GOD’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

God’ s excellent adventure — best story in the world!
God’ s excellent adventure — which chapter will we tell?

1. Little David was a shepherd.
He became a mighty king.
When his people were in trouble,
killed Goliath with his sling.

2. Little Isaac, angel promised
— Sarah laughed at what he said.
She was old and didn’t know that
Israel was up ahead.

3. Little Moses, hidden baby,
sister Miriam was there.
Pharaoh’s daughter saw him crying
— she had love enough to spare.

4. Little Samuel, son of Hannah,
in the temple in the night,
got a message to deliver
— could he speak it in the light?

5. Little Jesus in the manger,
shepherds heard the angels sing.
More important than the Caesar:
he’s the greatest, he’s the king!

Dorothy & I had quite a bit of contact with Victor Harbor Lutheran congregation when Detlev Vosgerau was pastor there. We were going to lead the music for a service where the local Lutheran school was involved. The theme Detlev came up with led to this song — another way of relating some of the Bible’ s story, some of salvation history.

Back from a Break

During September, Dorothy and I travelled
to Norway and the UK.

After long flights
- Adelaide to Melbourne,
Melb to Dubai (14 hrs),
Dubai to Oslo (7 hrs) -
we did Norway in a nutshell
from Oslo to Bergen, then
the Hurtigruten Cruise
up the west coast of Norway
and back again.
Then an 8 day Trafalgar tour
and 4 days in London,
before taking the direct flight
(16 3/4 hrs)
from Heathrow to Perth.
We're a bit tired (!) but we'll still be a part
of the LWA convention and the
General Convention .

See some of you there.
