I hope you've had a wonderful 2006. If not, well, hang in there - a new year is just round the corner...
Sue and I and the family had a busy and eventful year, and we look back
with gratitude. Sue and Sophie went on a trip to Ghana to help build an
assembly hall for a school in a village, which was a wonderful (if
backbreaking!) experience for both of them.
Beckie had a year out before Uni and as well as some hard work, found
time to make a couple of trips, including one to Brazil to visit our
missionary friend Trina.
We recorded a new CD "iPray" earlier in the year, and have been busy on
the road, visiting several churches, and starting to get the songs "out
there".
A close friend had a life-threatening epileptic fit and heart attack in
the summer, but has made an amazing recovery, which is due to the power
of prayer, and to his amazing fighting spirit.
We had a mini drama with a fire in our house in November. Noone was
hurt, but for a small fire, the damage was fairly extensive, so we are
just getting back straight for Christmas!
Whatever the year has been like for you, we pray for a truly happy and
peaceful Christmas, and for excitement and fulfillment in 2007.

Regular newsletter readers who remember the early newsletters from
years back have given me a hard time for the lack of jokes in recent
versions. So, being the kind of person that can never remember jokes at
the best of times, I repeat below my two favourite Christmas jokes.
Good King Wenceslas went in to his local Pizza Hut.
"What would you like?" asked the waiter
"Oh, the usual", replied the King - "Deep pan, crisp and even"
Father Christmas and Mrs Christmas were arguing about the weather - Mrs
Christmas was insisting that it was going to rain, but Father Christmas
was sure it would snow. Father Christmas asked her: "How can you be so
sure?" "Oh, I asked Rudolf", she answered. "Ha! What does Rudolf know?"
Father Christmas retorted. "Now, then" said Mrs Christmas gently,
"Rudolf the red knows rain, dear!"
Wishing you and those you love a truly wonderful Christmas - thanks for reading.
Mike
