Where on Earth Are You?

A few people have been asking me where I got the amazing picture of Northern Philippines a few days ago. Actually it was the FEBC guys that told me about an amazing website where you can zoom in and zoom around the world from your desk! It is great for projects, powerpoints etc. Above is the satellite map of Scotland.

The web page is "Google Earth" and you just need to download their free software. It is amazing - you can check out your hometown , zoom into 3D maps, check where roads/buildings etc. .. all in beautiful colour. Best thing of all .. it's free!

Please pray for pastor Abe. He had his operation two weeks ago and should be well on his way to recovery. But over the last week he has hardly been able to eat, sleep or drink. We had to re-admit him to hospital because he is so weak. There is something not quite right and I feel there is a problem in his stomach. He has no energy - even to speak or smile (see picture) Financially, it is very difficult. Between Abe's family, us and any help we can find, we have spent almost 900 pounds so far for his medical bills.

Please pray for Abe, his wife Gemma and hi two boys Angel & Renz (who are running crazily about my house as I speak with their best friends Lydia, Joanah & Josiah) In fact, I'll take a picture. Wait .. SNAP ... there you go ...oh man , where did Angel go? Never mind! Do these four look as though they know something we don't? MMMmmmm .... How's a man meant to write a blog with all these 'wains' flying about?!


Fathers day is fast approaching here in the Philippines and it is a BIG day! I came across this funny story:



There was a woman who was pregnant with twins, and shortly before they were due, she had an accident and went into a coma. Her husband was away on business, and unable to be reached. While in the coma, she gave birth to her twins, and the only person around to name her children was her brother.

When the mother came out of her coma to find she had given birth and that her brother had named the twins, she became very worried, because he wasn't a very bright guy. She was sure he had named them something absurd or stupid.

When she saw her brother she asked him about the twins.

He said, "The first one was a girl."

The mother: "What did you name her?!?"

Brother: "Denise!"

The Mum: "Oh, wow, that's not bad! What about the second one?"

Brother: "The second one was a boy."

The Mum: "Oh, and what did you name him?"

Brother: "Denephew."

One last laugh for you:
