It’s a Girl!

My wife and I just learned that our third child will be a girl. We already have a 3 year-old girl and a 1 year-old boy. The baby is due in June, at which point my wife and I will be officially outnumbered.
This will be my parents’ 10th grandchild (6 boys, 4 girls) and the [...]

We arrived in Tampa last night and made it to our homes. I would have posted last night, but my wife and kids (for some reason) took pretty much all of my time.
It was a very good trip by several measures. The Christians all seemed to be encouraged by our visits. The Spanish brethren described [...]
Worship in London
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Links to interesting stuff, London, travel on January 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We worshiped with the King’s Cross Church of Christ in London today. Thanks to their web site we found their meeting place without any trouble.
David Cambridge is the evangelist for the congregation. He and the brethren were very kind and welcoming. (For the first time in 2-1/2 weeks, 1) we had a worship service all [...]

Tomorrow we will spend a large part of the day at the British Museum. This museum houses many Bible-related artifacts, along with [...]

We finished up our last evening with the church in Dos Hermanas and got back to the hotel a little while ago. I presented a another archaeological lesson while my father taught on the question, “Why doesn’t God use people to do big things today as He did in the Bible?” (Part of the answer: [...]

We continue to meet every night with the church in the city of Dos Hermanas, a suburb of Sevilla. The weekly meetings are one hour long, so my father and I alternate the preaching. I will be speaking tonight (Thursday), but both of us will speak Friday evening since the weekend permits a longer service.
My [...]
Sunday report from Sevilla, Spain

We spoke for two churches in/around Sevilla today, for a total of 4 hours’ assembly. I was with both congregations two years ago, and it was good to renew friendships. Unfortunately, none of the churches in Spain has a full-time evangelist with which to work. The men in each congregation divide the responsibilities as they [...]
