Christmas is coming

Happy days, Christmas is coming, and we have a few busy weeks ahead going here there and everywhere, well almost.

This past week has been interesting enough as it is. Caught up with some young folk who have moved into the neighbourhood from a nearby town. I know them well, lovely folk, just coming from a place that evil has such a strong hold on peoples hearts, they understand the difference between faith in Christ and religion. They have seen and known real Christian love. They just desperately need to make that change, to make the choice, it is there only hope. What hope have any of us have without Jesus, none. These are friends that know this better than most. My desperate hope and prayer for them is that the Lord calls them into His kingdom, that he brings the whole family to Him.

Puppets, I have had great news this week about them. A friend in Ukraine is going to make me 10 and Linda 5. I always need more you can never have enough. I am real happy there and it helps her out.

This is the view I saw 

As i was walking on the beach today 

The last show of the day, students at a teacher training college 

The Day of Mikes Funeral the day we heard many of these children pray 

Is everyone having one?

That was the question I asked myself yesterday. In one day I had spoken to three friends that were having children of had just had them. Only one of those couples would I say were a stable married family unit, the last in the world actually that I expected to hear that from. It was quite amazing to hold one of these young children, so small yet so beautiful, carefully knit together by God a miracle of creation. It was amazing, to see beauty, innocence and helplessness.

Sunday's show was real encouraging, it was in the kind of place we most like to work somewhere the kids have little chance to see a program like ours where the Gospel is shared in such a fun and entertaining way. Yet they had the chance to hear of the hope of knowing Christ ever so clearly. This in an army base with few Christian's, and not so much Gospel witness. It is a hard life for the soldiers and their families.

This weekend its of to see the family and do some shows in Scotland, it will be an interesting challenge and time. Not having done show's that far North in Scotland before. It will be a fun challenge.
