Getting There

Hi All,

Feeling much better this week; positive brain chemicals have kicked in again (thank goodness!). I have the endoscopy on Tuesday afternoon - I always have the sedation because I'm a wuss. I'll let you know how it goes. Swallowing is unchanged - worse than it once was but better than it was it was originally! Keep praying; it works.

Teresa is running around the country like a mad-women; she works so hard......she cares passionately about what she does and suffers more than her fair share of narked people having a go. Not quite sure why they feel the need to take their frustrations out so negatively on her. It's not the frustrations that are the problem (they come with the territory) it's the manner in which are they are delivered. The sad thing is that she is 100% genuine in her desire to help others make a go of their business as we have ours. She really is a tough cookie. During the past year she has built the business, been promoted into a national role, been a great mum, organised a wonderful wedding and nursed a terminally ill husband. Nothing scares her or daunts her and I'm so proud of all she is and does!

Amy (our eldest daughter) is a real hero too (chip off her mum's block) and has helped us tremendously since she has been on our full-time staff. In fact all our staff are great - thanks to you for all your support and care.

Spring really is in the air isn't it? Had my hedges trimmed yesterday. Resisting the temptation to say that I had my bush trimmed as it's only just started growing again! Lawn gets it first mow today; the garden centre beckons. I'm not preaching this Sunday so we'll be a WNL as a family in the morning and then in the garden in the afternoon as the forecast is so good. Might even get Rachel Louise (my boat) back in the river soon - they are overhauling the engine as the moment and she's had her bottom scraped.

Well guys, once more thanks for checking up on me - it's great to know that so many people are thinking of us.

If anyone is at loose end this Sunday morning come and join us at Wootton - great Church; no one sings like Methodists! Directions at http://www.newlifechurchwootton.org.uk/.

Well guys signing off now.

Luv

Dave
