A Lighthearted look at our transportation needs

We are going to need transportation when we get to South Africa so we have been looking into our options. This first one has been advertised as a spacious pickup with which we can pick up many of our friends.

On the other hand we need something that is a little rugged as potholes sometimes swallow vehicles.






Another option is for us to buy a vehicle on the Internet and we are told that it will be delivered to our home the next day, so that might be a quicker way to do it.

Then the other day we were challenged by a pastor friend to think about economy. Of course there is the environment to consider, emissions and what our role in recycling should be. Under current consideration is the possibility of purchasing an ox cab or as some call it an ox-mobile. Its very economical, low maintaince albeit a little slow but environmentally friendly.

Your advice would be invaluable?

Dear Friends,
If you visited us in our home today you would find boxes everywhere and what seems like chaos. Some rooms are beginning to look sparse as we pack away our treasures and find homes for pieces of furniture. Even though our frequent moves during married life have taught us not to hold tightly onto things, we still seem to have accumulated a lot of stuff. Moving is not easy for either of us, but is especially hard for Rose because she has a great sentimental heart and there are many items around our home that remind us of family, friends and the wonderful times we have had here in Canada and during various mission trips during the last eight years. So pray for us as we go through the thinning out exercise once again and work through leaving. We have decided to use one of the rooms in the house and our garage to pack away items we want to keep. If possible we would like to leave some furniture in the house.
Our financial support is still not up to what it should be for us to go, we need more funds for set-up costs than we anticipated. We will need a car, furniture and other household goods so please pray with us about that. Pray also for the right renters for our home. At this point we are not sure if we are going to be away for one or two years but either way we will be gone initially for 15 months.
We hear regularly from the missionaries we will be working with in Mozambique which encourages us to pray for them and the people they serve. Here is a recent email from one of them: Greetings and welcome to the Mozambique Branch. I’m so glad to hear of your appointment. Seems to be a long tradition to keep a Canadian in the Kempton Park, South Africa office position. You’ll enjoy the work and us too. We’re a good bunch. Don’t worry about feeling distant from us you will see more of us than we see of each other! We’re all quite spread out around Mozambique, but all roads in southern Africa go through Kempton Park! (our home to be in South Africa) We look forward to seeing you next year.
Our departure date from Canada to South Africa is January 15th and we will be leaving with mixed feelings. We are sad to leave our family and friends behind, but are confident that God is going before us. We pray that we will be an encouragement to our co-workers there as we serve in practical ways. We are aware that this life is only a temporary assignment and for us we do not have time on our side at this juncture of the journey. Thank you for standing with us in so many ways we appreciate each and every one of you.

Hi my name is Sebastian and I am looking for a new home











******************************************************

Disturbing though it may seem, so called neutrality is but a sightless dream,
The humanist refutes truths logic as it exposes their unreasonable schemes.
Implying that bigotry hallmarks the apologist, who ventures close to their lies,
So they pull out all stops to defacing character and the truth is hotly denied.
Impartiality cannot straddle those two sides.

Tolerance should be the stamp of Christianity in accepting all of humankind,
But acceptance does not cover up sin nor allow the message to be redefined.
The human condition is not judged by logic, human wisdom but by God’s truth,
It’s unchanging no matter the current thought or if it is considered uncouth,
Forbearance refuses at any cost to dilute.

To attenuate is to counter and render useless the only sustainable authenticity,
It stands uncontested to the thinker who is honest and accepts its simplicity.
The rub is that recognition of the truth assumes accountability to the Creator,
Putting humanism, rationalism and all the isms, in a deep insurmountable crater.
God’s premise is so basic it needs no translator.

The universe cries out that eyes be open to visit its uncompromised complexity,
No theory stand uncontested that rules out deity; it only deepens perplexity.
Precision governs the world’s immovability and its ability to function unabated,
The slightest deviant from its orbit, speed and gravity chaos would be created
Logic also says ‘Creator’ as truth has stated.


Creator as stated simplify the quest to prove we are god and our energy can invest
In using our personal resources to bless, not collect, to only feather our own nest.
As time has a stated end and the right investment can help millions turn the bend,
So they see the truth shrouded in concern, not just faceless charity, but a friend.
Its not truth but reality we need to defend.
