Desire

Numbers 11:29 (NIV)
But Moses replied, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!"

As we approach the celebration of the giving of the Holy Spirit to all the Lord's people, we ask ourselves if we have the same heart as Moses? Even though we understand that the Holy Spirit brings more than just the one gift of the prophetic, do we desire each of the Lord's people to receive the Holy Spirit, and the accompanied gift designed for them?

Amazed

I have recently been through the area where I grew up. After 15 years of drought, and stage 4 water restrictions, with the reserviors being almost empty, the same reserviors are now at capacity. It has been a return to, as it was in my youth. Many of the paddock have a tinge of green to them, even in the summer months.

The earth seems a strange place at the moment. Queensland is still getting lots of rain after the recent flooding. The earthquake in Christchurch NZ, and the continual after shocks. Now the earthquake causing a Tsunami in Japan. Not to mention the continual warring of nations. Such a strange place!

Been Awhile

Well! It has been a while since I have displayed an entry on this site. Life has been great, and our work is very fulfilling. There are many wonderful blessings that are part of our daily life. More than anything else is the joy of being in the right place at the right time. It has now been 12 months since we arrived at Scottsdale, and are now ready for the 2011 Year.

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I shall never be shaken.

Psalm 62:1-2. (NIV)
