Home From Assembly
A big day’s travel.
Thanks to Roger B for driving us home.
Sleep, then Sunday is coming.
When Sermon Illustrations Come To Life…
So, I mentioned yesterday that God’s will is known to be certain only in hindsight and volunteered that I was traveling to Brisbane and I’d know it was God’s will that I go there when I arrived.
I took this photo of Rundle Mall on my morning walk today intending to contrast it with, perhaps, the Queen St Mall in Brisbane.
Instead, I’ll include this photo of Melbourne. 
Our direct flight was cancelled and we’ve been transferred on a two-step flight with an arrival time five hours or so later than intended. We’ll go (hopefully, if it’s God’s will) directly from the airport to the opening service of assembly.
Such is the stuff sermon illustrations are made of.
By the way, this is why I travel qantas when I get the choice, replacement booking, food voucher, help in other ways. Their customer service is outstanding.
Anyway, later there’ll be photos from Brisbane.
I hope.
New Shoes
I bought my old pair of exercise shoes on August 3 last year.
They’ve probably done over 3000kms of mostly walking. Mount Gambier, various gyms, Adelaide, Sydney, Maryborough/Hervey Bay, Gold Coast, Melbourne.
They’re wearing and my feet are feeling it. I’ve probably let these go a little too long.
Time for a new pair. And I was even able to get my preferred colour this time.
Off to the gym again tomorrow.

A day of resting in thankfulness.
And a shield.
Saturday Flight
Thanks to Jeroen for taking me up for a couple of hours in a Cessna on Saturday afternoon.
It was wonderful.
