A month ago my iPAQ froze and eventually went blank. It just stopped working! It is only two years old but I began wondering if that was the full life span of a pocket PC. One full month I was not able to use it because I could not start it!
Month: August 2005

Vi er Guds medarbeidarar
Heilt frå eg var liten har eg hatt ei kjensle av Guds kall over livet mitt og i heile mitt vaksne liv har eg på min ringe måte tent Gud. Det er stor å vera ein Guds medarbeidar. Det er stort å kunna arbeida saman med andre i eit større arbeidslag. Det er nåde å få vera med i eit veksande misjonsarbeid og sjå Guds rike gå fram!

The road less travelled
A mega shift is taking place in Christianity at the moment. The face of the church is changing all over the world! The House Church Chronicle is one of these places on the Web to find information on the revolution that is taking place! They have just quoted a very interesting article by Paul Asay in The Gazette on the development in USA.

Less work but more fun
We have really enjoyed having Kristina and Daniel with us for some days, and we have been with our grandchildren in England. This summer we have had a lot of time with our wonderful grandchildren. It is great being grandparents! We have great fun when we are together with our grandchildren and our grown up children and their spouses as well.

More children less work
The last few days we have discovered anew that with more children there is less work than with one or two only. When we were having our own children and they grew in numbers until they reach six, we discovered that with more children we had less work in many respects. When we compared with small families we found that small famlies had a lot of work but less fun. With a big family there is less work and much more fun!

Fulltime grandparents
Kristina and Daniel are staying with us for a few days. That makes Solveig and me very happy and busy. Yesterday we went to Gullbotn to bath and to go rowing and exploring some of the small islands in the lake in one of the rowing boats. We had a wonderful time. Sun was shining bright from a clear sky. The temperature was very pleasant. We were out all day. In the evening I was worn out. When we came home I felt so tired and sleepy. I didn’t even care to look at my e-mail!

Betlehem og Hiroshima
Byane Betlehem og Hiroshima står for
avgrunnsredsle og framtidshåp
Hiroshima står for menneskeleg kløkt og avmakt
Betlehem står for Guds nåde og allmakt
Betlehem og Hiroshima er lagnadsbyar på godt og vondt
Den eine bygd og øydelagd
av store, sterke og kunnskapsrike menn
gjorde oss alle til offer for atomterror
Den andre bygd av fattigfolk
med signing av Den Gode og Vise
gav oss eit barn,
og gav oss von om fred på jord!

60 år i skuggen av atombomba
I desse dagar er det 60 år sidan amarikanarane sleppte atombomber over Hisroshima og Nagasaki med tre dagars mellomrom. I alle desse åra sidan denne skræmande hendinga har alle menneske vore offer for atomterroren! Alle kristne bør arbeida mot krig og serskildt mot bruk av atomvåpen! Krig er ein barbarisk, vond og usivilisert måte å prøva å løysa konfliktar på. Verdssamfunnet treng nye lover for konfliktløysing som kan gjera at krig og militær maktbruk får ein ende!

The one key to success in marriage
This morning we were able to post our chapter on 40 happy years to the German publisher. It was a great relief to be able to send it within the last deadline we had been given. At the end of our story we are sharing about the one key to success in marriage as well as giving some very simple advices for couples who want to grow stronger in their relationship.

Competition in marriage
Solveig and I have been busy writing a chapter in a book titled "30 happy years" lately. In the book couples that have been married for more than 30 years will tell their stories. I think it will be a very good book. The book will be published by a German publisher. We are running out of time as we are approaching the deadline for delivering the text to the publisher. If you are interested I will let you read a small part of what we have written. It has not been finished yet but will give you an idea of why we have enjoyed writing about our 40 years of happy marriage!
