67 & Counting!

Hi Guys

We had a fantastic service this morning at Wootton New Life. The worship was great and Keith Lilley (our preacher this week) spoke so well on Lazarus being raised from the dead. A fantastic story. After church we hit Pizza Hut and then the shops. Teresa needed some retail therapy.

I had a good chat to my parents who have headed down to Cornwall to sort out my Granddad’s affairs after his death last week. It was a bit gruesome he’d died making his tea and all the food was still out 4 days later. They’ve so much to do starting with repairing the door the police kicked in.

Next weekend is looking mad. Chloe and kids are heading off first thing on Friday to Scotland for the weekend. We are going down to visit some friends in Devon and then (assuming the funeral’s on Monday 17th) going down to St Ives for the funeral. Mad, mad, mad! Before that I’ve got hospital appointments and a round of chemo. Meanwhile I’ve got to finish my MA dissertation! Starting to panic now! Please pray I can finish it (bar the proof reading) this week. It’s taken me three years, this bloody disease is NOT going to stop me graduating on June 28th (day after my 43rd birthday).

On an amazing and positive note there are now 67 wonderful women ‘Doing It For Dave’ at the Bedford ‘Race For Life’ in July. I can’t believe it. If you want to run (or walk as the 67 are planning to do) and have yet to register then let Teresa know at tmrkipmcgrath@aol.com . It's for Cancer Research UK.

Have a great week!

God Bless

Dave XXXX
