Yesterday afternoon Nick had to attend a funeral where he was accompanying Tammy on one of their songs (this song will be going on to Tammy’s next album, which they are hard at work on with weekly practices). The Bishop led the service and apparently it was shockingly awful. He quoted from the Book of Wisdom, which is an apocryphal book (that means it didn’t get into the Bible), quoting it as the Word of God, and then he even misapplied the text, as well as stating that people become Christians when they are baptized (which is not what the Bible teaches).
Last night we had dinner at the house of two of our members. The hostess considers herself a poor cook, but we had a very good meal of cottage pie, peas, chicken wings, rice, and chow-chows, which we thought were glassy potatoes at first, but they had a pear-like texture and had a subtle pear flavour. Very good. After supper we pulled out the instruments, and I was given some pointers on the mandolin which will greatly improve my playing if I practice them. It was fun to jam all together – two guitars and two mandolins, then our host took up his banjo, and his wife switched to piano accordion, after which he changed to the fiddle.
At Good News Club this morning, there were about four kids at 10 am, but more came in just
after 10. Not many kids have started coming after the Holiday Club, we still just have the regular core plus maybe two others. Nick did the lesson – he is doing a series on the Lord’s Prayer, so will be doing the talks for the next six weeks still. Yesterday was the first part, “Our Father in heaven”, and he pointed out that God isn’t everyone’s Father, and that if He’s not your Father, then your father is the devil! I think this was quite startling to the children. For the games, we had some twister going, soccer outside, and drawing for the less-energetic. The girls just love playing twister. We played it again later in the lounge, for the boys’ benefit. Nick wrote L and R on the their hands and feet!
