Family update

Wife - still suffers rheumatoid arthritis. Still wants more babies (at age 47!) Working with variuos mother and toddler groups at the church, both evangelistically and pastorally. Hopes to set up a playgroup as a business when she is finally convinced she will have no more of her own.

Child 1 (m) - nearly finished year in industry, starts university in autumn. Steady girlfriend, will probably marry her after college. Does PA and Sunday School at a New Frontiers church.

Child 2 (m) - doing 5 A levels. Will do a year in industry before going to university. Does Sunday School and youth work at our church.

Child 3 (m) - doing GCSEs. Will go on to do 4 or 5 A levels. Hopes to joing the RAF and train as a typhoon pilot. Plays acoustic and electric guitar in the youth band at our church.

Child 4 (f) - doing some early GCSE's, most next year. Wants to be an interior designer. Good at witnessing to the faith to her friends in word and deed.

Child 5 (f) - year 8 (British system). Bright, mathematician. No particular career ideas yet.

Child 6 (m) - year 5 (British system - ie one year left of primary school). I read him a chapter of the Bible for a bedtime story from the Message translation most nights.

Chid 7 (f) - has not expressed career aspirations yet, being under 2 years old. Delights the congregation at church by flar waving and dancing during worship. Cute now, but this will become annoying as she gets older. It will be hard to know when to step in.

But the main thing about them all is that they are passionate in their faith. What a privilege! 7 Christian children!
