Yesterday was Ascension Day. What a perfect day it was! 28 C, sunny… We went swimming at a lake here in Almere. Very close and amazingly nice! Today I had to work… it was too hot to do much. My parents are going on holiday next Monday and they wanted to see Rosa and Sara [...]

This one of those weeks that I have to recover from the weekend during the working week… but it was worth it. The conference was very good. The main topic was ‘Faith, Hope & Love, cement between the bricks of the church’… a theme that I found rather fuzzy when I read it. It turned [...]

Weekend! Tomorrow we’ll go to the Betteld conference in Zelhem in the Achterhoek (‘the backcorner’) in the East of The Netherlands. We hope to meet some old friends and make new ones. I am looking forward to having a relaxed time. We’ll stay with our friends Addy and Rhodé (she’s also a far cousin [...]

I finally have a little time to update the weblog. I feel somewhat confused these days. A lot of things are going on, at more than one front. After the positive experience with the Open house in church, there seems to be something of a setback. Or maybe things start to develop right now. Positive [...]

Yesterday was the day: Open house in church. It was great! As I wrote Saturday, we were quite nervous if anyone would show up. Well, anyone did… and took a lot of his friends!

Helped my sister with her new computer today. The four of us went to see her, and then a friend came over also to help with the computer, and then my parents came over to see Rosa and Sara… so it was family reunion again. It is often so when we see my parents that [...]

Okay, one last post before I go to bed:

http://perik.zone5300.nl (in Dutch) is a hilarious site. Really worth a visit, I have no idea who are behind it and how often it is updated, but the stuff on it is just deeply funny.

I’ll quote one article:

I blogged about politics a while ago. As it is right now, there will be no ChristenUnie/SGP coalition. CDA/VVD chose to go with D66, a leftwing party. I don’t want to offend anybody, but D66 is really far from what I stand for. Especially on the ethical / medical issues and their view on society [...]

Well, another week went by. It was a busy week again, with much work to do. I still have a hard time keeping up with all the complex issues in the project. It goes up and down: one moment I think I start to be ‘on top of it’, the next moment I feel like [...]

I promised to find a link to the pictures of our youthcamp. Well, here it is:
