Next monday (28), i'll celebrate 44 Springs. Life flyes and even when we know it, it's son hard to see it happen, isn't it?

I'm on a train starting the journey once again. This time to meet tonight with AIA Global Council teammates. It's been a whole since we met and worked together  and look forward to it. We'll be at AIA USA HQ at Xenia, OH, so I'll get to see dearly fellow partners and life friends an mentors like Tom and Mary Rapp.

I'm missing Lidia and our children already. Please hold and lift then dearly in your prayers. For strenght and protection.

The walls of Mdina are so wide and invincible that even restaurants are built inside them, but I go back today with the impression we helped torpeed the island from within :-).

Thanks for your prayers for wise and insightful follow through and eternal fruit out of each potential iniciative. Pray for clear next steps and model pilot projects in the coming months/years. Chaplaincy & outreach to the U17 European Football Championships next May there, ESLT L1 training, Maltese participants to our next UTC, a Sport & Life weekend to federation and Olympic coaches & leaders...
