Johnny Clegg

So Operation 'Bouncing Christmas Balls' rolled on and we heard that my all time favourite SA musician was playing at the famous Kirstenbosch botanical gardens as part of there summertime concerts in the park. We just had to go.
 
We phoned them and to our horror the tickets were sold out for the Johnny Clegg show. We were dissapointed as he is absolutely briliiiant. Next minute we got a call from Julian Marsay, a friend from our church in Pretoria, who has been the Iron Maidens cycling partner here on leave and was going to the show. They had recieved two complimentary tickets and offered it to us. So off we went.
 
The show was around a hour and a half and absolutely brilliant. I love his music and songs. We both enjoyed it so much sitting on a blanket, everyone picknicking, one of the most clearest, spectacular views of a mountain to our right and people singing & jiving to Johnny. It was so worth it.
 
When the show ended we went back to fetxch our stuff from Clive & Diane and movwed on up the road to stay with Gary & Nicoleen, Robyns friend from school.

Holy Discontent - Bill Hybels

The author challenges us to say what is our / my Holy Discontent. What is that thing that you just feel I must do something about, at whatever the cost! He uses the example of a Mother Theresa in India, a Martin Luther King who said I cant stand for racism and inequality any more.

What did I take from this book? Well what is my Holy Discontent? What is that thing that drives me deep to the core and at whatever cost I must do!
