A Friend

November 12, 2007

I lost a friend a couple of days ago. Our friendship was uncomplicated…he knew me, I knew him. I enjoyed the time I spent with him and he enjoyed the time he spent with me. We met up two times a week, with a couple of other friends. Sometimes we chatted about family, his new … More A Friend

Friday…tonight we will have about 140 children attending our children’s programme and I’m puzzling more and more about how to impact these children for the gospel.

Spiritual Questions

October 23, 2007

I’ve had a request to post the questions I referred to in my last post. Here goes: Salvation Army Orders and Regulations for Soldiers, 1950, Chapter 3, Section 4. 1.

Redefinition
