When our daughters were small probably about aged 7 & 11 they were riding their bicycles in the street, in Aliwal North, when we lived there. The youngest one fell off the bicycle and the stick that she had in her hand, stuck her in the one eye, right next to the tear duct, the stick actually made a hole into her nose. We rushed her to the local doctor, who examined the wound and said that he was not prepared to treat her as it was too deep. He said that we must take her to a specialist. The nearest specialist was about 200Km.
Awesome Experience

I just had an awesome experience. I recently went to a cancer survivors conference where a man told his mind boggling life experience. It touched my hart and I wanted to share it with friends on facebook. I wrote a short summary this morning, but when I clicked on the share button to share it on the wall I got some sort of error and my connection to the internet was gone. A few hours later I tried again and the same thing happened again. I just could not believe that the same thing can happen with exactly the same request a few hours apart. I sensed that satan must have a hand in this to try and prevent me from sharing the story with my friends. I prayed and asked the Lord to break the hold of satan in Jesus name, so that "share" would work, when I click again. I clicked again and it worked. Praise God! The devil is trying to prevent us in any way he can to spread the good news about the Lord. But I am sure you are wondering what the story was about?

Yesterday I saw an old man who is in his last days with cancer. His face was yellow and he could not walk anymore. Some cancers cause a person's skin color to change to yellow. The more yellow the closer to your last day here on earth.
Seeing him made me think of where I am and what I am doing here on earth. My thoughts ranged from I must live a full live; do all the things I still want to do as quickly as possible; it might be my turn to die tomorrow. The obvious qualification for you to be able to do all you want every day while on earth is time. We just do not have enough and there are just to many things. On the other hand if I am going to die in any case, why stress about what I am going to do with the time I'm here.
Can the iron float today?

Many years ago a group of young men went down to the Jordan River to cut down trees so that they can build a bigger house. As one was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. The end of the world? No! Surely it is not to difficult to replace an axe. But the young man was horrified. Why was he so upset? It was a borrowed ax.
Who would be concerned about this young man's dilemma? God was and He made the iron float! The axe head was retrieved and the young man went home in peace.
Is God concerned about our trivial dilemmas today? Yes, just as He was then.
Let me tell you what happened on the 14th of March this year.
Yippee I sleep!

I struggled for years to sleep. The typical story of thinking, thinking, more thinking and then thinking about how not to think! On good nights I would get 4 hours sleep. Otherwise it would be 2 or less. I remember the awefull feeling when I could hear the alarm and realised that I did not sleep at all. By 12am I would be very tired.
Then finally it came to an end during December 2008 and now I am sleeping like a dream.

It is just normal to be
