Delma and Wes visiting Mark in Tweed Heads Hospital. Mark's heart specialist last Monday (with Wes) saw him sent to hospital. His heart in not pumping as it should -outcome - fluid in lungs, tummy (bloated), legs and feet - the legs and feet release the fluid -  very painful feet. Legs need dressing every day - soaking wet. Given fresh dietary, Mark home on Frid later afternoon under authority. Delma might be little, but a mountain of woman.

E-BLAST - SUN - 22 MAY

Table Tennis Table was donated to CYC Burleigh for their youth camp. It originated in Moruya Basil Sellers House - Timeout in Moruya where the Chinese AIS Gymnast coaches challenged Mark (chaplain) - 1980 Shell Australia Table Tennis title. It came with us to Tweed Heads 15 years ago. With the new prayer room it was folded up. I caught up with Andrew Grant CYC Burleigh at church (Living Temple Christian Church - Tugun Baptist) offering it (youth camp). It was snapped up and collected. Table Tennis is a favourite in both Delma's and my families, we both grew up on table tennis. Anthea in Sydney continues the family tradition with a table.

Visiting the new Prayer Room at Timeout in the Tweed statistician for the young writers John Grocott and the Rev Ben Kruzins a young writer for Christian Today Australia and UK Christian Today. John / Ben visit Frid mornings to ensure Mark gets a break from his hectic schedule, watch a DVD - mostly  military movies. After the DVD last Frid morning John and Ben agreed to have their photo taken at the entrance of the prayer room - constructed a week previously. A wall was constructed with an open entrance, the crimson thick heavy curtain Delma sewed 14 years ago for the art studio was relocated to the Prayer Room.
