Ahem

Do forgive the hacking cough. According to a reliable source I qualify for Swine Flu and passed the test and need looking after and so would Lily if she were not under 5 and therefore ineligible.

Do you know what I should be concerning myself with? I have a preaching gig on Sunday evening, and it is about the Suffering Church (i.e. places in the world where it is very dangerous to practice Christianity) and am telling a bit about North Korea. I haven’t been there. There are no songs about it. It is not in the Bible. And it is all Top Secret, but luckily there is a fair bit on the web. Excuse me while I try not to feel sorry for myself any longer and look up some more google images and Bible verses.

And pray for me – I could do with my energy back, or else I may be forced to enact a dramatic The Preacher has been Gagged and the Sermon will be Passed round Secretly Under the Chairs on Rice Paper kind of stunt, which is not really The Thing.  I don’t even have rice paper.
