Hi Norman and James. More good progress - brilliant. CCF was great today. We waved at your dot again and Guy prayed for you. Our motto for 2010 is Isaiah 43 vs 1b "Do not be afraid I will save you. I have called you by name - you are mine." Verse 2 says "When you pass through deep water I will be with you"
We have loads of messages from Lazerz and CCF kids to pass on and we will send them a few at a time this week.
Row well and rest well

Dibber, Nut, some words of wisdom from a fellow boating enthusiast..."Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing." Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat.
Keep pulling boys!!! Rhysie

hey you crazy fool! made it a little further so far. hope your mental state is holding out so far, looks like a long way to go. Hope things are going as expected anyway. Dick S. said he wants a picture of you tee-ing off the boat so he knows you didn't lose it yet. Hell I want a picture of that. Listen Fay stopped by for her check up, on the maxima of course, so don't worry your truck will have a dead battery and crappy brakes when you get back. Just kidding, good luck, I'll check in again.

Hi Peter, you're doing amazingly! Hang in there!
Josh 1:4-9
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
(KJV)
