Greetings from Cape Town:
Judie and I are new "bloggers" and this is our first posting. We are enjoying life and ministry here in Cape Town with family and many friends. We hope to share with you some of the following parts of our lives. There will be blogs about our: (1.) Backgrounds; (2.) Adventures; (3.) Crews; (4.) Shipbuilding Methods; (5.) Navigational Instruments and all about the (6.) 'fleet.'

Join us on deck. It's WINTER here in the Southern Hemisphere and the Cape is currently a cape of storms with its north-wester storms, cold-fronts, gales and heavy rainy weather all joining together for a really good blow!

The ship of life has its smooth sailing but it's never too long before the storms and calms can make one wish for a harbour. We thank the Lord for His goodness to us and our family.

Ps 107:23... They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
