A fantastic weekend in Mosselbay!

Life can be pretty busy in 'Forsterdom' (as Janet so aptly describes our clan)! Between family responsibilities, Church and ministry commitments, and of course work we are always on the go!

This weekend, however, our good friends Cois and Corne invited us to their place in Mosselbay (Diaz strand to be exact). What a fantastic weekend we've had! Cois and Corne, who are also in ministry, realy know how to kick back! We lazed, relaxed, chatted, watched DVD's, surfed the web, and swam in the heated pools. Of course the Springbok victory over the All Black was a cherry on top!

I haven't felt this relaxed in ages!

Good friends, good times!

Cois and I spent a lot of time talking about our various faith traditions and theological perspectives. Cois was an AFM pastor, and of course I am a Methodist. Cois has three degrees (two in theology and one in psychology). He is a deep thinker with a sharp theological mind! Their perspective on life and ministry is challenging and refreshing. I find it an inspiration! I look forward to being challenged to grow in new ways as our friendship develops in the years to come. Of course I also hope to share some of my passion for social justice and the depth of our historical spiritual heritage with him.

Now, however, we're on our way back to Somerset West. The kids are sleeping. Courtney starts school tomorrow. Megie's client load is at full capacity! So she will be busy. I've also got quite a lot on my plate! Please pray for me as I continue to settle into my new post - I am struggling to fin the time and space to write.
