O bother!! Too Late
BTW - I was well impressed by the way you made them clap in the first song of a HOLINESS meeting.
That's brave.

So spontaneous!
Well the 'real' meeting I did this morning went well. 3rd Sunday is 'family meeting' (like the others aren't??) and January is generally resolutions/committment, so we looked at Daniel this morning. The YP enjoyed pinning the tail on a very fierce lion, ably voiced by the CS. I managed not to cough my guts up in the message- praise God!
We did have clapping by song 2- which was just the way it was meant to be!

Congrats boss, glad it went OK this morning. Are you going to post your message for us all to share?

Crikey- it aint all that! Here's an abbreviated version:
1.Daniel was a man of his convictions, which were Godly, not from society.
2.We should examime our lifestyle to ensure it is Godly. Here are 3 ways we could do that: a) Would we be embarrassed if others knew? Would we invite Jesus to join in?
b) Would we encourage others to join us? What kind of community/world would result?
c) Could you pray for God's blessing on your activity.
It takes courage to be a person of biblical character. Every day we have choices to make which show courage or cowardice, to live by our biblical convictions, or cave in for the sake of comfort, greed or approval.
3 ways to be strengthened in courage:
1- participate in worship at church
2- spend time with God every day. Read Bible. Pray.
3- get involved in Christian fellowship.
2PE 1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hopefully, we wont be faced with the choice of becoming the lions' lunch or denying our faith this week- but we may be tempted in less dramatic ways, to put the acceptance of friends and the acquiring of stuff before God.
Daniel made a difference- we are called to make a difference. To be salt and light in a dark, tasteless world.
Then we sang song 862 'O Jesus I have promised' which was apt. And made me think.

Reached a happy stage in our childrens growing process recently. The youngest one has now reached the stage where he can be dropped off at school, rather than having to be taken into class. Morning school run now takes about 10 minutes (5mins each way) instead of half an hour. All the others go independantly now so only youngest to take.

I manged to get to sleep about 3 hours after I said goodnight, thanks to the lovely neighbours, who seem to get hard of hearing when they're drunk. Either that or they just thought it would be nice to share their music with the neighourhood.

LOL...
neighbours next to B seem to do that too - I thought the curfew on music was 10pm... NOT for these guys - spin the bottle and loud techno music at 1am do not a happy Sasch make!

It's half past midnight and I'm still awake! I guess I'll just do an all-nighter, more chance of a decent night's sleep tonight.

Nah, the TV has been keeping me awake nicely. Currently watching a U2 concert that was filmed at Slane Castle in Ireland.

Hey can you tell us some more about this mission in Woodbridge I just read about in the Mercy Seat thread. more detail makes it easier to pray for stuff.
