It struck me hard – as I went to bed last night – feeling utterly tired, frustrated and exhausted from another episode of unpleasant palpitations, that I shouldn’t be having by now, because I had a 95% chance of them fading to nothing within 8 weeks after heart surgery.

What did I have to be thankful for?

As I lay there, fed up, finishing what should have been a weekend of rest for us as a family, after 6 months of relentless pressure and strain, that I did not have anything to be thankful for.

prayers appreciated

Steven (my 20 year odl son) is awaiting surgery for what they believe is an inguinale hernia

He woke in severe pain around 0530, soJo rushed him to hospital

His heart rate was high, but that settled eventually

And being woken at 0530 also triggered palpitations for me

so i had to back to bed as Jo drove to hospital

He is now due for surgery "soon"

Praiuse God for answered prayer, though - i saw a lovely message praying for us. but when i was nudged to back and read it out loud my palpitations ceased immedeately

I've been a bit busy launching and growing @pure247radio but as we near our first birthday celebrations I'm getting back to writing those blog posts, and my Andy B 2 Minute Videos. They're all on @Berrybunchfamily and fresh material will start appearing soon.

Photo with @StevenBerry taken yesterday

Much more tired today. But the heart surgery went well with zero complications. Out same day, Praise God.

Today I'm weak, but still pain free and walking is more normal now - will try for another short walk today when the temperature drops a bit.

But I did have heart surgery 52 hrs ago, so not too bad considering.

God is good!!

The Gathering 2024

you can see our set up in the one photo - we managed all 9 hours of regular Live radio on Friday, and an extra 9 hours on the Saturday with something like 20-30 people I was honoured to speak with

we also celebrated Christmas on the Saturday with snow falling in hte big tent, in June....we joined in by switching our tunes and jingles to our christmas selection from 8 til 9pm

my good mate - Steve Legg - who battled cancer, was given a few months to live and attended last year and this year at The Gathering. he's living his best life! That'll be the chapin the colourful shirt

The Gathering is like nothing i've ever known before. 2,000 guys, in a field near Swindon and the one recurring comment? blokes loving a pint, in a field, in the sun, worshipping God

and 120 men gave their lives to God, or recommited their lives

Awesome

evern seen a double encore for more worship? yep. Graham Kendrick gave the blokes one more song to finish, after the event had run WAY over time

the cheer for each choice was so great he said they'd do both

man. the noise and joy and excitement of 2,000 men wanting to sing, at the top of their lungs, to the God the love

wow. just wow

www.thegatheringformen.com if you can come, and I did meet one chap who was from Colorado...
