Back in June 2007 I asked you to pray for my wife’s sister who had just been diagnosed with lung cancer. After treatment and a lot of prayer Carina was told in around May last year that she was clear of the cancer.
2009 hasn’t started so well with news that cancer is now affecting other areas of her body.
Please pray for Carina, for her doctors and for her family. Please pray that I can provide support for Pauline, Emily and James as we face this battle as Carina’s sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew.

Have you ever heard the joke about the guy applying for a job as a handyman? He has no handyman skills but reckons he should still get the position. He thinks that he’s ‘handy’ because he lives just around the corner. I know how he feels.
On Saturday I reminded myself why I don’t paint all that often. I had just a couple of sections under our eaves to paint and they look OK now but I’ve seen other people paint with absolute ease and without ending up the same colour as the surface they’re trying to cover. It looks like such a simple task when other people do it.
I reckon there’s a handyman gene that I missed out on when I was born. There are some simple tasks that I can carry out reasonably well but others that just leave me scratching my head.
Of course you may be one of those people who can do all those little jobs around the house and nothing’s too much trouble. Let me just say I don’t hate you, I don’t envy you … but I do have a list of things around my place that you’re welcome to tackle.
