One of those weeks....

I looked back at my blog from last year and realised I made a post on the anniversary of my dad's death then too. Well that's not til Thursday but it seems my trend of sporadic and often depressing posts continue. My aunt carole died on Saturday after a long battle with cancer, Carole being my dad's sister. I'm glad she is no longer suffering but am very sad. It comes only a few days before dad's anniversary as I say and as there was a striking resemblance bet wen my dad and his sister, these last few months have been very painful, almost reliving my dad's illness, which is something I never thought I would have to experience again. Or my Mum. I'll miss my auntie.

Upside stuff? Well Venture is going ahead. Yippeeeee! We've got 30 kids booked on to Christchuch 2 and we're saddling up for the Wild West theme.....Sugarhill Gang's apache is keeping me awake nights!

I've been helping lead Kosmic at church which is ace...more playing with kids!

I'm off to see Rob Bell on tour next week - inspiring Christian leader and I'm very excited to see him talk live. He is responsible for Nooma - a set of teaching aids which I've found really useful and provocative. My home group are making our own version (unoriginal and cheesey but who cares!)

Will write more soon 'cos I've got busy times on the horizon!
