It was Händel´s Messiah! What a coincidence.<BR/>The church is a wooden one from the 18th century, and I like sitting in it and feeling the warmth from the timber. It’s a long concert, Messiah, so I had a wonderful opportunity to let the different voices wash over me, and I had time to watch the many candles flicker on the ceiling high above, and think. I thought of my mother, who is struggling with her tough job as social worker; of my mother’s sister (my second mom as I call her, although she scoff it off), who is struggling with cancer; of their late father (my second father as I called him, which he was proud of) who meant so much –and still do- to the whole family; of my father who has meant so much in shaping me into what I am today… And I was thinking of other people that have touched me in different ways. Among them I was thinking of how you were all doing on the other side of the world. <BR/><BR/>I am so pleased to see David is out and about again, and hear that you have been able to gather up speed again in your studies and you work, though you see it towering up in front of you now.<BR/><BR/>I will not say “keep at it” for neither of you need to be tolled, but I would ask you to hum a little as you go through you days. It will lighten you. And Händel´s Messiah is a good peace to start with!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31155815.post-34398988384281131212007-11-21T14:20:00.000-08:002007-11-21T14:20:00.000-08:00Wow!!

What great photos of Immanuel and of us, but now you have to tell us who is who cause I could only figure out, you, myself, Dave Witt? and either Don or Darren Piers in the top one. Maybe Dan Tanis in the bow tie??<BR/><BR/>For the bottom one I think Christa, Jana, Carol, Crystal, Stacy, and the other Piers twin. I think John Veenstra but I don't remember him going to our church.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the memories. I feel the same way about Immanuel.<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you, Dave and your family.
