On Wednesday I visited the hospital for the last time to meet with a surgeon. The news came back that the surgery from January has in fact healed and is doing well. No further surgery is needed at this time! The news is, as you can imagine, what I had hoped for. So nearly 6 months to the day the All Clear has been sounded. A rough ride that afforded me more sight of myself than I had wanted (in more than one way). I want to thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts throughout this little journey. I have learnt more of myself, this world, and the inside world of hospitals and their staff (which has on the whole earned my great respect). |

 Well, what a few weeks. I’m only just beginning to catch my breath. After spending some relatively quiet time in England with my family my life burst into activity once more as I criss-crossed the western part of this world we live in.
My first stop was un-announced. I flew from England into Pennsylvania with only a couple of people knowing that I was even coming. My covert plans all came together and on the 24th April I managed to get the words out of my mouth that I had been rehearsing for a good many weeks; I proposed to Liz, and she said yes! Liz was caught completely be surprise. Even after the trail of roses, the hand-written note etc. she didn’t work out what was going on. It wasn’t until I stepped out of the shadows, and after she recovered from the shock, that her eyes hinted at the beginning of some recognition. It was a very special moment for us both and sets the way for many more to come in the future.
After a few days in Pennsylvania I flew on to Maui where I spent a week with old friends and colleagues. I’ve been released from my current position at YWAM Maui, which allows me to base my self out of Pennsylvania (for hopefully obvious reasons!). It was so good to be reconnected to friends who in the last few years I’ve become very close too.
And now once more I am back in Pennsylvania. Liz and I are making arrangements to plan the next part of our lives as I type. I look forward to spending my summer here in Washington, PA and seeing the opportunities unfold.
Onwards and upwards friends, as always! |

I've just started a new blog that will run in addition to smokeygecko.com. It will be a place where I will share ideas on what I am reading (through participation of the New Reformers Discipleship School from YWAM Maui that I am involved in) in the interest to gather other opinions and discuss topics between readers.
The blog will not replace in any way any function of this site. All my news and activity etc. will still be published here.
So if you're interested in what I'm studying (a couple of books by Francis Schaeffer at present) then come on over and take a look. |

It has been three months since my surgery and I’m pleased to say that things are doing better. Two weeks after the surgery I was cleared to fly and made my way back to England. This trip had been planned for some time but it didn’t look likely after the operation that I would be strong enough to make it. However, God is good and I was in a stable and fit enough state to make the 30+ hour journey back to Bath, England and to my parents’ house. |
