The Joys of Moving!

For all of you faithful followers of this blog, we are still alive. When you move to a new house there is a certain amount of time that you have to wait for the "companies" that run pretty much everything to hook things up. We finally have internet, even though it is dial-up and very slow. (apparently there is something with the phone lines to this house that won't allow it to have adsl active, long story with long phone calls). But at least we are connected to the rest of the world now. We are loving our extra space and our view of the lake. It has allowed us to be a "drop in" spot for some of our teens that get off the bus in front of our house and walk home. God is truly good in providing this house for us and we are seeing the benefits/ blessings with it already.

Last Saturday, we had several from our church over to our house for the Grand Final. Aussie Rules Football had it's "super bowl" last week and we used the church projector to make the game huge. It was a great time together and gave me an opportunity to use my "new" grill for the first time this summer. (I took the grill from the roadside, some guy had gotten a new one for father's day and was getting rid of it. Free things are wonderful :-)

Summer is starting here so things are beginning to pick up for the church. We have several family bbq days, a bike outing, friend's day, and much more stuff happening. We are planning a living nativity for our Christmas program and are starting to feel the crunch from that. There is much planning to do, and are praying that it will be a great witness.

Things are going very well and we are finally over our colds. The weather is warming up and we are getting very excited, I love this time of the year. Sorry to all of you in the US who are starting to feel the cold. You are always welcome to come visit us in the Southern Hemisphere. That is all for now but we will be sure to update as often as we can. In His Palm, Chris.
