Religion

Quote from our pastor Weston today, at Elim Church, Thames:

"I was brought up religiously, but it did not make me godly.... "Religion, man-made religion, is evil... "I needed to be saved".

A powerful statement.

Sunday at home.

Sunday afternoon - The boys lazy playing Monopoly, me doing light stuff on the computer, and Elena the only one really working - preparing the garden shed for new guests.

Antimicrobial handbook

Eastern Beach, Auckland

Four Years in New Zealand, today! We had to pick up the big boys in Auckland, from a football training camp, at Eastern Beach. We went a little earlier and took a walk on the beach. I was a little bit reminded of the day when we arrived in Piha, 2010, by the weather and also the scenery of this Auckland shore. 
Thanks people for making us feel at home, more than ever!  You accept weirdness and imperfection easier than what we are used to in Germany and Spain. You see the good things and put your focus there.
