'Gee gas!' [go for it!] Liam the great, today and the Rugby!

Thanks so much for all the prayers for little Liam! He is doing so much better. As you may recall, Liam was born very early (premature at just over 6 months of gestation). That has left him with a few little health challenges, one of which is his lungs. Megan and Liam were to fly to Argentina with me, but sasly he fell ill and so they could not come along. When I got back he was much better for about a week, but then his lungs started giving some trouble again - earlier this week the doctors wanted to admit him to hospital, but thankfully we were able to care for him at home with a few doses of antibiotics, some other meds, and 'the mask'! He's such a good little guy.

In this picture he is playing the piano while Megie 'gee hom gas' (an Afrikaans saying that can be roughly translated as 'go for it!') He's such a good little guy. He sits so still until it's done, then he runs off again to play with the dog!

Today I'm leading a leaders 'advance' (i.e., not a retreat!) We'll be looking at how this particular Church can become more fully inclusive (since they are already an inclusive Church, which my friends Steve Lottering and Phil Buckland Pastor), and also how they can work for the total transformation of their community by addressing systemic poverty and establishing Goid's Kingdom in all spheres of society.

Later on I shall watch the rugby. My team, Western Province, are not in the final. However, I have enough conviction to support any team that IS NOT the Bulls! So I'll be screaming for the Sharks!

Have a blessed weekend!
