get along in the evenings but might manage it during the day Saturday.

Just to say if anyone is local and wants something special to do on Mother’s Day morning we have an all age service at Wootton New Life at 10.30 am – you’d be welcome directions can be found on www.woottonnewlife.org.uk .

My wonderful mate Dee has blessed me again sending a fascinating book of John Wesley’s correspondence called ‘Yours affectionately, John Wesley.’ Really interesting stuff for a Wesley aficionado like me! Once again, thanks Dee!

Well we’ve got an early start tomorrow morning as 16 new computers arrive at our Elms Farm tuition centre at 7.30 am (!) so I’d better be thinking about an early night tonight. By the way swallowing is OK today, quite tired again though.

Once again God Bless and thanks for you support.

Dave,

so glad you like the book. I thought it might provide some appropriate reading for you. I have certainly warmed to the Wesleys since meeting you and visiting Wesley's Chapel. I have been doing a bit of "God bothering" lately. They are getting to know me at the chapel but alas today is my last day.

I will have to find somewhere nice in Huddersfield to pray and meditate.

My letters for this post are:

Good
People
Quietly
Gather
Thoughts

Lots of love


Dee
