Our Italian scholar is working very hard and has long hours. We are praying for her.
We are having several short-term guests this month. We had one a couple of weeks ago. We have another coming in this weekend, and then one here for Holy Week.
People are starting to sign up for the weekend retreat, 24-25 April. I think we'll have a good little group. I'm spending time getting ready for it now, reading back through Letters to Malcolm, outlining, seeking out key biblical themes. I speak at the first C. S. Lewis Soc. meeting for the Trinity term at the end of April. I'm thinking about changing from the Queen of Drum to Letters to Malcolm - something of a debrief of the retreat - for economy's sake. One of the associate professors at Wycliffe Hall is trying to help advertise for the retreat. That's cool.
We keep meeting new people. At church, this past Sunday evening, we met a man who, with his wife, has moved here from Jerusalem. He was on the staff at the Garden Tomb; my old stomping ground. That was fun. I've also met a man doing graduate study at Wycliffe Hall who is here with his wife for a year, not knowing what they are going to do next. Sounds like we have something in common. We'll be meeting with them for tea and prayer soon (the British way! :-)
We are encouraged that our new grandbaby is sleeping well! It means our daughter-in-law has less stress. Praying this is a strong trend.
I'm taking Sheila over to Burford today, "The Gateway to the Cottswolds;" it's about 25 min. away. The sun is supposed to be out and the temps around 50, so we can't pass that up.
We have some friends back home facing serious health issues; our hearts go out to them and our prayers as well.
Back with you soon.
David
