The Weekend Part One

Sarah and I went to a conference this weekend put on by CV, an Australian organization dedicated to promoting full time paid positions in gospel work. Sarah and I have always had this on the back burner, and this weekend was a great time to think about our situation and the possibilities.

The conference was held in an old mansion built by a governer of long ago in Victor Harbour, which is on the coast about an hour south of Adelaide.

This baby was real cute. I hope little coop will be even cuter.

The usual.

We hung out on the beach after the conference was over on Monday.

Here's Jonathan Broman, the pastor's son, looking absolutely incredible. I can't begin to espouse the depth of my respect for his afro.

Lyrics: The shepherd's farewell Hector Berlioz (19th century)

Thou must leave thy lowly dwelling, the humble crib, the stable bare,
Babe, all mortal babes excelling, content our earthly lot to share,
Loving father, loving mother, Shelter thee with tender care!

Blessed Jesus, we implore thee with humble love and holy fear,
In the land that lies before thee, forget not us who linger here!
May the Shepherd's lowly calling ever to thy heart be dear!

Blest are ye beyond all measure, thou happy father, mother mild!
Guard ye well your heav'nly treasure, the Prince of Peace, the Holy Child!
God go with you, God protect you, guide you safely though the wild!

(Text: L'enfance du Christ. Translated from French, Paul England)
