I have had time to read. Both for pleasure and for learning. I started to read
-“The hundred year old man who went out of the window and disappeared”, by Jonas Jonasson. A fantastic story about an old man leaving the home for elderly people just in time to avoid his anniversary party, and what happened to him after his escape. After that I read
-”People first- Building lives and passing on a legacy”, by Jack Lannom, a book about leadership, stressing the importance of being a right-finder instead of being a fault-finder. Next book I read was a book I have read before
-“The Contemporary Christian” by John Stott. This is a book about challenges a Christian will meet in the surrounding world, entering the twenty first century. I will come back to this book on this web-page later. The last book I read during the week was
-”Sky” by Deidre Purcell. A book just for pleasure in John Grisham-style.
Our cultural horizon has also been expanded by watching a movie. When we spoke to the cadets before we left they were surprised to understand that we have not seen any of the films about Narnia. To help us overcome this lack of knowledge in such an important field they borrowed us a DVD with the first Narnia-film by C.S. Lewis. It a was good film. They say there are more films about Narnia. We will ask the cadets when we come back.
During the week the message reached us that Ruth´s aunt Karin has passed away. She was born 1911 and died 2011 and she almost reached the age of 100. She was the longest living in a family with seven children. Four of the siblings became Salvation Army Officers and the three others were very active in different other churches. Aunt Karin used to play the organ at the Mission Church in Vallby in the southern parts of Sweden.
Now we are on our way home and we expect to reach the harbor in Riga on Monday morning to start a new week at the Regional Headquarters.
I wish you a blessed week!
