Have you seen this girl? [update: Sheldean is no longer with us]

Sheldean Human

Little Sheldean Human (7) went missing in Pretoria just over a week ago, wearing a pink shirt and denim jeans. Sadly, I learned on the 7 o’clock SABC news tonight that she still hasn’t been found. Please continue to keep eyes and ears open; if you come across any information which might help to locate her, please contact Anne (082-560-4479) or Vivian (082-365-7256).

Lord, please comfort Sheldean wherever she may be, and provide strength for her family.

Update: Sheldean’s body was found last night. May she rest in peace.

Remembering

nail.jpgMy earliest memory is one of my fondest. It’s of my dad sticking his head through a flap in our tent and pulling a funny face, while on a family holiday when I was only 4 years old! I also remember pushing my little sister around in a pram on the same holiday, even though I could hardly see over the handlebars…

I’m a very sentimental person, attaching a lot memories and meaning to various random objects, and also a very passionate photographer, trying to paint memories on paper. To me, memories are important. And I’ve realised lately that they’re completely necessary for a solid Christian life…

re:fresh camp

re:freshFor young men and women who could use some re:freshment, this weekend retreat is happening from 2 - 4 March 2007 at the Môrester camp site in Magaliesburg. Here’s a bit of background info from the website, www.refreshcamp.co.za:

re:fresh is a Christian camp for young adults (out of school-ers). It is set up to provide you with a relaxing weekend while fellowshipping with Christian young adults of other traditions and restoring a fresh view of the glory of our Creator and Lord Jesus Christ. If you’ve started off this year and already feeling exhausted and snowed under, re:fresh camp is here for you.

re:fresh has been running annually for the last 5 years and has always provided a great time for those who attended, being true to the title, as I’m sure anyone who has been could tell you. Don’t miss this year!
