Never been so close!

We're almost there! Landy is but days away from going for roadworthy. And the excitment builds...

Raising hands together

Wow, what a pleasant experience! Together with 80 people from VWGSA we came out to KwaNobuhle and transformed the Nonkqubela Pre-primary school's grounds in a few short hours. Godd to work together with one goal in mind! Wish the whole country could do this more often.

Pure Christians

A question seeps into my thoughts... "Pure Christians... Are there any such people?" What is the Lord seeing at this point in His Church? Does He, who sees the heart of man, see any purity in His followers? How many of us, professing to follow Him actually walk with Him... In the ways which He laid out for us? Or, how many are saying and living along 2 vastly different paths? Too many I fear! Am I, are you?

Progress at last!

At long last I got to putting in some decent time into working on Landy. I actually finished sorting out the wiring - or shall I rather say the lighting - for the second? time. Even got to refitting the transmission tunnel. Sealed it an all. Man it's looking great! Now I still have door seals to fit, rear section headliner to refit, and then the carpeting and door trim panels. It's getting VERY close to completion. And how I'm looking forward to that!

Just a Closer Walk with Thee...

This line comes from an age old song, one which seems to have disappeared into the far, far background of time.

I say so, because I see - as I have seen in my life - that the world around us wants to get, and keep us so busy, that we don't desire a "closer walk" with our Creator.

Having just completed the "official" part of an outreach, it was good to be able to experience God's goodness and His desire for a closer walk with us - His creation.

Watching people enjoy dancing together to the tune of praise & worship songs was invigorating.

Life is not worthwhile becasue of what we have, or who we are... It's worthwhile because of Who we walk it with.

When Time is Not...

Time is intangible, yet we can waste it, save it and enjoy it. Funny though, is also the fact that it disappears when we aren't watching or taking note. And worst of all... It can never be found!

How memories affect us!

I saw and felt again today how an experience we've had some time in the past can affect the way we behave in the present. And what an effect - just because, somewhere back there, in the depths of our sub-conciousness, there lies something which had a profound effect on us. In my case it was my accident on the Test Track. As I tried to push a car hard into the track's small, tight, banked corner, something deep within was trying its utmost to tell me this is NOT a good idea. Didn't matter that I knew deep inside me that it'd be safe - not only because I ought to be able handle what could happen, and because I basically had permission to damage the car if necessary... But especially because I had asked the Lord to protect me! Classic case of the brain wanting to override the heart.
