For a few weeks we have smelt gas in and around our home, but we put it down to utility works going on at the front of our house. However, after we returned from being away for the weekend the smell in the house was very strong.
This afternoon I contact the gas company and within 30 minutes someone was here. I always feel wary about calling in this sort of thing just in case its a false alarm. However, it turns out it is not a false alarm, it's actually a genuine problem. Gas is definitely leaking into the house via the mains. The gas is not at explosive levels but because we have a concrete floor the concern is that gas may have been accumulating under the house in the ground. The chances of that going up are slim, but if it did happen, well, it would make a big bang.
At the moment we are waiting to hear if will have to evacuate the house for a few days.
Please keep us in prayer. It has been just one thing after another recently, well, the past year it seems. I'll not even start on it all. Anyway, we'd appreciate prayer.
P.S. The man in charge is using divining rods to find the water mains. :)
P.S.S. Who ever it is, please stop asking, "What next?" :) |

Finding good Bible story books for children can be a difficult task. We have quite a few, but in some way they all seem to lack something. Some of them have dubious theology, others have peculiar images. Some skip over huge portions of Scripture in a single reading.
From what I have seen of Egermeier's Bible Story Book so far it lacks in none of those areas. The theology is sound and the pictures are very good.
I want to write a fuller review when I have looked at it in more detail, but I just wanted to go ahead and recommend it to you. If you would like your own copy you can click the link below and order it direct from ChristBook.com.

Egermeier's Bible Story Book, softcover
By Elsie Egermeier, Clive Uptton / Warner Press
Egermeier's Bible Story Book has sold nearly three million copies and continues to be America's favorite Bible story book. It has 312 stories that cover the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Younger children will sit spellbound as you read these stories to them. Older children who read for themselves will return to Egermeier's again and again as a trusted friend. Beauty and simplicity of style invites the meaning of the Bible into the child's heart and mind to become an active part of his life, and to never to be forgotten.
Parents, teachers, and ministers find Egermeier's Bible Story Book invaluable as an aid in the total development of children. It is free of doctrinal bias, and covers the entire Bible in chronological order, giving readers a better understanding of Bible history. You'll also find 112 full page, full color illustrations by well-known British artist Clive Uptton. Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Could you please remember in your prayers some special requests? Both are medical issues facing friends and family right now:
1. Amy - Amy is one of Carrie's cousins and is facing surgery tomorrow. Amy has medical conditions already and so I know she and the family would appreciate prayers and support right now.
2. Andy Sturm - Andy is a missionary-pastor in Carlisle. He had surgery last week and over the weekend it was clear he was facing some complications. He has been in a lot of pain and today they took him into the Accident and Emergency at hospital. I know he and his family would appreciate prayer while the doctors figure out how to help him.
