hi couragetotremble,
i was very interested to read your blog posts about clarence high school. i too was a student there, although i think more recently than you - i joined in 1980 and left in 1998. it was especially lovely to see the photo you have put up of the old school auditorium. i only have a very vague memory of that building, but i do clearly remember i loved it!
Hello!
) It was good to look over your blog a little this morning. It is great to hear of you the rest of your group traveling to hear DA Carson. You made me miss all of you and thankful for the work that God continues in NZ. LW we will be able to return some day. Please pass on a greeting to both the Orrs and Aikens.
I hope that you remember me from our trip to the conference last year- Sept. (I was going to write “last fall”, but remembered it was your ’spring’!
In our church here in Minnesota we also sing both of the hymns that you referred to. They are both dear to me.
We have just sold our home and we are planning to move to NJ in June. Please keep our family and both churches in your prayers during this transitional time.
God Bless.
I remember too the discussion we had about accents and the kiwi one in particular :). I also remember the conference lectures on sanctification.
We have been praying for you in the church. May the Lord be with you and help you in all the aspects concerning your move to NJ.

hi, i came across your blog while i was researching more about the tragic canyoning accident which involved the students from Elim College. i went to church with one of the boys who passed away, anthony mulder.
i was drawn to your site because I, too, was an immigrant christian living in auckland for a while. i shared your same struggles of being a believer in a secular country.
my husband, son, and i moved from california in 2005 to dannemora because my husband was offered a teaching position at the university of auckland. we have since moved back to california but still have fond memories of our time in NZ.
i was wondering what church you are attending. we were members at the reformed church of bucklands beach, which is very close to maclean’s college. at the time there was a growing number of tamil speaking members. do you happen to know Prem Daniel and Hachila Kumar? we were in the same bible study group.
your weblog is very encouraging. your faith and wisdom and love for the Lord is apparent in your writing. thank you for inspiring me to love the Lord more fervently.
where do you find the energy and time to do all these?I want to eat the same food.PAN
What does GB feel about the National Anthem, as a prayer that acknowledges the paramount importance of salvation etc ?. I was encouraged in my faith in Him while reading about GB
Y
I have never spoken to him about this. I am sure he would be happy to know that the National Anthem is a reminder to our people of their need for salvation. He would have the highest respect for the anthem as any other good citizen of the country would. He is also the one who taught me to sing it correctly.
However I doubt that he would be happy to use it as a regular prayer for Christians. He is not one to use memorised prayers, but his prayers come from his heart out of a personal relationship with his Lord and Savior.
Another point to note is that the hymns that we sing in worship must be written by people who have a deep relationship with God and a deep knowledge of the Bible. The song writers in the Bible, such as David and Asaph, were godly theologians. Rabindranath Tagore, for all his wisdom and gifts was not one such.
