Stuart,
Taken this long to catch up with you. I so enjoy your news. You are being challenged – gone the soft life of Milton Keynes – body and soul now in harmony!.
I must thank Mary for telling me how to access your site. I tried via the information on the newsletter without success – isn’t the internet wonderful. Take care,
Jeanette
Hi Stuart
Just a quick note to say Hi. We’re back from SA and brought the Summer with us. Had a good break and have just had a chance to catch up with your blog. Your email address isn’t anywhere on the blog, BTW, so wonder if you intend it not public? Anyway, drop us a quick message, as I don’t have it and I’ll send you some piccies of the International Mass we had on Pentecost.
Hope you are still keeping well and the mozzies are getting bored with you.
Love from us all
RCGC and X Roos!
Stuart,
Cathy only brought the sun back for a week! we are now in sympathy with you as it is raining none stop. You are getting into the swing and will be able to put construction worker on your CV -soon you will be so fit!!!!!
God bless, you are in our prayers
Jeanette
Hi there Stu!
Wow! What a change of lifestyle! Sounds as if your days are just packed? Jeanette’s right – who needs a gym when your working that hard

Also, Cathy’s holiday presee didn’t last long, we’ve had persistant rain and grey skies for pretty much every day for over a week – the flowers are hanging their heads and the newly fledged blue tits are constantly shaking rain off their feathers – one of them nearly fell of his perch the other day!
So many prayers coming your way Stu, so be upheld by the love that composes them.
Trying to imagine you with whiskers
Look forward to hearing from you when you have a few moments, and have the energy. Meantime, Go well Stu.
Peace and blessings.
Love from Cyn.
Dear Stuart
just back from BUGB Faith and Unity where I was chatting with Mary C
I was asking whether you’d ever gone away ( sorry i didn’t keep in touch too well) and lo behold i find you have and seem to having a great if challenging time.
Since i last saw you our daughter Niamh has arrived and is keeping us busy with her antics and blessings.
I’ll check in again soon and see what all has been happening with you
I’ve just skimmed through the blog so far but wanted at least to start some contact.
Go well

What a difference your life is, Stu, from what most of the rest of us are doing. I celebrate your choices, and I know that they will have consequences of great worth, some unexpected! As my favorite Red Sox announcer years ago used to say at a moment that defied description or ordinary words, “Mercy!”
Hear the Word!!
Love and prayers, Don
Hi Dennis,
Maria and I hope all is well with you! I had been calling the Manse in Milton Keynes a couple of times and the answering machine said that you wern’t there. I thought you were dead or in prison until I had asked Chris Goodchild what had happened to you. I can only assume that because you are where you want to be, you feel more alive and free than you have ever felt. It must bring back old memories. We are glad that your prayers to go to South America were answered. Thanks be to God for your committment!
Peace and All Good
Scott
why did i say dennis? I’m getting old!! or wishing you were back in boarding school.

Hi Stuart
Have only just caught up with the fact that you are actually now in Nicaragua (from Martin & Margaret) and having now read your blog – see you are back in the UK (or at least travelling here tomorrow) so you may not pick up this message for a while. Just want to say that we will be praying for you in all the changes to your life and in your decision-making for the longer term future. Isn’t God wonderful how he sometimes completely changes our lives!
Love from us both, and God bless.

Estuardo, Just read all of your blogs in a oner. As I stab the adrenelin pen into my chest to bring myself round again, I am transported back in time and feel the the gentle tug of bile at the back of my throat from the very mention of the word Tortilla. An Indian awaits you near Glasgow that will leave you having food fantasies even when you stay in MK. When we meet i will lecture you about the situation in Nicaragua.
Qu te vayas bien, As you might say.

Hi Stuart
How are you It shoundslike you are having a rave out there.
Just to let you know that I am planing to change my life again. I am thinking on looking for another job in the hear future with the help of my support worker. I don’t really agree with Sunday work.
Shift patterns Sunday, Tuesday,Thursday 8 am till 2 pm so it is 3 * 6 which is 18 hours in full. Not bad but I am still wrestling.
As for church activities I have left morningside because they wouldn’t let me join a home group because of my dissability. I will tell you more when I see you in April better not mention names in a public email.
I am now attending Currubers and I am going to join them. I have filled out a form and Wayne, the minister, of whom I am sure you would like is going to get in touch with Cameron form my home group at Corrubers to speak with me about my testomony. So lots of prayers about that
Chris and Marion sometimes go along and I have chatted with them
Any way I am looking for ward to seeing you in April and especially looking forward to you coming home in 2010 in June that should be a rave!
Any way God bless and see you soom
Sandy
P.S I have now got Window live messenger so if you have that it would be great to speak to you face to face .
Sandy
Hello Stuart,
I find you comments on Nicaragua to be quite interesting. I have a ministry there as well with a wonderful bunch of women and children who have not always had the best of times.
I live in West Virginia in the States where quilting is a wonderful heritage and am curious-what’s with the quilting icons on your blogs? I use quilting as a part of my ministry there.

Hi Stuart,
Well, we’ve been back in the States for a little over a month now. I’ve spent a week of that time in California at a clergy event. I miss the slower pace of Nicaragua (if not the special challenges of it) but I know everything in life is a trade-off and I am blessed to have a place of ministry where I do.
I am just writing to say that meeting you was a pleasure and an extra joy. I don’t know if our paths will ever cross again, but I will be delighted if they do. Thanks for the hospitality and collegiality you showed me while I was there. You are an important part of what God is doing in Bluefields and Kukra Hill, and you are an important part of my memories of being there.
I will continue to lift you in prayer from time to time and will check on your blog each month or so. Feel invited to keep in touch and especially to write if you ever want to dialogue about anything.
Blessings
dear stuart,
just read your blog for the 30th Nov after what has been (and continues to be) a very difficult time over the past few months. Many thanks for giving me a perspective I have been missing – much more long term, much more ‘real’ and much more permanent and everlasting -> I really appreciate it. I hope the next 10 or so days fly by and that Jodie’s visit is all you both hoped it would be and much more. I’ll be praying for you both as you lay your plans for the future before the Lord, and as He directs your paths.
God bless.
Tony
