Had a great night at church last night. Our special Easter Sunday service went off with a real bang. The guys all did brilliant and thankfully all the techincal stuff went real smooth.

Our 40days of prayer have ended with the culmination of Lent at the weekend and while it felt great to eat sweet stuff again more than anything i felt inside i was going to spontaneously combust with a sense of the victory of Jesus. It was as if it had been building within me over the last 40 days and just had to come out!! It is a strange time though - this almost tangible sense of God i feel within me at this time is being balanced with the questions and sadness surrounding my aunty Jill's death. I know God is in control but trusting Him is difficult especially as you watch people that mean so much to you experience such severe pain and loss. I have not a clue about grief i have learned, words fail and cliches are the worst ever. Pray for Philip, lisa, amy, debbie and philly - that they may find some comfort and somehow come to know that God enters and is found in broken places.
