On A High

Both Stephen and I had an excellent few days in South Africa. Stephen went to the Mighty Men's Conference in Middleburg, Karoo and has come back pumped and full of life - with much to share while I had a wonderful "girls" time with my friend Carol Taylor in Boskruin, Joburg.

Stephen was so blessed by being together with about 12,000 other men and listening to Angus Buchan preach. Stay tuned as I'll jot a few notes on what was said....... Amongst all this spiritual high, I understand that the Karoo was COLD and Stephen really doesn't like the cold. I guess this was a challenge for him. Both Steve and John Guy Taylor went to the nearest town about 30km from their camping venue, to buy gloves and beanies. They came back to tell us "girls" of how wonderful their camping "rig" was and how they had so many admirers. Seems like some of the men carried small T.V's to watch the Royal Wedding and a rugby match between The Stormers and The Sharks. I just love seeing Steve so fired up for God and I so enjoyed listening to all the stories of what God is doing in people's lives.

Apart from watching the Royal Wedding with a group of wonderful ladies, we went out to watch a movie called "From Prada to Nada" i.e. from riches to rags. It was interesting being in a movie theatre, eating popcorn and drinking a slush puppy....after such a long time. Walking though Clear Water Mall, window shopping was good. I really like that mall. Sunday was just superb. I attended 2 services - both totally different - one on Pornography - the scourge in the church today (I had no idea it was so huge. I feel as though we are so sheltered in Kezi but then again, we have our own struggles to contend with) and the other was a spirit-filled service - worshipping God, miracles being done, healings, deliverance's, demon manifestations and so on. I was blown away - totally in awe of God. He is so good.

Back home now, Stephen and I are still both on a high and it is wonderful......
