Getting a head


Last night’s bible study was good – Nick did the David and Goliath story, with the emphasis being on David’s speech which showed his desire to honour God. The point of Nick’s message was that we should be as zealous for God’s glory. We all thought it quite funny how David was carrying Goliath’s head around at the end of the chapter (1 Sam 17) after having cut it off, almost like he forgot he was still holding it. At the close of the study, I commented that Nick should have entitled the message “how to get ahead in life”…

Elsa’s visit this morning was very good, other than the boys’ usual attention-seeking nonsense. They just didn’t want to be excluded but can’t sit quietly for very long, so I had to keep on telling them to be quiet. We had a great chat, she’s very talkative. It was also wonderful to discuss disciplining children with her and finally hear someone with the same opinion regarding physical punishment!

Nick finished knocking down the wall this afternoon after teaching guitar at Prince Andrew. He hasn’t taken it completely away, he will try to shape it when he does the concrete capping.
