Firm Foundations (and dry ones too, please)
Yes, I know I havent posted anything on here for ages. Sorry, but I just seem to have been so busy, and there have been a million other things to do. Not a good excuse, I know – but I will try to get back here more often.
This week though, I am on holiday and going to see my grandson Jacob for a few days. Then I am going to spend the Bank Holiday Weekend with about 800 young people in a field in Hertfordshire!!! Firm Foundations is a youth camp organized by the Boys Brigade and Girls Brigade – a group from our Church goes every year, and this year they have persuaded me to go too. One thing however – they are all camping in tents – I am not. My camping days are over….I dont DO camping (unless it is in a Winebago)…camping and me dont mix. Therefore I will be staying in a local Travelodge (with my own bathroom, shower, TV, toilet and comfy bed). During the four days of the camp, though, I will be “roughing it” with the guys – eating- and no doubt getting rained on like them. I’m sure they will give me a hard time for not “camping” with them – but tough! Hopefully we will all have a good and blessed time, and will return home safely and happily to our loved ones afterwards.
Great to report that our Church Weekend at Eastbourne went very well. 26 of us had a fantastic weekend of study, fun and laughter. I hope everyone had as good a time as I did – there are certainly a few voices calling for a repeat next year – although I think it is more likely to be in two years time. Thanks to everyone who came and took part – we certainly did a lot of laughing!
To those who still keep checking this blog – thank you! Stick with it – I will update more often, when I get back into my routine. God bless – Stephen.
