5 Years exactly

Went for a fabulous early morning walk around Port Vila today.  And I have just been reflecting on the fact that it is exactly 5 years ago today that I went for my customary gentle 6 km run on a chilly, foggy, drizzly Mount Barker evening and ... broke my leg!  Ouch!

I sure do appreciate the fact that I can still get around, maybe not as quickly as before, but at least I can get around!  Jon

Something to celebrate!

There were at least two special events worth celebrating last week ...

After seven weeks, we have just taken the cast off Joel’s right arm (which got the greenstick fracture at Easter Camp).  He has been very patient and accepting of the limitations it brought – no swimming or climbing trees etc, but now there are no more excuses for not being able to write his school work!   At this stage it seems that the fracture has healed well.

Having a free right arm also meant that Joel could join Ben and 5 other mates in a celebratory round of mini-golf at a local resort. Earlier this year we put a challenge to all these boys that if they could learn and repeat the whole of Proverbs chapter 3 (by memory), then we would shout them to a game of mini-golf.  35 verses all up – no mean feat.  But they all did an outstanding job!  Well done boys!
