Hello World,

It is early Saturday morning here in Northern Sweden (Gunnarn). The snow plow has run past my driveway already. Snow we have! It is almost a meter deep and the temperature is just 10 degrees F. I arrived here on Monday evening at about 10 pm. Then, the elders told me that they were having a meeting of all the churches in this area on Thursday evening and that I was the featured speaker. That happened – 60 people show up – a great time to see all my friends. Then, there was a time of fellowship over coffee and Swedish baking. I spoke on Moses meeting God at the Burning Bush in the desert. My point was that Jesus Christ is our Burning Bush. Where did I get that idea? Look at the parallelism between God’s conversation in Exodus 3: 6 - 12 and Jesus’ conversation in Matthew 28: 18 - 20.

My friend here has a snow mobile that he just bought from a Sami fellow who used it for chasing down wayward reindeer. It is a 4 cycle device that starts by the turn of a key – just like my car – and sounds just as good. Speaking of my car, it started right up after 3 months in an unheated garage. But I did have to plug in the electrical heater for an hour before of starting it. Also, I now have a GPS which keeps track of me on the roads. The roads are plowed very well. I drove to Lycksele yesterday to buy groceries there. That is my favorite grocery super market because all the stock people know me. I am good at asking them to read the ingredients in the stuff I buy. When no one in the store knows the English equivalent for the Swedish word – right then and there enters a leap of faith. But that is the way I cook anyway – by faith – blind faith. Finding Extra Virgin Olive Oil that was processed Cold Pressed really tied the store up for some time – never heard of Cold Pressed.

Love from Sweden, the land of the North,

George Wilson
