Unique design

Another Week! Our local newspaper arrives on a Wednesday but these days it feel as though they are being delivered every second day.

On the good side, I feel that God is stretching and growing us as a family. The further I walk as Christian husband, the more I realize that God wants us to be what He has designed us to be.
How often do we meet people and enjoy them for who they are and slowly start trying to change them to what we want them to be. Normally this is done through guilt manipulation (which is witchcraft by the way) tactics.
A car is used on the road, a truck carries huge goods and a tractor ploughs a field. That is what they are designed to do. Why are we always trying to change a perfect design. Or use a certain design for another purpose.
The more I try and compliment who and what Shan is, the proverbial other half, the better things work.

Facebook

It's crazy. This race to see who has more friends. Well after pinching all my friends and digging up some of her old school friends, Shan is kicking my ass.
This is the world of Facebook. My advice, stay away. Actually, I am sure crack is less addictive. All said and done, I am very happy to chat to some people that I have not had contact with for many years.

Our weekend was good. Time spent with friends and each other. Nice. Also pancakes was a hit. I am sure it is the N.G.K. secret plan to make all the charismatic church goers fat and then take over the world. What do you say Pinkie?

Rock on (not on crack though)

Woza weekend!!!

I sit here on this Thursday night, exhausted. Shan is in the lounge and can hardly keep her eyes open.
It has been an incredible week.
We have had Shan's cousins and their other halves over for a braai on Monday night which turned into a wood burning fest on our deck.
Wednesday saw our long lost friend Roy, knocking a our door, smiling from ear to ear and looking well. Supper plans found us at "That Italian Place" for an wonderful chow (as usual). After much chin wagging and catching up, we ended up at Chris and Mich for a movie until some stupid hour, for a school night.
All this after taking full advantage of four days of perfect sea conditions diving with my mate Brett. To be totally honest, I think that is why I am so bushed.

Now it sounds like I am moaning, but I am truly thankful for this blessed life we live. Also the gaining the ability to say "we are having some quiet family time" is probably one of the most valuable lessons I have learnt to date. We all have the right to say "no".

Beginning

 

Well this is the start of it. We hope to keep the comments on this blog straight from the heart and as up to date as possible.
