I AM STILL ALIVE

So what does it mean to take a year off?
I hope to answer that question more as time goes on - but for now I thought it would be good to let you know where I am and what I'm doing.
I've been in London for 2 weeks supply teaching. This week I'm going to Scotland for a short break as it is mid term break here. I then have another week and a half of teaching in London before heading south - first stop Zambia.

EXCITEMENT
Different people get excited about different things. Here are some examples:
South Africa won the world cup
We had goo pods for dessert
Don Fisher is back in Summer Bay
I bought new running shoes
Etc etc
So many different things for so many different people - yet most things that excite us are temporal.
Today I turned up an hour early to meet a cousin. So I wandered into a small little church building and worshiped God with some brothers and sisters in song. They were a lively bunch singing some old songs. One was a song I remember from my childhood. The last stanza goes like this:
"When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me"
Now that is what I call exciting!!
