My rockmelons are beginning to go beserk. More and more flowers are cropping up. Now there are several little bubba fruit on there (at least I think there are, they're so small!). All three plants are taking-off very satisfyingly.
This little guy sprang up just a few days after my snow pea seeds went in the ground. I'm pretty sure he's a bean, so some of the old beans must have dropped on the ground, and, voila!, I guess we'll have some beans as well as a dozen or so snow peas against the back fence.
Thank God for plants that grow, and ones that grow food, especially, I reckon. Jolly satisfying.
A handful of you Tassie readers might recognise this spot. Think back to the Club 5 Conference, 2000 and 2001 (right years??). It's Merroo, a convention centre just near Kurrajong.
We stayed at Merroo this weekend just gone for our church camp. We really enjoyed hanging out with people from church for those couple of days.
I think the weekend served to refine / hone a conviction of mine: that a church camp is a precious time in the calendar of a church, so it's crucial to use it to set the gospel before people in such a way that they not only are deepened in their understanding and faith, but also that they see more clearly the gospel's radical relevance to the humdrum, the whole of their lives, and the whole world.
Our evenings are also feeling the effects of a year that's begun:
- Kate and I have enjoyed being a bit more organised about our evenings recently, which I think is helping us both get stuff done and enjoy some more time hanging out.
- Kate's year is absolutely underway: Moore Women, writing Bible studies (she's leading one this year), looking after me and the kids ;), it's all gotta squeeze in somewhere! Seriously, pray that she can both keep putting so much into it all as well as getting so much out of it!
