I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees. My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease. All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die. I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life. God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down... But never found the time" ++++++++ NOTICES 29th December The Nesbitt Castle 6,Percy Ave, Hillside, Bulawayo. Looking for a venue for that"Special" occasion.

OUR SYMPATHIES GO TO REX LAMB AND HIS FAMILY. FROM THE ZURNAMERS ===== TIDBITS Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. Do not let us speak of darker days: let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days; these are great days--the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race. WINSTON S CHURCHILL +++++++++++ Wishing you all a festive evening and Gods Blessings for a healthy and prosperous 2005. Prayers and Faith will carry us all through a rough time. May everything that you hope for comes true. May we be grateful for what we have and think of those that have had all taken from them in a few minutes by the dreadful Tsunami Disaster.
