Totally Plastered
I went down to the house today to see how the brickwork had gone. Danny Waters came with me to have a look at putting in some cabling. We were both surprised that the house was plastered… well the gib rock walls were put up right the way through. It was amazing to see what has happened in just ONE...

We took a trip down to meet the electricians onsite today and the cable was being fed through for electrical, data and telephone services. The plumbers were hard at work making us water wise and using the connections to the water tank etc. The house is looking great and it was encouraging to see how the room sizes are working out from the plan to reality. Feel free to take a walk through the house. Sorry we haven’t tidied up before you came ...

I love how God honours our faith, however small. It ties in today with what I was reading in 2 Corinthians 5:7. This morning I am blown away by a simple act of kindness by some friends of ours.

Psalm 127 v 1 says it all and "Kookaburra Place" is taking shape. Well I have to say the speed with which our new home has come from a patch of dirt to the beginnings of rooms in the form of the framework has taken us completely by surprise. This journey of God’s provision for the Pitchford family home has been a great testimony. We constantly have been blessed by the many different people and things that joined together to help this house take place. Here is a picture of the framework up with two days until the roof goes on. Next I went for a walk through the...
Read MorePeter Pan
Just watching the ‘latest’ Peter Pan with my daughter. Wendy’s daughter ‘Jane’ has traveled to Neverland and fallen for the grown up lies of Captain Hook. Of course the difficult question to be asked is; ‘Does Hook represent Jane’s Dad or Granddad? The one thing I love about the old Walt Disney movies is they would follow on from the old story format of parables. Jesus did it best with his ability to weave spiritual truth into the lives of everyday people. Often we can be in the same country and not speak the ‘same language’. Its not about...
