I’m finished. And I feel so free! If you ever preach to a student congregation and you want to illustrate how the gospel frees us from sin there’s nothing better than using the example of completed exams – it reminds me of Charles Wesley’s words (I think it was him): ‘My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose went forth and followed thee’. Aaaaah…what a feeling!

Well done! Not only for completing your exams, but for quoting Charles Wesley! Brilliant!!!!
I hope you get a bit of a break…!?
I fly into Cape Town tomorrow (to do my friend Graham Power’s daughter’s wedding)… Looking forward to it.
Kaap stad!
Blessings,
Dion
