Those of you who are prayer supporters of the work at Cumbo ECU will know that I'm current on leave for stress and depression. Things are going well, thanks, God is gracious and the people at AFES have been extraordinarily generous in allowing me an indefinite amount of time to recover; likewise my good buddies at Cumbo ECU have been wonderfully patient and kind both now, and, as you can imagine, in the period leading up to when I went on leave. Not to mention the eternally patient Fifi and the rest of my family—including the church family at St Paul's Carlingford.
I really believe that the way God shows his grace most normally is not through remarkable extra-biblical revelation, nor through astonishing miracles that run against the course of nature, but just through the regular stuff that happens and the people that God chooses to surround us with.
(See Ps 19, Ruth, Job 38-42, Matt 5:45, Acts 8:29 come immediately to mind.)
More thoughts as they come.

Those of you who are facebook friends will realize that I'm just as much on the internet as always. But it's mainly music videos I'm linking too, and I decided not to clutter this blog with them.
If you really want to see the stuff I'm into, and you're not my fb friend, feel free to friend me on facebook, where I will love you as dearly and sincerely as the other 1200ish friends. ;-)
Praying for you, Gordo.
Thanks Bec!
Hey, that's why Bonita keeps contacting me about Cumbo!
We'll be praying for you. And I'll try hard not to be Eliphaz too.
(Wow, the word verification I've got to put in to leave this comment is 'prophot' ... did you arrange that?)
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord give you strength, and bless you with peace. (Psalm 29:11)
Thanks John and anonymous. Wow John, a prophotic word!
Praying along with so many others, Gordon. (And lay off Eliphaz, he was a good mate to Job, how many friends do you know who rip their clothes off and sob in the mud 'cos you're crook?)
Hey FD, very nice to hear from you! Thanks for your prayers. Things are going really well ATM.
