Expectations   Early spring has melted the eyes snow. I was a blind seed. Now I see.   The frost that bound are separating. Flowing sources of light and air in everything that is dreaming.   Under the yellow grass, where the cold was, the skies cradles as a root from a flower.   Stone, that was hard and cold and put in shade Turns silently with the sun on the bare backs.   And from the rising waves of green straw new expectations are flowing pure and blue.   Newsletter February - March 2016  Halfdan Rasmussen’s spring poem describes [...]

Your deed shall testify for you. Your right hand shall not wither in gloves and golden ribbon! Keep the word holy, for know, the words are your spirit! We travel empty-handed one day. You also need to go. Enrich your heart, so you can have something to bring! Keep the word holy as angels descend! Something is greater than you. There are mountains with snow. There are more precious things than your life. You must fight for it! But do not trample on those, who have sunk to their knees! Arnulf Øverland.   Newsletter December 2015 - January 2016. Very [...]

It is about ideas such as freedom and democracy, the legal principle that all are treated equally and protection of property rights. These ideas spread through France to the world. In the 18th century [...]

Summer vacation went so quick in FHTH Ghana. We had a full house throughout the summer, and had to cook for 20 people every night. The centre buzzed with fun and happy people, and there was complete silence when schools opened after the holidays again, and one by one they went away from here. In additional Yaa took the big step and moved away from the centre along with Viola, after five years under FHTHs wings. We got busy visiting all schools, paying school fees, canteen money and buy this year's school books. Once again we had excited and happy [...]

In the name of love. In the name of love ............ The above was the theme of free air rock worship at the Church Laden in Stenum late August.

After the last newsletter the board has experienced this love and understanding of our work in Ghana. We have gratefully received additional [...]

Sit out against uplift and then think freely it is pure fabrication that there is something that is not conceivably Do intoxicate speed and acrophobia over the garden and houses yes we fly even further away Finally fly higher than the wings can carry you just being at the ground makes you just weird go up against the wind - when it bites in your cheek you have come closer A life in a maze confusing can you spot the mote it's hard to breathe freely So it may help to soar as an albatross you will tremble, when you [...]

Grace is your everyday, everyday, the presence. People living with grace, grace is: to be.

Second, grace means forgiveness or exemption from punishment, for example, the phrase "to ask for mercy." The third use of the word is old-fashioned respectful of address two dignitaries: "Your Grace." Synonyms: mercy, favor, goodwill.) (Wikipedia) Human life is strange ....... In his book “Something for mercy”, Gudmund Rask Pedersen has some thoughts about the way we humans perceive life. [...]

Newsletter April 2015 One - perhaps Utopian - wish: A world where few have too much and fewer too little. I received various comments on the last newsletter, which included this: "Everyone should have enough to eat and all children should have access to schooling. The number of people in the world living on less than seven dollars a day, should be halved, the same, the number of people suffering hunger. Diseases such as AIDS and malaria should be stopped. The infant mortality rate for children under five should be reduced by two thirds and maternal mortality by three-quarters. " [...]
