HAND IN HAND

1. When I consider God's design, raging seas and searing sand,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe when all creation joins in praise, hand in hand, hand in hand.
All creation joins in praise, hand in hand.

2. When I consider Jesus Christ, beaten, killed and broken man,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe when broken people come to him, hand in hand, hand in hand. Broken people come to him,
hand in hand.

3. When I consider human kind, feuding tribes from every land,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when black and white return to Christ, hand in hand, hand in hand.
Black and white return to Christ, hand in hand.

4. When I consider God's own church, sinful sort of saintly band,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when sinners come to share God's meal, hand in hand, hand in hand.
Sinners come to share God's meal,
hand in hand.

ALWS 5/10/23

To say I've been inactive on my website is a serious understatement! I've written nothing here since early 2021. 

So, does this mean the world has stopped for us, that nothing is happening?
A major event for us in 2022 was moving house in October. We had been in Modbury Heights since July 1993.Now we're back in Klemzig.

In May we travelled to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, seeing work supported by Australian Lutheran World Service. Dorothy and I are Ambassadors for the ALWS programme, Lives You Touch. We are encouraging people to leave money in their will for the work of ALWS. We committed to leave a third of our will many years ago and hope many others can touch lives in this way.
Since then we have visited Box Hill & Loxton with Jonathan & Julie Krause as part of the Asante presentations, promoting the cause of ALWS. Still to come this year are Asante events in Toowoomba & Rochedale (Nov 26 & 27) and Perth (Dec 10)

Looking forward to seeing many people on these occasions.
