A Saga of Love

I love love! It is really growing on me. Love deepens. Love gives. Love twists and turns and morphs, growing and expanding in depth, beauty and nature. Love can be thwarted. Love can shrivel and die. Love can be pressed into an unnatural mold. But when it is released to flourish then all who stand in its path are swept along by a current and overflowed by a saturation that goes beyond words. And so my words must stop to allow time and space for my love to grow even more. (translation: I am very happily married!)

Marie and I are enjoying hosting people. Last month we have had a couple of BBQs and dinner parties. We love entertaining people, sharing our lives and learning about the lives of others. A fun night recently was a Russian Party we held here.

A Saga of Love

To be in love is truly a glorious feeling. To be loved and to love teaches you so much about yourself. As I am bound to Marie in marriage, I share in the joys of being accepted and also being changed as the intertwining process makes our two lives more and more one life.

I guess that is enough philosophizing by one married barely two months! We both love being married and were so blessed to celebrate with friends and family both in USA and Australia. Thanks to so many people who have helped to cherish love with us.

WANNA BE A CHAMPION?

Become a champion hugger. A hug says:

• Hello

• Goodbye

• I'm sorry

• I forgive you

• I like you

• I care for you

• You're special to me

• I love you

- Not always, but often far better than any words can ever do.

SCHOOL DAYS

Our classroom is now the universe with a space shuttle off to one side – entry by secret code only. Yes we are studying space in Term 2. I need to start writing reports this week and would appreciate prayer prioritising all my commitments.

BEECROFT RUGBY

We lost 15-5 on the weekend. I played most of the game and am feeling my 40 years of age. I chatted with a guy from the opposition afterwards who was 42. He was Samoan and of course was Jerry Collin’s cousin! I thoroughly enjoy the interactions I have at rugby.

SCHOOL DAYS

After an idyllic week in NZ I am back into teaching 21 year two students. I love them. They are great to teach. Teaching is very tiring as well as time consuming outside of classroom hours. Please pray that I prepare well and that I prioritise my time and energy efficiently.

BEECROFT RUGBY

I want to play again this year. I wonder if my body will be up to it. I also want to entice as many friends as possible. If you play front row you even get a discount on your fees. But enjoying the camaraderie of rugby is one of the best ways one can enjoy a winter Saturday. Check it out now!
