I am on my way home. I flew from Glasgow to Paris this morning, and I am now waiting for my flight to Brest this afternoon. Paris is sunny, and it is very hot in the terminal. I discovered when I arrived that there is a TGV station here, and that some trains go straight to Brittany. I might catch the train next time, rather than wait for 5 hours in a busy and noisy airport. Anyway, it doesn’t matter, I am nearly home.

Deputation 2011, Final Day
The Scottish weather was glorious for this final day. It was warm and sunny. We enjoyed the last few hours in Pitlochry by worshiping God with the folks who had stayed behind. It was a real privilege to meet these people. Their prayerfulness is humbling. After lunch, we drove back to Kilmacolm, near Glasgow where Iain lives. We didn’t have much time before the evening service. Just enough for a cuppa. Iain led the service and I preached.
The church here is celebrating Easter with a series of services each evening this week. They have been doing a lot of work, inviting people to come along. It really makes Easter special. They will also have services in the local prison, twice a day from Monday to Thursday, as well as a meeting with the senior management in the same prison.
It was my very last meeting. Good to have finished. I am now looking forward to see my family.
