Since 7th April, our e-mail account has become unconscious, possibly due to the parlous state of Tiscali's finances - we've paid them our bit!! - but they seem to be heading for receivership. So if you've had a bounce-back on "screaming.net", try us on davidmyerscough a.t rocketmail d.o.t c.o.m. (This in code to avoid spammer robots). Hopefully our old address will revive in due course.
Been fairly tired this week, not helped by tooth abcess, which has put me back on the same antibiotics that blew up my intestines a couple of months ago. Half dose this time, and so thankfully disturbance not so dramatic, with copious consumption of live yoghurt. I fear Elaine has found the abcess far more stressful than I - her empathy is too well informed.
Wonderful lines from a film ('Shall we Dance') we watched last night.
"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness"'
I'm thankful for you, my 'cloud of witnesses' - pray for continued strength for Elaine, my key witness.

ReplyDeleteDear Dave and Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to email for some time. Sorry it has taken me so long. Enoch and I were both shocked to hear your news and you are often in our thoughts. we have been praying for you, including at our local church and within a weekly bible study/prayer group I attend.
it is humbling to read your blog and we are really keen to share with others at CRBC in praying for you both: especially during week of 20th of April.
Monica was with us last week: we had a lovely week and she left on easter sunday for sydney. I was very emotional on sunday morning and the 3 of us prayed before Monica left. I was just filled with such a sense of God's faithfulness, healing and love.
A year ago, I remember being at the good Friday service at Cairns road. Enoch and I were both still struggling with the death of our baby Afua, still very broken and I was recovering from the shock of an ectopic pregnancy. I had surgery for this a week before Easter. I look at where we are now: and how much we have been blessed by God. I realise that He truly was with us in those very dark days and we have been richly blessed since then.
Please forgive me: I am not trying to draw any comparisons and my words may offer little comfort....
We will continue to pray for you and the blog is realy helpful in terms of parying about specific things.
We send you our love from autumn in Melbourne.
Shazia and Enoch
ps we return home in June.
