Psalm 100 from the Message translation:On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Know this: God is God, and God, God. He made us; we didn’t make him. We’re his people, his well-tended sheep. Enter with the password: “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. [...]

Eph 2:4-5 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ“ When we were little kids, we used to have some wooden blocks that we played with. There were different sizes and colours and [...]

One thing I quickly found out in Uganda was that there were people everywhere you went. It didn’t matter whether you were in the city or the country, there was always somebody around. You’d think you were in a quiet area in the jungle, then out of the jungle people would emerge. I guess with [...]

What would a tour to Uganda be without a trip to the source of this great river? So of course, I had to go! The [...]

Here’s some Uganda updates. James and Solomon, two young Ugandans, came over one night for an “Aussie” night. I got them watching a game of Aussie Rules – Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs.
