Reading
Well, I figured that since I get annoyed at people who have a blog and then don't blog for months on end (oh, and the spell-check doesn't like 'blog' lol) that I'd better try and keep it up for a change.
I used to read a lot when I was at school and uni, but it became a chore more than a joy. Recently, I've felt the challenge to read more, so this is what I've read over the past few weeks: Seasons by Jo Ann Shade, Holy Discontent by Bill Hybels and a book about Eden in Manchester (book's upstairs and I can't remember who wrote it).
Ceitidh just woke up, so I'll write more about them later.

Funerals!!
Ok, so not really sure why I'm restarting this blogging thing by talking about death, but there you go!
Yesterday 2 people died in our town (well 2 that I know of), and we're doing both the funerals at The Salvation Army in the next couple of weeks. Why is that of note? Well, Cathie was 95, had lived a good full life, saw a lot of the UK, did a variety of jobs and found the Lord, I believe, in The Salvation Army, here in Wick. But, Dale was 9. He had epilepsy, which was recently diagnosed, and hadn't been treated yet. He had been attending our kids choir that we started 3 weeks ago, and, I believe, was beginning to learn about the Lord there.
There are people grieving in our community, and they've asked The Salvation Army to be with them in this time. What a privilege.
Oh, and please pray for Andrew. We're doing Cathie's funeral between us, but he'll have most of the responsibility for Dale's.
