Managing The Re-entry

February 16, 2010

Jet lag, when you travel from the UK to the USA, is not so bad as the other way around, of that I am sure!  On arrival stateside, for a few days you feel almost invincible.  Although a little tired in the evening, you force yourself not to go to bed too early.  Then, around [...]

Who Will Go To The Native Americans?

February 12, 2010

This is the burning question on my mind following a conversation with a woman who sat next to me on one of my flights here in the USA. I know it won’t be me. My place in the body of Christ is firmly marked out for me back at home in Jubilee London. But I [...]

St. Joseph, Jeff Gates, and Micah Fries

February 5, 2010

I have had a great time here in St. Joseph, Missouri.  I traveled down with two men who I now call dear friends, Jeff Gates, the pastor at Living Hope Church, St. Joseph and Ben Roed, who with his lovely wife Peggy, are serving in Living Hope and are being well trained by Jeff. It [...]

My Trip To The USA

January 28, 2010

This weekend I embark on a two-week trip on the other side of what we affectionately call “The Pond.” I would value your prayers and look forward to meeting some of you. In some ways I wish I could stay longer and make it to more places, but this is the longest I would want [...]

Travelling Again

July 12, 2009

It’s the time of year when I travel a lot. Perhaps you or someone you know are in the same boat or rather the same plane. Everyone is trying to fit in their meetings before the summer break. Once more I find myself sitting in the familiar Giraffe restaurant at Heathrow reflecting on what it [...]

NWA08 – Video On The Road to Pwllheli in North Wales

April 7, 2008

Lambs, snow, mountains, and streams. It sure beats sitting nose-to-bumper in London traffic! This was a truly awesome journey, which I made to the accompaniment of Handel’s Messiah. Somehow the music seemed suitably grand and majestic for the scenery. Amazingly, I had my first sighting of sheep at the very same moment that “Behold the [...]

VIDEO – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

February 27, 2008

Steven Spielberg ought not to be afraid. With my video skills, I’m no threat to him, I know. But, here is some video we took at our favorite Disney park – previously known as MGM Studios.

VIDEO – Disney’s Epcot

February 25, 2008

I’m still struggling with the transition to real life and the UK time zone. Two-week holidays seem to disorientate me a bit, but I’m certainly not expecting any sympathy, nor do I deserve any! I will stop annoying you with details of our amazing time soon. But at least as I share this video, you [...]

Home Again!

February 19, 2008

We’re home again! The reunion was sweet, although the three of us are rather tired. I worked today, while both Henry and Tamasin spent some time sleeping. Unfortunately, none of us slept a wink on the plane! This was the longest I’ve been away from my dear wife, and the longest I have been in [...]

Magic Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, and Downtown Disney

February 18, 2008

On Thursday of last week we went to Magic Kingdom and then to Downtown Disney. Magic Kingdom was the first theme park. It’s amazing in its architecture and totally unique. But to be honest, we felt it was showing its age a little. It IS a magical world. It IS an amazing sight. But on [...]

Visiting Metro Life Church of Orlando

February 17, 2008

Today I visited Metro Life Church in Orlando, which is part of Sovereign Grace Ministries. This is the home church of blogger, Jesse Phillips, and is led by Danny Jones, Senior Pastor, who is a part of SGM’s apostolic team. The venue was very nice, and as the worship began I felt very comfortable, having [...]

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

February 16, 2008

Yes, it really is true that we managed to take all the above photos during a single day at the Animal Kingdom this week. Back on Wednesday, which seems an age away now, we spent a fantastic day on the wilder side of Disney. Actually, we got there closer to lunch time than opening time. [...]

Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Previously MGM)

February 14, 2008

On Tuesday we visited Disney’s answer to Universal Studios. It’s not as big as its rival, but has lots of rides and shows. Fantasmia lived up to its reputation at the end of the day. The Tower of Terror set a mildly horror-based scene which was an irritating distraction to the real basis of the [...]

Disney’s EPCOT

February 12, 2008

After a quieter day when we went back to Islands of Adventure to revisit some rides we especially liked, we moved to the Pop Century Hotel at Disney. One major advantage of being here at this time of year is that we were able to do almost everything we wanted to do at EPCOT despite [...]

Sea World and Mardi Gras

February 10, 2008

Saturday was Sea World day and the Mardi Gras. Tamasin described it as follows in her diary: Today we went to Sea World. Sea World is joined up with Discovery Cove (the place with the dolphins). Sea World was really cool. They had a roller coaster (it was easy but fun) and a water ride. [...]
