The problem with living in the countryside with 800m2 of ground is that you need to cut the grass regularly.

Looking forward to the weekend
We’re always looking forward to the weekend. Here are the plans:
Tonight, we have been invited by a family from the school. Their youngest daugher is in Jean-Baptiste’s class. We’ve been to their house several times, and they have come over, but never for a meal. We are looking forward to it.
Tomorrow is supposed to be off. But I am not sure I’ll have finished my sermon preparation before tonight. Jean-Baptiste is going to a birthday party down the road in the afternoon, so I might get some work done during that time. At the same time I need to start looking for a lawn mower. I may go in the morning.
I am preaching Sunday. this week, I will be speaking on the Christian’s relationship to the law. It should be interesting.
More car problems
The car went back to the garage this week. It was behaving strangely, and rather that wait until it was too late, I went to the garage on Tuesday to ask them what it could be. The mechanic diagnosed a problem with the crankshaft pulley, and showed me it was very worn. He didn’t have a car to lend me on Tuesday, so I asked if I could bring it back another day. I took it on Thursday, and they did the job in the day. It seems to be smoother to drive now. We’re just praying that we can now keep the car for a while when we can save money for the next one. Thanks to all those who prayed for us.
Our replacement car for the day
We hope to get our car back tonight.
A good Sunday-looking ahead to the coming week.
We had a good Sunday. I preached on Colossians 1:15-23, as part of a series on the gospel centred life. In the afternoon, we went for a long walk as a family. We almost got bitten by a dog walking passed a house where the “Gendarmes” recently removed a dog because he had bitten several people. Seems the landlord still hasn’t learned his lesson.
Feeling refreshed, it’s good to look forward to this week. I am leading leading a Bible study on Ruth 4 Tuesday afternoon, and the youth Group on Saturday, talking about the resurrection. I’d also like to start working on my presentations for the week of Deputation in April.
We’ve got the car back
I went to pick up the car this afternoon. I am not looking forward to see the bill. The computer system was down, which means I’ll go back next week to pay.
