For Friday lunch we took Julie's parents, Ron and Edna, to Sizzler, their second favorite place for lunch. There are only 3 left in Sydney so it was a bit of a drive. They loved it. Got to help Ron get some special painkillers for the severe pain he has in his hand at night. He is going to need surgery. Hope he gets it soon.
On Friday night Julie was worn out so I went on my own to the Passover gathering with WestChurch at Glenhaven. It was a great gathering of Christians and it was inspirational to see the death of Jesus through the imagery of the Passover. I got to visit with some wonderful friends, the Stewart's and the Gretch's, the Willems, the Gray's, Geordie Barham, Mark, Francois, Simon (too many to name) and a wonderful singer, Luke O'Sullivan (check out the words to the song he sang called Beautiful Scandalous Night). Met a fellow preacher, Tim Yates. He is leading a church planting in the Newcastle area called Eastlakes Christian Church (I think that is the name).
Saturday was a big day for the Little clan. It was the first time in a long time to have Julie and I in the same room with our three boys. Add to that our daughter in law, Carly, and the world's cutest grandson, Benji and a couple of friends and it was one of the best days we have had. Julie made tacos for lunch and then we went for a walk to Rose Bay on the harbor. Here is a picture of the Little boys.
Sunday, Julie and I worshiped with our home church, Northside. It was a small gathering which is normal at Easter in Australia as a lot of people go away for the weekend. I preached on fellowship out of 1 John. We all shared lunch together. Got a lot of encouragement from the members. They are a great group.
Ran Julie home after lunch and immediately headed north to North Avoca Beach to preach at a house church in the home of the Huttabarret's. Great group. Lot's of visitors and people seeking God. Caught up old friends, the Rich's, the Ritchie's and the Brown's. They meet every three weeks and are a part of the Gosford Church. God is really doing some great things in this place.
Drove the 2 hours home to my beloved wife who had recurperated from her big morning.
It's Monday now and guess what I am doing? Resting. Trying to find the Final Four on TV and of course tapping away on the trusty Macbook Pro. Julie is out shopping. She has to get all the stuff that women need for a wedding. I just throw on the old black suit but it seems that women need a whole new wardrobe when a wedding comes around. What wedding? My son, Harrison's. It's this Saturday. His older brother, Ben, is performing it. Although, Harrison said if he messes up I will have to step up. I am so looking forward to being a witness and not a participant.
That's enough tapping for now. Come on! When is the final four on OneHD?
