EASTER.

Glad to be home for a while over Easter to spend some time with my family, and at church, before heading back out to the Third Day REVELATION tour. We had two services at church on Good Friday, and then on Saturday Gill and I headed down to West Wales for the funeral of Lewis Eynon, my mother's cousin. Lewis was the father of the family farm in Llanboidy, his funeral was a real tribute to him-with 18 family cars in the funeral convoy,350 people in church, and nearly as many local men outside to pay their respects. Both as a child and as an adult I've had many trips to 'Bryn Awel' and since Gill and I have had our caravan on the Gower peninsular we've made a habit of popping in to see Lewis, his wife Doreen and whichever of their children and grandchildren might be around. Their son Celt, soon to be married, now takes over the farm. Here's a picture of Lewis and Doreen with my mum and dad and myself, from a few years ago:

Gill and I rushed back to Cardiff so that Bethan and I could go to the Millennium Stadium and watch Cardiff Blues beat Toulouse in the quarter-finals of the Heineken European Rugby Cup, and then Gill and I went to a birthday party at church. All very hectic, then 3 services at church on Easter Sunday plus a family lunch with my parents and Rachel, Chris and Hannah.  

At City Temple over the Easter Weekend we were joined by Richard Taylor, Director of Victory Outreach UK. It's difficult to do justice to Richard in a sentence or two- brilliant communicator, scholarly theologian, comedian, ex-offender, ex-addict, TV and media personality, but above all a man who is utterly committed to following Jesus. Two awesome sermons and a compelling testimony over the weekend.
