I once read a caption in a book I borrowed from someone. The sideline note made a comment about how he perceived Christians to be sometimes. It read: “Many Christians are like a thunderstorm – thunder and lightning but no rain!” That made me think off course and made sure I do more than I say. Needless to say it’s a disciplined battle! But yesterday late we had quite a different type of storm.

Anyway …. no theology today. We had a huge storm yesterday and may goodness it had it all. Lightning ……. count to 2 ………. thunder ………. huge drops …….. even a few drops with hail …… wind and some damage due to the storm.

Our litchi orchard also felt the fierce hand of the storm. Although some branches broke off everywhere no houses were damaged in the process. Was a nice storm though – had more than 40 mm of rain in the process. And off course ….. the local Mozambicans are rejoicing – planting season can start.

Thank you again ……… 45 days before 2009 lies behind us ………… for your support and prayers and for all that is happening in Mozambique.
