Bekam heute ein email, ueber das ich mich ausserordentlich gefreut habe. Ich zitiere hier etwas “Deine Geschichten fangen uebrigens spannend an, finden dann aber keine Fortsetzung. Ist das die schlaue Absicht, die Leser zu animieren, sich als Mitglieder oder aehnliches anzumelden?”

Natuerlich, das genau ist es!

Hat jemand dazu etwas weiteres zu sagen?

Letzte Tag im Juni (30.06.07)

Sie kennen sicher McDonald’s . Wenn man ein gewisses Alter erreicht hat und dort etwas kauft, kriegt man Tea oder Kaffee umsonst. Ist das nicht etwas?

Gestern kaufte ich dort etwas und mein Auge fiel auf das Papier mit Reklame, das immer auf den Tabletten ist. Dort stand natuerlich in english WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. Auf gut deutsch, wir haben nichts zu verschweigen. Ja, es ist gut, wenn wir nichts zu verschweigen haben. Aber die meisten von uns haben etwas zu verschweigen.

David in der Bibel hatte auch etwas zu verschweigen. Er sagt das selbst in Psalm 32 in der Bibel.

Es handelt sich um Suende.

Lesen Sie bitte Vers 3 in Psalm 32.

Und dann Vers 5 im selben Psalm.

Werde wohl demnaechst darueber ein Kurzgeschichte schreiben.

26.06.2007 Prayer Request

During 1980 we did more studies at the Bible College of NZ in Henderson. After that until 2005 we worked with the UMM (United Maori Mission) in Kaikohe. During that time we also had a committee organizing Training Days for BIS (Bible in Schools) Teachers mainly in Kerikeri. Amongst the Teachers we had S. Comrie from the Churches Education Commission. H. Dickie from Children’s Bible Ministries and A. Ramsbottom from Scripture Union. At Eastertime and for Christmas I ordered sometimes 3 000 special leaflets from the Bible Society to take to the different Schools. Used to teach Religious Education at Kaikohe West School, Ohaeawai, Moerewa, Rawene.

The Bible Teachers who went into the Schools had stories to tell, experiences with the children. Even at that time I thought they need to be collected and put into a book. I am now in contact with the convenors from the Churches Education Commission nationwide asking them to help collect stories for the book. But I know that this will not come off the ground without prayer. If the Lord leads you to pray for this undertaking please pray. Many thanks. wd

Most of the time I did my Bible In Schools work on the Motorbike, but it was a bigger machine.

Read this today about disappointment. Hope you are laughing about it as I did.

My friend picked up a self-help video, ” How to Handle Disappointment”. When she got it home, the box was empty.

I picked up a book today and I read,” The only constant in modern society is change. Get used to it.” Unknown

Yes, I have to admit that it took me some time to get used to it. But we have to for several reasons.

However, I am glad that I am a Christian and that I believe in the God who is never changing. The Bible says in Malachi 3:6, “I the Lord do not change.”

What a blessing to have a God like that. We change, the weather changes, but the promises of the Bible never change. Halleluja.

Today I was approached by a greenpeace man I had met quite some time ago. He assured me that he remembered what I told him then. When I was leaving I asked him if he carried a leaflet with some info about greenpeace. He gave me a greenpeace card. That prompted me to give him my businesss card. On the back of the greenpeace card it says”Saving the environment begins at home.” Under that 8 points how to do it were listed. Then I remembered that I told him last time I saw him to be selfish for once and think about himself and not so much about saving the planet.

Acts 4,12 says:” Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

Last Day in May-rhymes

On 23.3.07 I mentioned a computercourse consisting of 9 modules ( Level 2) I was working on and a short story competition.

Well, I finished the course long ago and I am waiting for the certificate. Takes them 3 months to issue the certificate.

As for the short story competition I think I did quite well according to the judges. But guess who got first? A professional writer with credentials, has written a book etc.
