Summer is past..??

Dear me, what a summer I have had!!
Quite a crazy one, really.. I'm still recovering! I won't tell you all I have been up to in one go, it would be endless!!


One of the things I will say though is that we have been to Scotland! And we had great weather too!! It was probably the only hot week they have had in Scotland this year, and we had it for a looooong weekend in Inverness!

We were in Inverness for the Highland Bible Conference. It was at the church of Rev Maurice Robert, and Rev Malcolm Watts was preaching for the conference, as well as the Lord's Day! Needless to say, we have had a great time!!
The theme was God With Us, and the preaching was extremely helpful, as it usually is when Malcolm Watts is preaching! He worked out the theme in many different ways, but quite unusually as well.

After church we had some great fellowship with the other people! It turned out that they were used to having experience meetings when they are tegether. It was wonderful to hear how the Lord had been working in the lives of many people! It was great to talk together about the things of God, and to share one another's burdens as well.

The singing I had to get used to. In church is sounded awful, like cows, but when we were together in people's houses, and the speed got turned up a little, I really got to like the Scottisch psalms! Although I still prefer the Dutch Psalms... but that's just because I'm used to those, more than anything else... If only I could get the English to sing the English translations of the Dutch psalms...

I will have to go, as there is our own church meeting tonight, and I have to do some cooking before that... I do miss the highlands, though, and I can't wait to come back to them!! My heart is in the highlands, my heart is not here....
