    In our last entry I referred to the fact that our faith "had taken a hit" when the Doctor told us that Bev's version of Motor Neurone Disease was the worst kind in terms of its outworking. Nonetheless we are fixed on the Lord. Job's test came through his wife when she told him to…read more

    I first need to apologise to those folk who regularly visit this blog in order to stay in touch with our journey. We have been away for a number of reasons and only now do we have an opportunity to bring our news up-to-date. Our blog entry (24) back on June 19th told of the death of Bev's…read more

    MIKE: Bev is having a great time with the trust and assurance that God is building into her heart - especially with the episode of Jesus in the boat in the storm (about which she wrote in the last episode. I am grateful for these insights she has because they reassure her and strengthen her…read more

    Capitulate = "cease to resist an opponent or an unwelcome demand, surrender, give in, yield, submit, succumb". Sometime I wonder if we (me in particular) haven't capitulated to this disease too readily? I wonder if I haven't believed the medical assessment too quickly?…read more

    Today we travel up to Bathurst for 10 days R & R. Friends of ours have a lovely two bedroom cabin which they have made available to us for some "alone time" in the midst of this journey. Beautiful views across to the Blue Mountains as well as an abundance of wild life are just two of…read more
