Is it really morning?

Good morning Vietnam, South Africa or wherever you are reading this..

David vomited last night (I guess it's only a matter of time before I fall prey to the dreaded stomach bug doing the rounds) at supper time. All over Gareth and the chair. Gareth panicked and had to go and have a three hour shower (ok, maybe it was only 15 minutes..) whilst the cell group looked on at the chair and went green with the smell (no parents among them)..

Every door and window open, the chair went outside and David got cleaned up and went to bed.. So I was the only one left smelling like vomit but didn't realise this for another 20 minutes...

He slept fine until 2.30am when I heard the crying.... It started off as the whiny cry. I got him some water thinking "maybe " he is dehrdrated.. he drank about 15 mls but that wasn't it. He just wanted comfort and because he's sick and gave it to him. He ended up in my bed which meant no sleep for me until about 5am. Up at 730 and now I'm in work..

I left David sleeping of course...... :-)

On a positive note, I got to play table tennis and I am getting better (we bought a table about 2 weeks ago but I hadn't played in a week because Gareth did his back in).

Cell group bible study was also good. We are studying Romans and the moment, we are up to chpt 2. All about God judging without partiality. We all have a secret life and God sees that and will reward us accordingly.. If we spend it seeking him and doing his will he will reward us with immortality, honour and glory. The flipside is that if we don't, then we get what we deserve - a life apart from him which is exactly what we looked for in life. Only thing is, a life without God is a life without any of the good things he made, a life of despair and pain and trouble (sounds like hell? Well, it is..)

The other thing we talked about was whether people think and talk badly about God because of the example that christians and the church sets. There isn't much I can do about the church in most ways (e.g. the anglican church, the baptist church) but I can live in such a way that I don't cause people to look down on God. I want God to work in me though, otherwise it's just an external show that people can see through a mile away..

Another day of work calls... I have got plates to do a post-test analysis of. That means I cut them up and look at the insides and work out how they broke during the explosions..
