Improvements to come

Only 18 sleeps til AWESOME - I'm not going, but I'm excited!

Africa!!

We are going to Africa on wednesday!!!
Woohoo!!

We fly into Jo'burg to stay over night and then we're off to Kenya for some safari!

We are extremely excited about this! Keen to see the big 5... take some awesome photos and just do some relaxing.

Some of the time we will be camping in tents amongst the animals! So if we get taken by a lion - it's been nice knowing you.

Africa is such a beautiful continent. I can't wait!

We will be back in three weeks.

Love

We have been looking at Colossians at our youth group SALT
lately. Recently we studied Col 3:14 "And above all these [virtues] put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony" ESV. (Check out the rest of this passage at www.BibleGateway.com)


Then I came across this poem in David Jackman's 1 John commentary (we are studying 1 John in our annual youth camp AWESOME) and I liked the way it showed how the love of Christ is all encompassing. This is based on the fruits of the Spirit in Galations 5:22-23.

Joy is love exulting and peace is love at rest;
Patience love enduring in every trial and test.
Gentleness, Love yielding to all that is not sin.
Goodness, love in actions that flow from Christ within.
Faith is love's eyes opened the living Christ to see;
Meekness, love not fighting, but bowed at Calvary.
Temperance, love in harness and under Christ's control,
For Christ is love, in person - and love, Christ in the soul.

That was written by Dr Kenneth Moynagh - missionary doctor in Rwanda.

I am working at "putting on love".
