One of the special things since we’ve come home from our trip has been the arrival of George, Dylan and Gillian’s newly adopted son from Taiwan, who is the blood-brother of Evie, their adopted daughter. It’s such a blessing that he fits into the family so well and it was great to see the two little ones playing together with big brother Max’s help.
We’re even more determined to move back to Brisbane now – to be closer to them and to Andrew, our third son, and his wife and kids. We have our eye on a little house at Fairfield with a great yard. Might need to renovate the bathroom and toilet, but otherwise it won’t take much to put our stamp on it.
It’s good to be back at work – this is my third day. I actually restarted a few days earlier because I was a little afraid of writing my first sermon. I think it turned OK in the end. It’s based on Psalm 84. There’s a mystery in knowing what to preach and why this or that passage. I wondered for weeks where to start, but as soon as I got back home I knew Psalms was as good a place as any. I’m going to do a few psalms before heading into Luke’s Gospel and Acts. For January, I’ve got ideas of studying the life of Francis Schaeffer and going back to Bonhoeffer’s love story.
