So, last week was something of a hard one. If you read my last blog entry you'll know that I was preaching Sunday (Sept 30th). Well just before I left to go to Church I started to feel that my left knee was becoming very stiff. God is good and this didn't stop me from preaching. However Monday found me in all kinds of pain with what I understand was 'gout' in my left knee. I've never had it before and would hope to never have it again. 
My knee swelled up to something like a rugby ball and left me almost unable to walk for most of the week.This made it hard for me to meet Louise's Auntie who had come through to J’bay for a short break with Louise’s folks. Every time that we had set to go around I found I had to pull out off because I was still in so much pain. Still Friday saw me feeling a certain degree better and I joined Louise and went out to 'Spur' to help celebrate Louise's dad's birthday.
I finally got to meet Marion which was an absolute pleasure. We celebrated dad's birthday early so that Marion could come out with us all. It was a lovely evening which ended back at our place for coffee. Sadly Marion flew back to Jo'burg on Saturday which meant I didn't really get much chance to get to know her, still I'm sure we’ll all get together again at some point.
This last Sunday saw us start something new at Church. We are having a coffee/fellowship lounge in the evening before the service. Its all about fellowship and everyone who popped in had a good time I’m told. We're hoping it will be something that young adults in J'bay will want to come too. Louise has come up with a great name for it 'J'bay Java' and we're also advertising it on 'facebook'.
Talking about 'facebook', I've also started a new group called 'Christians in Jeffrey's Bay'. The hope is that Christians all over J'bay will join it and collectively we can seek to be effective for God in our community, it'll be nice to also make known to others the various things happening in our Churches.
Well, that's about it for now I guess. I'm preaching again this Sunday, not sure on what as yet, but when I have something I'll share some thoughts in another blog entry.
My knee is loads better, just a bit of stiffness now, Thank you Lord.
God bless ya!
