Bruce went and bought a little plastic pool for the children.

He also bought his mom a espresso machine - the one George Clooney advertises.

Wow! It took me back to the coffee shop we had in Swakopmund.

Long time since I made an entry into this blog.
2016 - September: What a wonderful month this was. Elizabeth and I were sponsored a 2 week period in Somerset West fuel included. We were asked by our Area Bishop to see some professionals as we have had a number of hard years in the ministry. Just as well. We were counseled, medicated, and had a much needed rest. One we could never have afforded.
Synod and several conferences were part of the planned refreshment. Synod this year was a wonderful and spiritually uplifting occasion. What a blessing our new Presiding Bishop is, and the Cape Area Bishop as well. What a wonderful new emphasis on shepherding for our denomination. Read the Presiding Bishop's Charge here, http://reachsa.org.za/2016/09/bishop-glenn-lyons-charge-2016/
While away Bruce, my son, led the services at church and preached for three Sundays. Good sermons too. Once again I was so proud to be his dad.
We returned home full of fire and zeal for the work of God.
2016 - October: Grinding at the grindstone of ministry. We watched a you tube testimony of the actor who plated Jesus in the Passion of Christ. wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xxRvSp5KCg this is probably the best testimony I have ever listened to.
My Diabetes is a real problem in my old age. The whole body tingles like one has pins and needles - the feet hurt all the time - the sore feet wake you at night and you have to rub in "Pedi Relax" before you can sleep again. Not complaining just letting you know.
My Sleep Apnia machine (CPAP) broke and a new one cost's R11000.00, I have no medical and the gov hospital will not provide one. So you suffer brain damage every time you sleep. My son, Bruce, went and bought me a new machine. God is so good to have given me a son I am so proud of.

To Windhoek we go - again 7.9.2014

So  once again on the 7th of August 2014 I went to Windhoek Namibia. This time I am developing a Web Page for our Forex Business, (ForexSpecialForces.com). I should say Llewellyn is developing it, I am really just getting underfoot and trying to learn how to administer it in the coming years DV - So Llewellyn and Roline have seven children now, home school them, and a more well behaved and pleasant bunch of children I have yet to meet. Pictures will be posted later.
On returning to the RSA I got arrested at the Namibian border and slung into jail, just to be released as the official made a mistake. Then on the South African border, detained for smuggling, just to be released again when they worked out that I was not a smuggler. Phew!

Mark Dies

I am writing this post long after the event. THE EVENT? My son Mark shoots himself in the head, thus ending his life prematurely (from one perspective) Pictures of the event, I think not, not that pictures are not available but they would be in poor taste. Mark was suffering from stress and anxiety with respect to several things that were happening in his life at that time (22 July 2013) A doctor gave him some pills and the pills were clearly marked as certain to bring about suicide and thus the patient had to be monitored carefully. The doctor just gave him a months supply and now Mark is dead. Naughty Doctor. I will fill this spot with more detail in the coming weeks

It is December, Saturday night the 7th and I have so much to share. 1. Since Marks Suicide, I have been rather lethargic and have decided not to continue Atlanta TV. I have been given the opportunity of doing Internet Work by an old friend of mine from Namibia. I went to Windhoek and the boss got me up and running and I went home - arrested at the Namibian Border, until they found out that I had permanent residence. Then I was arrested on the South African side as a smuggler, I brought Christian DVD's across the border. Again I was released. Phew! Since then I have been trying to manage without my medication as my medical aid expired (too little money) so I went to the government clinic and have to report to the Government hospital on Monday :) this is going to be interesting. At the clinic I was 54th in line and we were all scrunched up and down the coridoor waiting to register - so in my best Church Choir voice I bellowed "Amazing Grace" to which the rest of the folk in the que joined in. Doctors, Nurses and orderlies hurried over to find out what was happening. then we sung a few Sotho Hymns and soon the que was over. It was not so bad - and I had a long and wonderful chat with a chap about the Christ of the Cross and the cross of Christ - many were listening in and one chap asked to speak to me at the end of his visit with the clinic.

I have been working an internet business called SFI for a while now. Below is a banner you can click on to look at the business site. I also sell stuff on this site, and so can you, just like on ebay or any other of these sites. But there is a difference, if you become a SFI affiliate you too can have a large and exciting money source, prizes and at the same time build a nice residual type business.

We had one of our Bishops visit us in Welkom, he preached, he informed us about the new name of the church (I am excited about it) R.E.A.CH. South Africa. More to follow in the near future.
