Well I have just got back to the office from an exhausting stressful difficult funeral, but the Lord really helped us and I preached the Gospel hot and strong and everyone felt the mighty presence of God and we really felt spiritual victory by the end.
Philip, Louisa and Lucas Silva were great with the worship songs, Liz was as amazing as ever, and in the end everything really came together. There was a big crowd present and lots of emotion of course.
The order of service just kept getting altered as we went along. In the end the little boy's mother who abandoned him as a baby asked to sing (and it was pretty bad), a cousin asked to read a message (good), the boy's school headteacher asked to speak and she was good, the father (who also abandoned the child) spoke a few words, and an uncle spoke (well). Then finally the grandmother from our church, who brought the lad up, also spoke nicely. There is a lot more about this whole story that I can't write here. All I can say is that the whole story is very sad and drugs are involved.
Well, now I must get on working on sermons for the weekend. May the Lord help me!
Liz is going off now to see Felipe, our 17 years old grandson still in hospital, who is no better and now has an abcess inside his throat and his fever will not recede. Please pray.
