Happy New Year
I hope 2005 is a good year for you. It feels a strange start to the New Year, we had a great time as a family down in Dorset (some pictures may appear at the side), reflecting on what has been a very good year. At the same time I'm feeling overwhelmed by the pictures and reports from South East Asia. They're made personal by the fact that a member of our small group was on a world trip and staying on the coast in Thailand over Christmas. Her hotel was destroyed by the Tsunami, fortunately she was heading inland to the Phuket Christian Centre for a morning service. Emma and her friend Claire have since abandoned their holiday and got involved in helping with relief work. They were featured on the ITN news special last night and are intending to stay out and help with the redevelopment of the area. For all of our questions about where is God in all of this, it's good to know his people (as well as many others) are getting involved in making a real difference.
