It won’t be a surprise, you know what I'm saying? I - just - love –Ealing, whether working or playing. I've been on my travels, I've been here, I've been there I've followed my Jesus, ‘til He led me here. And now I can't help it, I love every street and as I turn 50, people ask, 'Pete, why are you stirred to serve this old city with Isaac and Josh, with Lois and Nicky?' 'Oh, golly', I say, 'Isn't it clear? It's the call of Jesus each day that I hear.' But, hand - on - my – heart, it's a challenge - isn't it? How do I serve, when I'm five foot six? Now I love a good quote. I know you don’t judge, but some people say I love them too much. I love a great movie, but sit at the rear so people around me won't notice my tears. [I'm just being honest with you.] I love a good read, I've got books wall to wall and I love the Arsenal when they're on the ball. I was in the Olympics, did I tell you that? If you look real closely you might see my cap. I love Redeemer, the believers who gather, how they will turn up to worship no matter. I love just how creative some of them are, the wannabe poets, the guys on guitar. Now I mustn't embarrass anyone here, but I love my dear wife, just so that's clear. I love my three kids in no special order; as they keep on growing I’ll cheer ever louder. And each day I go walking, I might even run, cos by living with passion I might serve the Son. I - just - love – Ealing.  Do I hear an Amen? Let's stride out together!  Redeemer-London!
