Some of the GEM Ireland peopleWe left there about an hour later than we had anticipated, because several people who came to the meeting got stuck in traffic on the motorway around Dublin as they came in from the north (we came the southern route).
It took us a while to connect up with Tim and Moya Jarvis due to the fact that my phone ran out of minutes while I was talking with Moya to get directions to their house. I had just registered a credit card with the mobile phone company, but apparently it takes some time before it activates, so we had to drive until we could find a pay phone.
Tim gave me directions to their house which happened to be maybe half a block from where we were when I got cut off while talking with Moya.
With Moya (Brennan) and Tim JarvisHad a really nice time with the Jarvises, discussing many different aspects of music, worship, ministry, raising kids, etc. They were a great source of information and encouragement, giving us a perspective on worship ministry that we might not get from the typical worship leader. We arrived strangers and left friends.
After that we went to get our phone working again and then found ourselves back at the Kingsleys' for dinner and more phone calls. Our dance card for our great tour of Ireland is just about as full as we can get it.
We still have some time to fill while we're in Dublin, although we only have about 5 days left that are open for making appointments.
The Weather - 'twas quite blustery today, but rather mild. About 50F with light rain here and there.
Tomorrow - Cork.

Allo! Good to hear all is well. Curious quick question: what did you mean by "giving us a perspective on worship ministry that we might not get from the typical worship leader."
Thanks!
Lay people and volunteers(not staff) can give perspectives on ministry from that angle, as opposed to someone who is ensconsed in ministry as a staff person. I suppose it's kind of like how an employer and employee see things differently.
