80th

We managed to avoid the British Airways strike and we are flying back to the UK today. It promises to be a busy time. The main reason for our trip is my father's 80th birthday. We are also going to be godparents to children of some good friends who are moving abroad to work. There are the obligatory visits to the doctor, dentist, optician, bank etc. When we return to Nazareth we will hit the road running because there will be CMS tour in town for a few nights, which will be hosted by our regional manager. Part of our responsibilities will be giving a presentation about our various roles and experiences. P

This must be one of the most photographed warning signs in Israel: No dogs; No shorts; No talking; No food or drinks; No guns; No smoking. It is the 'welcoming' sign of the Church of the Beatitudes, near the Sea of Galilee. I wonder if there were similar restrictions when Jesus taught on these hills.
Perhaps you should consider adopting a similar sign at your church/club as it pulls in thousands of punters every week. P
