It’s just one day before Annie’s birthday and we are down in Hayes, London (Annie’s hometown). And in roughly 10 minutes we will be leaving for a celebratory meal. As I write this Annie has gone on her way to surprise our lovely niece, Tabitha, by picking her up from school. Continue reading

I haven’t asked their permission to share their need and for that reason I am just using two random initials to represent them. Rest assured, the Lord will know who you are praying for!
K and G are a young couple recently married. We know G very well as she was one of the young people in the youth ministry Annie and I were involved in. They both attend our fellowship and we love them dearly and they love the Lord dearly.

On July 6th 2001 Annie and I purchased our first insurance policy. The lack of excitement levels we experienced that day were only surpassed by what I like to call, the ‘We-Are-Not-Entirely-Sure-Why-We-Have-To-Have-This’ indicator. Continue reading
Just a brief entry this evening as we had rather a full and enjoyable day following yet another good night’s sleep that we are so very thankful to the Lord for. Continue reading
Just wanted to show you all this lovely work of art that was painted and framed for us by three young sisters in our fellowship. Literally smiling from ear to ear!
It’s a dismal, damp and dreary Friday afternoon. It’s 5:00pm and we’re fresh back from the hospital following our appointment with the oncologist. Continue reading
Hospitals can be such weird and conflicting places. Under one roof are some of the happiest people of the day with their joyful bumps; and some of the unhappiest with their dreadful lumps. Continue reading
