Build Our House - with Paul Grant

I am really looking forward to the next Build our House.
One of the things that is happening is Ps Paul Grant will be coming for half an hour.

Paul has a real special place in my heart.
I first met him in 1988 I think. He was the new Principal at Garden City School of Ministries.

We have journeyed together since then in various capacities and relationship facets. One really special season was when I had Paul for a theology lecturer for 2 years (4 semesters, 4 subjects).

Here are some excerpts from a recent email from Paul. He did this poem called "OUR 2008 REAR-VISION MIRROR - Pondering and Wondering - Reflecting and Revising" about him and Dulcie.

.............................

Our ages at eighty two and seventy eight
Were stepping stones taking us forward,
Ageing is not a problem we choose to debate
But rather a process taking us onward

..............................

Ageing has released for me
New ways of knowing and thinking,
Two thousand and eight was a treasury
Of prayer, reading, and poetry

Perhaps our most significant item
Under God’s unfailing care,
Has been a particular gem
Joint Bible reading and prayer

Nearing fifty nine years of marriage
Each day’s devotions are a lubricant,
Sustained by hope and courage,
An ornament and testament
.......................

Wow!!

See you at 8.55am on Saturday 31 January 2009.
