Yesterday I cooked the new (TO ME) recipe, and I believe I got it as near perfect as possible, very pleased, very tasty, BO, says the spices were about right for her,but wouldn't like any dish that was "hotter"? than that, Whow, she doesn't know what "Our Wendi" has in store for the next four weeks!!?? Off to Early prayer with the brethren, then breakfast at "The Sizzling Sausage" Far Cotton, a superb five star rated Breckie place, then another "auction, have my eyes on some shelving that would be perfect, in our new wet room, we shall see, may the force be with me, as the kids say, actually He always is?? God bless PtP

Another week, another month, both have raced by, I have a theory that someone somewhere is speeding up the process of life?? what say you, I'm sure the days go by quicker Somehow.wish sometimes we could recapture the slow crawl life used to be when we were young!! put that in a bottle and put on the market you would be a millionaire?? but life IS good,an enjoyable day at cookery class we watched and scribbled our notes as "our Wendi" made (Lamb Makloub) very tasty,indeed I shall be endevouring to do the same for lunch today, with every confidence I can capture the same aromas, and flavourings myself, here goes. early start for the day as we should get showers later so on with the motley they say the early bird catches the worm. but who wants a diet of worms,, prefer the lamb makloub??

A rather hectic two days that left me a wee bit tired, but very pleasantly so, after a wonderful week end spent celebrating our church "SAMUELS" nursery 20years of continuing success, with some very enjoyable weather, back to the basics, catching up on the odd jobs at both church and home, but last night the most recently competed class of "Freedom in Christ"courses also celebrated with a full evening meal at "The Inn Place" Broadmead ave, when we let our hair down as is said and enjoyed a very wonderful night together, these last few weeks have been a little exhausting but so enjoyable, It was good to hear "Our team leaders" have been invited to run a similar course for "Abington Avenue Church fellowship" they will be pleasantly surprised I believe with the course, now very tried and true, and how being a Christian in the twenty first century is still exciting, exilarating, and above all that ENJOYABLE, now back to the necessary nitty bitty things that make life tick over Cheery bye PtP.

We enjoyed a wonderful 20th year of celebration at our fellowship for the birth and growth of "Samuels"the Christian nursery, based at Broadmead, that was the brainchild of Ruth our Pastors wife, and today stands head and shoulders above most others, not me boasting but, born out by the government agency "Ofstad"?? who have awarded us over the years the highest grades possible including the highest merit they can give, so we boast in what GOD has done here through His people,and to HIM alone we give thanks, and we will be sharing together today at our morning service just that, Wall to wall sunshine,a big crowd and lots of fun for all, culminated in a muppetts" show that was both unique and so enjoyable, well done every one
I had a good day starting at the auction I go,to which will now be held weekly and not fortnightly as it has been . I bid for my cycle which was in imaculate condition, and am now the proud owner of a sports type mountain bike with umpteen gears and is fully sprung, front and back making for a very easy and comfortable ride, in the shops they are selling at between £150--180, Igot it for £20-00, thankyou Lord, so shall now use it for local shopping etc, also purchased a " nest of tables" in immaculate condition. Mahogany for the princely sum of £8-00. a pair of beautiful barometers (one which I intend to keep shaped in an anchor) the other will go on our,(soon to be monthly craft stall) at our Church fellowship,to raise funds for the new church building, and a box of pictures aprox ten, for £2-00, intending to use the frames for our Church craft project, an idea of mine, so a good day at the sales Amen. a great day planned today so all systems go go go.
nice little shower o/night helped harden my runner beans, that truly are running nay even galloping I should say, plus a few more bits and bobs to plant out, ,so every thing in the garden is looking great cheery bye for now. PtP.

Had a wonderful day yesterday, After a steady morning reported for mynsecond cookery course, "spice of life" what a surprise to find there were sixteen people enrolling for the six week course that included five men, thorougly enjoyed it, after we were introduced we watched "Wendi"pot three different recipes together, that gave us a glimpse of what is in store, next week we begin to cook in earnest, so were given a choice of meat or fish to take along with other items etc,so should have a tasty meal to bring home, afterwards we entertained a very good friend and sister in Christ for the evening, I made a very tasty Pot roast with all the trimmings and a sweet of my own
invention, glad to both went down very well, we then spent an enjoyable time just talking to each other, concluding watching the latest three party leaders confrontation on the tv, and finished our evening at ten fifteen, a trule pleasant evening together, fetch my new red shiny car this mornining then of to the local sales auction view to see if I can find anything worth buying , I have decide after seeing some very good cycles at the last few sales, to buy one for myself as I believe it would help me for doing local shopping and the like, plus save a little petrol, also cut down my own carbon footprint, saying that I shall probably find there wont be a suitable one in the sale?? but we shall see, look out my bike trouser clips!!?? cheery bye PtP

Thursday April 22nd 2010
A very exciting meet at Church last night, we have taken the first step towards the possible idea
to demolish our present Church building and erect a brand new one, we have two months to pray,
think, grapple with, the concept we agreed upon last night, then we shall take the monumental task of putting into practice the faith we felt then,and voting in the proposition, we saw the architects proposed project and we all were a little astounded by it, but were thrilled that this may well now pass from planning board to probability, in a few years time. it will of course bring many tears and much pain as we all love the old building with all its faults and problems, but feel this is HIS will, and the way to follow, so hallelujha here we go , whow, watch this space, off for my second course of cookery this afternoon, "the spices of life," sounds mind boggling, but very enjoyable, a new class to meet and I shall be in my glory I can taste and smell the aroma's already bring it all on hurrah PtP

Yesterday evening was the final session of "Freedom in Christ", fifteen of my brethren and I have been following and seeking and enjoying this course, which for me has been the most encouraging, enlightening, and wonderfully happy course that I have attended in my fifty two years of being a christian, we have spent the last thirteen weeks doing, listening, and taking part in what for me can only be described as a real milestone on my spiritual walk with "Jesus Christ" we have planned a meal at a local "Feeding place" to celebrate next Monday,what we all agreed has been an eye opening revelation, as the well known advert says "It does exactly what it says on the tin" I can only say "Thank you", a very busy day today, I have to visit my garage to finalise "And pay"for the Friday delivery of my new car. a visit by my lovely friend "MEL" our hairdresser, a quick salad lunch, then of to my first session on my breadmaking course, whow I can smell the aroma from here?, here we go!!

Arrived home yesterday after a very restful holiday, which we spent in Wales at Prestatyn,
we were blessed with the warmest weather possible, and enjoyed good accomodation and it was so good to be provided without having to cook it, superb food, but quite exhausted that I had to turn in to my bed last night at Nine thirty, whow!! now that is early for me, slept like the proverbial log,
miss my early morning walk all alone (not a soul in sight) by the sea, but we did really enjoy ourselves, and believe it did us good. lots to do now but will slowly catch up, the new wetroom looks great, cant wait to try it (later today), God bless from us both. PtP.

Saturday 3rd April 2010. "Easter Saturday"

Silence reigns, all is still, the furore as gone, futility is in the air, the tomb is sealed. within lies the dead body of Jesus, wrapped in the clothes of the grave, all is lost. He is no longer with us,
doom, fear and confusion seem to rule the day, depression, danger,death are at the door. the disciples hide away,frightened, what has gone wrong, we are alone, why, why, WHY??!!. PtP

(Good Friday)

for God so loved the world,
not merely the physical,world with all its beauty,
Glorious oceans, majestic mountains, trees, flowers.
But the people who have, will, and do live in it,
People of every, race, creed, or colour.
Young and old, weak and strong, good and not so good.
Saints and sinners, lame and able bodied,healthy and the sick.
People who are easy to like, and those who are not.
Those you admire, and those you despise.
Those who are his church, and those who as yet, do not know what church is all about.
"For God so loved the world He gave his one and only son"
What, oh lord can I give in response, for the lavishness of your giving.
