Jul 23

Went for a walk this afternoon to mull over the middle part of my sermon on John 10. The waterfall in the National Park was going gangbusters. It’s just a pity that after 150 mm of rain in the past few weeks my preaching this weekend didn’t coincide with John 4 or John 7.

In five months time this will be a trickle, in eight months it will be tiny rancid pools filled with algae. Makes you wonder how Elijah felt watching his only water supply, the brook Cherith, dry up before his eyes as he hid from King Ahab.

Mate…you’re making a bloke homesick
Great to hear the west got some decent rain recently. I presume this will make the Avon Decent a little ‘full-on’ this year?
Glad to hear of your next 6 months at Parkerville. I trust it’ll be a meaningful time for both you and the church.

Maybe you might want to come back and do church up this way with me one day?
Yeah – the Avon is looking good although we’ve got a week of dry weather coming up. Perth Hills when it rains is the best – not too cold, but really green. The falls are just about 20 minutes walk from my house and I don’t get out there enough
