Just a couple of days, then holiday starts! Yes, the kids are free already, but daddy is still at work. Next week we’ll first attend the Agape European All Staff Conference in Nottingham, England.

We’re looking forward to the coming month, as … Lees verder Almost On the Road
Some days ago, Tomas made his first turn – and he liked it! He liked it so much that he keeps on turning until he gets stuck. We were there to tape his first attempts: see for yourself. Note how much his sisters are involved in it… Lees verder Tomas turning
Tomorrow is Sara’s birthday! The little girl turns four, and that is a milestone. Last Wednesday we took her and two friends to the Muiderslot, a lovely medieval castle in Muiden. It was hot but great to see the three little musketeers running around, paying attention to nothing at all but just having fun together. The Muiderslot has been restorated a while ago, and I … Lees verder Sara’s birthday

Another sermon outline: the topic of last Sunday was ‘Shema Israel’ – the jewish confession of faith. I think it is fascinating to see God reveal himself as ‘One’ or ‘The only one’ in a time where every people had its own god (see Deut 32:8).
