Churchlife

Hi, long time no post on this website…

I came back from a trip to Holland the other day, and wanted to say to whoever was listening that the church in Holland is alive and well, and was so welcoming to us. The whole weekend went beautifully – it was for me pure enjoyment, just spending time with the wonderful holy ones in Almere.

As usual, there was plenty to eat, and – joy of joys – free coffee in the supermarket! (only in Holland!). Mark managed to buy some clogs, and I managed to have a game of squash – this in particular reminded me of the joy of being made humble in defeat. But I enjoyed it anyway 

Pictures to follow at some stage…  bye for now

I just loved this big tree and, well, hugged it. When Liane sent me the picture I realised that I was actually hugging “the King”. I guess it is quite often so: You think you are doing one thing, but in reality you are “hugging the King”…

Please imagine a picture of an old tree with the word “KING” cut in it’s bark (It wasn’t me!), left hand side: me, hugging the tree; right hand side: Nicole ( lost in her own thoughts, not even looking at me…). Download of the real picture was, unfortunatly, unsuccessfull…, sorry. May be another time…

Hallo, hallo,
who would have thought that I could make my way onto this webpage all on my own! There is hope!
Well, I am Silke, German ( what explains spelling mistakes, accidental rudeness, weird houmour,…) and if Anne is the church- nutter ( never heard of s u c h a thing before…) than I am the church- computer- nutter. But as everyone can see and read: there is even for such species hope!
I have seen a lot of things and places with my Lord during my looong life, but to be brought here, to be with my Brothers and Sisters in the church is the best thing my Lord gave me so far. I always wanted to know Him as close as possible ( isn’t that a nice thing to say….) and here I am, stuck with you and Him together, it makes me feel the most privileged person in the world!

Sometimes problems come in from all angles and when prolonged makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong, if not most things.  The Lord just loves pulling the rug out from under you, I wish I could say Ive learnt something that could help others that feel like that from time to time, but I have little.  It happens, its not nice, I wish it didn’t but I found that typing my feeling into a search engine provided me with the reasurance of other people feeling similar negative emotions.
I hope that someday I may have more to offer here, but for now, trying to find the Lord, and just saying his name if I can do no more is all I have.   » Read More

Every church has one so if your looking for the nut job on this web site, I am advertising, so come join me.

I pretty much asume that for some while I’ll be talking to myself on here, but longing for interaction, so until then I shall thank every one who has worked hard to create this forum, give your self a creme egg.  And prattle on for a while.

I am Anna and work with children, though I have none of my own.  Christ and I go a long way back and he has stayed with me even though I have not always wanted to stay with him.   » Read More
