Evendays

We had a few visitors for the two evenings. The lessons were good. The small choral was real good. Thanks for your prayers.
Filled up the van on Tuesday. 21 gallons for $180.00. Yes, $8.57 a gallon. Talk about sticker shock… Glad I get 29 mpg. Wish I got better…

It was time for Tuesday night Bible Study yesterday in Geneva. It was also “neighborhood” night, where people who live in big apartment buildings were supposed to set up a table outside their main entrance and share a glass with other tenants. The Geneva church meets in an office building across from a residential area. [...]

Doubts: We were but 14 yesterday morning for our worship time. Jesus promised to be present, which still makes that reunion “extraordinary”, even though I struggle to believe it.
Assurance: In our Bible class, several of us were reading passages on “the Church is the body of Christ”. We then spent some time defining the different [...]

-Your comments on the biking post cracked me up. Sore rears and climbing hills outside of Châlet-à-Gobet (the highest point in Lausanne) and all. Come on over for a ride.
-Last night the mighty Manchester United beat the London club Chelsea to take the Champions’ cup, the European "Superbowl" of football (soccer). The final went to [...]

I have a new bike that I bought just before Christmas. I have had trouble putting the miles on it since Wife and I have been running much more than biking, and it has been hard to impossible to do the two, especially with the colder weather we’ve had this Spring. When it’s cold and [...]

Great things will be happening in Switzerland starting June 7 at 6 PM when the Swiss National Football Team (soccer) kicks off the European Cup Championship. This event happens every 4 years.

Today is “new webpage day”. With each seekers’ conference in Geneva, with the new flyer and the distributions that we do, we also prepare a new web page/site. Actually, I plan it, design it, write up the text and ask for suggestions. It’s not a bad process, and it allows me to learn something new [...]

It’s really none of my business, and I might should just keep my mouth shut, but when my parents got married on May 10, 1958 they had but 5 dollars in their pockets and an unopened box of Bisquick on their shelf. Dad had just started a job reading meters for Pacific Gas and Electric [...]

I’m reading through the Bible texts that refer to Pentecost. Yes, this coming Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. (Don’t miss it.) In Britain they call it Whit Sunday. In the USA, it’s just another shopping.
I went through my files to see what I’ve preached for Pentecost in previous years. (Not to preach them again, I [...]

May 1 was May Day, Ascension Day, and Wife’s B-day all wrapped into one. Plus we were at the Ascension retreat with 120 Christians in Ardèche, France. Wife got cake, kisses, cards and champagne, along with praise and hugs, from the whole group. She is much loved and held in high esteem.
We came home on [...]
