BIT 24 - July 3 2008
Well, we have been quite busy since my last BIT...
We have been in the Eastern side of the Island, South of Dublin for the entire time...so far. We have been staying in different places, making new friends and enjoying the scenery that each location had to offer.
Dad & I ministered at a Christian Businessmen's Breakfast last Saturday in the town of Wexford. It was a great time of ministry, and before we left a gentleman invited us to come and stay for the night at his home the following Monday. Which proved to be another time where we were able to minister in different ways!

With our hosts, Jeff & Wanda Murray!
What a beautiful Celtic Cross!
  
This is just above Glendalough.

We saw this Gypsy wagon on the way to the Christian Businessmen's Breakfast last Saturday!

I also had the privilege of ministering at a Church of the Nazarene in Greystones. I played in both services, and the congregation really made us feel welcome. They had my name in there bulletin for a number of weeks and had been praying for us. That is such a great blessing!

In between both services one of the families took us on a day trip over to where there was a lot of the filming for the movie, "Braveheart" was taken.
One of the filming locations was near Glendalough... A beautiful place, there are 2 lakes, an upper one and a lower one. We went to the upper lake. It is at the head of a gorgeous valley...it was awesome to be standing there with the wind in my face looking at such majesty! I tell you, God is the ULTIMATE Artist!

It is also the site of one of the earliest Cathedrals in Ireland! It was founded in the 6th century! from here we continued on to other areas of the mountains that the grand fight scenes were filmed at...it is really a beautiful place. I could really get inspired there if we had the time to spend a few days. Unfortunately there are no buildings for miles and no transportation so that nixed that idea! Oh well!

From there we spent a few days back at the Bible outreach in Dalkey, and got caught up with laundry and rest...we are scheduled to head out early by train in the morning to go to the western side of Ireland, the Galway County area. My Mother's grandparents came from that area, and we are hoping to find a few living relatives while touring the countryside!
We've been told that the Galway area is the part of Ireland that looks like the old Ireland that most people see in the movies! I'm excited about getting there and finding some new treasures to store up in my mind...this has been an awesome journey over the past 3 months since we arrived in Europe and it's just beginning!
Thank you Lord for this opportunity to serve you and experience all this awesome scenery at the same time...It can't get much better than this!
Well, till my next BIT...you be blessed and have a great day!
Buddy

We're inside the ruins of what is thought to be a priest's house.
