Back in London

We just got back to London after spending a few days in the Lake District, a national park area in northern England. The pictures above were taken during the past few days while we were there.

We stayed in a 150 year old hotel in Grassmere, right beside the cottage where William Wordsworth wrote his poetry. A highlight of the time there was the day we spent in Keswick, where the Keswick Movement began. If you aren't familiar with the Keswick Movement, google it and read about how God used many during those days to share the message that we now so passionately share.

It was a joy when I actually stood behind the pulpit at St Johns Church where F.B. Meyer, Andrew Murray, Alexander Scroggy, John Darby, Jesse Penn-Lewis, Austin Sparks and many other early proponents of "the exchanged life" (the grace walk) taught. It was very meaningful to be there where these great saints of God of the past once stood.

Paul and Haley have been great hosts during our time here. We will return to the U.S. on Monday having had a tremendous time here in England.
