A rather wet day but needed for the garden, enjoyed the "Fusion" that is the restaurant that is on the old St Edmunds site, a bit more sophisicated than "Redhot" with a sufficient menu A mix of british, chinese, italian plus, and a very well spaced out and imaculate eating area, one couldn't fault the menu, but I prefer "Redhot"but who knows I may go there again and I could certainly recomend it to anyone,with the knowledge that they would not be dissapointed. have set up in our church for tomorrows sale, was hard work but very satisfying, now wait and see, allthough I shall not be dissapointed, whatever happens, I have more ideas for the future. soon be the footie, put my flag up outside our home, and on the car today (only a fortnight away) roll on, and away the lads. I wonder how the "Aussies" feel as they are in with he same chance as us, what say you SIS, by the way your man at the F1 grand prix's is going great guns at this time leading the rest, good on yer mate, but come on the brits!!let's be having yer.

A wonderful day at Abington park, for "the Northampton Churches TOGETHER," to celebrate Pentecost Sunday, the day started well (allthough I was not there to hear it sadly) as I couldn't get there untill aprox 3-00pm, by the opening service led by "Graham Kendrick and his music" and then continued throughout the day with many local Christians who sang, played, prayed and danced away under a blazing sun that had most of us seeking the shade, fortunately the park is very blessed with a fine array of trees, which are at their very best right now displaying their beauty as only Abington park can, needles to say I am an AP lover, and regard it as "The jewel in the crown" of our really wonderful green parks, and fortunately at their very leafiest and that supplied our every need, a great day when we again proved we can "Get together" and ENJOY ourselves. I met many dear friends that I haven' seen for it seems ages, and shared many memorable times from the past, as well as hopes for the future, Back to the present today, but the sun (son) is still shining and very warm, so quite a lot to do Watering being a must at this time, AH well "little rest for the wicked, " not a lot for the Righteous either, say the world, oh if they only Knew? what rest is ours. cheery bye

After a few days rest here we go again, My dear old faithfull friend (the compie) died, but has now been resurected in a new form, better, quicker, and more exciting than before, Hurrah,
While not posting, never the less I have been very very busy,and while i cant post all that has gone on, I do give you what was my highlight,of that "lost" ten days or so. On Wednesday the 12 th I was invited to travel up to London to spend the day with my "New Pastor" at his college, Spurgeons"near Croydon.or rather spend the day enjoying the miracle that was Charles Haddon Spurgeon, one upon whom was lain the Epitaph, "The prince of preachers" I spent the day in two halves with an hour or so in the morning looking over the grounda and buildings etc, before being led to what for me was the room containing "The Holy Grail" a metaphore I use advisedly, the room where now rest many of the manuscripts, photos,and all the memorobillia that has been painstakingly collected since his death over a century ago, then spending lunch with all the other students there at this time, and then once again resuming my interest in "THE room" I cannot find words that even begin to say what that day meant to me, I do Honour the mans name, but as he himself would have wished I enjoyed the GOD who did all this through Him even more so, a spiritual GIANT, the likes in all probabillity we may never see again, one whose greatness is in my opinion absolutely unique, it was aday that i was very privileged to enjoy, as the college is not open to the general public as such, but a day I shall treasure for the remainder of my earthly toil, and one that has affected much more than at this moment I can really understand,something for future meditation, for I not only met C.H.S. in that room but also my GOD, in a very real and positive way, that perhaps only the true believer, can begin to understand, all together a most memorable day in my life thus far,and indeed the trustee responsible for the memoribillia etc, gave me a wonderfull invitation that if i so desired or if time permitted that I could return, even after my NEW PASTOR had left that I could reach him through my pastor and he would be happy to allow me a return at my leisure. Whow I am deeply humbled. and who knows what the future holds, this has been for me a magnificent enjoying, gratifying, and enlightening,experience that has considerably helped my FAITH, beyond my wildest dreams. truly my GOD is an "IMPOSSIBLE GOD" hallelujha, from an elated PtP.

Tuesday MAY 4TH 2010.
Chilly day and night, but no frost, just to remind us that our weather is so unpredictable and constantly changing. but spring IS in the air, (JUST A LITTLE COOLER), I sometimes wish our weather could be wall to wall sunshine each day, and a little light refreshing rain each night, now that would be perfection. but as a dear friend reminded me (as if I need reminding) we do not live in a perfect world, NOT YET!! but I'm working on it? think think. but the dawn today was glorious, the birds singing and all seems well. the forecast not so good, but if the "Son" shines in your heart, then every day is just great, attended the monthly "Prayer and praise Northampton"last night, and we all had a very interesting and I trust fulfilling evening, I certainly was blessed. I had an encounter with a Senior citizen couple from Turvey, (not even in the county) who travelled to be with us for the evening, and enjoyed their company, trusting it was a profitable time for them as it was for me, its good to meet new friends like this. one of lifes bonuses?. Cathy comes today, to see us. so a "nattery" afternoon in prospect. the election looms ever closer, very exciting and an expectancy fills the air, soon be time to vote hurrah, we shall see, what we shall see.

Bank holiday today, with much going on around us, sadly the weather forecast, not so good, now I wonder why that is ??, never mind our little group will be meeting at our home to begin the new study entitled "One month to live" to me falls the privilege to lead us through this month of contemplation. meditation, and we trust much enlightenment. based upon "Christ's Final month on earth as a man, we are encouraged to look at the situation and gain from His accepting as to what was to unfold,and learn from the way He handled those Final days. before He was to return to His Rightful place, a place He had always been in from creation itself, while accepting we as earthly beings can never achieve the perfect example, that HE gave to our world, never the less, can gain much insight, strength, and resolve, from that example, thankful that we were never asked, or ever will be, to emulate it, just to live in it, and share His mighty VICTORY,and triumph, whow, now that is grace, Divine. looking forward to what HE will show us "Together" PtP.

Sunday May 2nd2010
A rather wet night and a wet day in prospect today, but it is needed and welcome for the gardens, thankfully I managed to get the plants in that I wished so it will refresh and help them to establish themselves, after a strange mix up at the auction yesterday, I missed out on my shelving. I had earmarked to use in our new wet room, (not my fault), but there you go easy come easy go they say, but I did get a few nice things for our craft stall, and also a fresh idea came to me as to how I can help "the Church Building fund" in the future and indulge and enjoy my new found pleasure,
Seeking treasures in the auctions and turning them through boot sales into cash for the same, I believe a little "Outside help" formed this in my mind so I shall endevour to do just that, and see how things work out, I can use my "tythe" to purchase then Trust to multilpy it while enjoying the whole new for me, experience, thoughts here, for those who will undsrstand of "the story" of the talents!!!???. God bless, keep on keeping on. PtP.
