Very short break away - a little bit of fine tuning for tomorrow's message, but this week things are fairly gentle for me. School Holidays over here for two weeks, so we are not having Sunday School - One lesson that I don't have to prepare for - and we are having a guest preacher Sunday Night - a guy named Steve Brown from the US of A! He is over here on a social visit and we have managed to snare him for a service. SO no prep for the evening message either.
Perth is apparently the most isolated capital city in the world, and since it isn't really on the way anywhere, we don't get many visiting preachers come through. You really have to be coming here to get here - it is just not the place where people stop on the way to elsewhere.
That is a huge shame by the way, because Western Australia is simply beautiful, and Perth is a very pretty city. Our beaches are some of the best in the world, our river is one of the nicest in the world (although only a stream compared to some of the biggies!), and today, in the middle of winter we had a beautiful sunny day, cool air, and simply a lovely place to be. Right now it is a comfortable temp (not sure exactly) and we don't have the heater on.
Yes, I love this place, and am thankful that the Lord has placed me here - although my personal preference would be to be a little further south - the South West of WA is lovely.
Anyway, when we have the opportunity of a Bible preacher coming to visit with us, I take it. Must be straight down the line, and fully Bible based of course - and KJV - but when I find someone that comes with a good recommendation who is available, I give my people a rest from my preaching.
The other nice thing this weekend is that the kids have a break from their sports too. Don't get me wrong, I love their sports, and enjoy watching them play, but with a job, church, and family, it is hard to find time to rest - I have slept in the last two days - stayed in bed until 8.15, which is unheard of for me over the last six or seven years at least.
Oh well, I guess it is time to put myself to bed, and get some rest in preparation for tomorrow.
And if you are not going to a good Bible based, Bible preaching, non-charismatic church this Sunday morning, then you are spiritually starving yourself. And there is nothing good that comes from spiritual junk food either, so find a good church that preaches straight from the Bible and have a spiritual feast tomorrow!
