His #12StepsfortheRecoveringPharisee (like me) is required reading y’all 😎

My gunsteling skrywer as kind was Leon Rousseau met sy #FritzDeelman boeke. Natuurlik het ek ook Trompie gelees, maar Luitenant Deelman was my hero 😂😎

My gunsteling stokperdjie is die versameling van boeke, cd’s, plate, dvd’s en blurays. Ek besit elke #BestFilmOscar sedert 1928 se “Wings” en sal dv later vanjaar “Green Book” voeg by my versameling.

I was born June 18th 1969 in Bethlehem, in the Orange Free State province of South Africa. One month later the world was captivated by the launch and eventual landing on the Moon by Niel Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. And ever since, I’ve been bothered by the Moon 😂😎🌓🌖🌕. Dáárom is my blog by www.metdiemaangepla.blogspot.com

Doing funerals have been part of my job for more than 25 years. Today we said goodbye to oom Jan Jonck, an 83 year old prayer warrior from our congregation. I truly believe that Jesus Christ conquered death and that one day I will see Him face to face. In movies, death is a powerful subject:
• Shadowlands (CS Lewis & Joy & death)
• Departures (beautiful Japanese film)
• Amour (devastating)
• Dead Man Walking (Death penalty)
• Million Dollar Baby (Euthanasia😭)
• Leaving Las Vegas (Alcoholism & Death 😭)
• The Seventh Seal (a Knight, Death and a game of Chess)

Today is 7th time I’ve voted in a South African general election. In terms of “political” movies, nothing beats the influence Alan Parker’s “Mississippi Burning” had on me as a 19/20 year old in 1989. I remember watching the movie with my brother Frikkie in Pretoria and afterwards praying with him and asking God to forgive us for “apartheid.” A year later Nelson Mandela was released on February 11th 1990. I love 🇿🇦South Africa and keep praying:
“God Bless Africa;
Guard her children;
Guide her leaders
And give her peace, for Jesus Christ's sake.
Amen.” Trevor Huddleston

I was one month and 12 days too young for the 1987 election: May 2nd 1987

My voting career😂😎🇿🇦:
1. September 6th 1989
2. Apartheid referendum March 17th 1992
3. First democratic election April 27th 1994
4. June 2nd 1999
5. April 14th 2004

My gunsteling berg as kind, veral 1980-1982 toe ons in Saldanha gebly het, was Tafelberg, wat ons so nou en dan “besoek” het. In daai tyd by die Burger Strandhuis was ons bo-op, en weer as gesin in 2009 (40ste bday.) Maar na byna 13 jaar hier in Blanco, is my #1 nou die Outeniqua berge. Wát ‘n uitsig elke dag. Nooit dieselfde as gister nie. Laasjaar verlig met vuur, destyds Hansie Cronjé se vertekpunt na die Ewigheid😭.

Op hierdie Moedersdag sê ek dankie Here vir Elreza Esperance (Kelber) Mulder, my liefste Mamma❤️! Sy wat my gebaar, gevoed en aan Jesus voorgestel het in 1974. Sy wat my leer bid het. Sy wat ons 4 boeties gedirigeer het totdat ons musiek-maak begin #RockandRoll het 😂🤘🏻. Sy wat getroos en bemoedig en aangespoor het. EN STÉÉDS DOEN op haar knieë. Liewe Mams, dankie vir al die opofferings! Dankie vir die “uitmelk” sodat ek vir twee maande in die broeikas kon moedersmelk nuttig. Dankie dat Mamma my elke 18e Junie herinner aan die weersiens eendag van Esperanza, my tweeling sussie wat ses ure na geboorte oorlede is. Ek tel my seëninge een vir een, en Mamma is een van die grootstes👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

My eerste hond was ‘n #Foksterriër genaamd “Toontjies.” Sy het gif ingekry toe ons by die Militêre Basis in Bethlehem gebly het. Daar was baie trane daardie aand. Ek was enigiets tussen 5 en 7 jaar oud. Toe ons in Saldanha by die Militêre Akademie gebly het (1980-1982), was daar twee Foksies: Heidi en Peter. Dominee Kriek het Peter doodgery, maar eers twee dae later, na ons die hele Akademie platgesoek en geroep het, die nuus kom deel😭. Nóg ‘n Peter is in Bloemfontein doodgery by my Peetouers, ds Fanie en Barbara Schoonees😭. Oom Fanie was die voorsiener van Foksies aan die groter familie. En in Pretoria (1983 - 1994)? Kannie meer onthou nie. Maar ons #MaltesePoedel “Eevee” is ons gesin se eerste woefie sedert ek en Karina einde 1991 getroud is. Sy was @marize_mulder se verjaardag persent in Oktober 2016. En ons ❤️ haar kwaai! In haar oë sien ek onvoorwaardelike liefde en aanvaarding. En dankbaarheid. En iets van die Here se wonderlike skepping...

I’m fascinated by #tattoos : What do people value so much to “permanently” #ink themselves with? A loved one’s name... a symbol... a slogan. For my 45th birthday 5 years ago, I wanted a tattoo on my left wrist with the words #τετέλεσται (it is finished - John 19:30) or #δοῦλοςΧριστοῦ (slave of Christ - Romans 1:1), but decided to rather get my left ear pierced (Exodus 21:6) and commissioned an #ΙΧΘΥΣ earring.
If ever I do get a tattoo (because I interpret Leviticus 29:18 in context and I love Revelation 14:1) it would be one of the above examples or a #JoshuaTree🌵
The tattoo in the picture I took today, was done yesterday on the arm of a lady whose father passed away last week. The #symbolism for her is that her father is her #treeoflife 🙏🏻.

Since December 2017 @u2 ‘s song #Loveisallwehaveleft has been one of my favourite songs ever! I sang it as part of my sermon on #1Corinthians13 #agapelove (8/12/2017):
 
Love Is All We Have Left
U2
 
Nothing to stop this being the best day ever
Nothing to keep us from where we should be
I wanted the world but you knew better
And that all we have is immortality
Love and love is all we have left
A baby cries on a doorstep
Love is all we have left
Love and love is all we have left
You argue 'cause you can't accept
Love is all we have left
Now you're at the other end of the telescope
Seven billion stars in her eyes
So many stars
So many ways of seeing
Hey, this is no time not to be alive
Love and love is all we have left
A baby cries on a doorstep
Love is all we have left
Love and love is all we have left
The only thing that can be kept
Love is all we have left

Bruce Cockburn’s 1983 song “Lovers in a dangerous time” from his album #StealingFire contains my all-time favourite lyric:
“Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight - got to kick at the darkness til it bleeds daylight!”
This lyric connects my favourite band @u2 with Bruce, my favourite singer-songwriter-guitarist: on U2’s album #RattleandHum Bono quotes this lyric on his song #Godpart2 - a response to John Lennon’s song “God”.

Wát ‘n voorreg om in @blancogemeente verantwoordelik te wees vir die 60-plussers: hulle by wie ons jongeres sóveel kan leer. Ek is mal oor seniors en hul verhale en lewenslesse. Ek het hierdie passie van my in 1989 ontdek toe ek vir ‘n week as 20-jarige alleen gaan kuier het by my Oupa dominee Frikkie (79jr) en Ouma Esperance (89jr) Kelber op Despatch. Ouma het my oa vertel van haar gunsteling politikus (oom Jannie Smuts) en Oupa het sy langhaar-Tokkelok kleinseun uitgeluister en dééglik bebid🙏🏻! Ek eer hul nagedagtenis asook my naamgenoot Oupa Nicolaas Francois Smit Mulder en Ouma Sannie. Op die foto’s is my kosbare Dinsdag oggende Senior Bybelstudie lede. Dankie vir jul vriendskap, liefde en omgee. Moenie vir die gemeente sê nie, maar julle is my “favourites!” ❤️ Onthou altyd jul roeping: wees die Oupas en Oumas van die gemeente wat bid en bederf 😎! @ Blancogemeente George

My pa se gunstelinge is Filippense 4:13 en Psalm 18:30. My skoonpa s’n was Psalm 16:11.
My #Lewensvers is Psalm 34:6
“Kyk na die Here en straal van vreugde, want julle sal nooit teleurgestel word nie.” (Lewende Bybel).
In die Engelse vertalings is dit vers 5: “Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” (NIV).
By drie waterskeidende momente in my lewe het die Here op ‘n bonatuurlike wyse vir my hierdie Psalm en teksvers gegee:
Julie 1990 - toe ek en Karina uitgemaak het...
5 Julie 1991 - die aand voor ek Karina op haar 21ste verjaardag gevra het om te trou...
8 Oktober 2006 - die oggend toe ek beroep is na Blancogemeente in George...
Mense stel teleur, ons stel onsself teleur, maar die VaderSeunGees - nóóit! Vertrou Hom! Gee jouself oor aan Jesus Christus.

In 1987 I saw #FerrisBuellersDayOff and ever since it’s been my #FavouriteComedy
Along with #ThePrincessBride it’s the most quoted movie in our house:
When Karina and I visited Chicago in 1998, I put aside my #claustrophobia and got in the elevator that took us to the top of the @chicagosearstower - because I had to retrace Ferris’s footsteps 😂😂😂! Oh and that Yello song “Oh Yeah” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!#yourestillhereitsovergohome

#ForrestGump & #JohanHeyns sal altyd in my gedagtes verbind wees: op Guy Fawkes nag in 1994 het ons Forrest Gump op die grootskerm saam met my ouers geniet in Pretoria. Later die aand bel my pa my met die nuus dat my gunsteling Professor, Johan Heyns vermoor is. As finale jaar Tokkelok by Tukkies was hy my hero. Foto 2 is ‘n 20 Augustus 1990 koerantberig wat jou iets vertel van sy besondere leierskap sedert hy in 1986 die NG Kerk gelei en gehelp het op ‘n nuwe pad weg vanaf #apartheid na #versoening 🙏🏻!
Die ander foto’s is van sy begrafnisbrief.
My lied #LiedvirdieDood is geskryf na aanleiding van sy dood asook dié van Pieter Boshoff en Buurman Botha (2 voormalige SR voorsitters) in September 1994.
Lied vir die dood
Die bottel het geval, die skerwe lê verpletter
Die legkaart is banaal, die stukke lê verketter
’n duis’ligheid tref
my hart geklief
dié refrein maal in my
’n lied vir die dood – vír jou, óór jou –
jy maak my bang vanaand
maar jou wrede eenoog-angel
is uit ’n grotgraf kru ontangel
My woorde dit is al, odes eng geyk
Die trooswoord leeg en koud, die lewensvlag gestryk
’n duis’ligheid tref
my hart geklief
dié refrein skeur in my
’n lied vir die dood – vír jou, óór jou –
jy maak my bang vanaand
maar jou wrede eenoog-angel
is uit ’n grotgraf kru ontangel
’n sanger hoor ek skree: “dis hoop in smart wat kort!”
die prediker eggo mee, die lewe eind’loos kort
’n duis’ligheid tref
my hart geklief dié refrein maal in my
’n lied vir die dood – vír jou, óór jou –
jy maak my bang vanaand
maar jou wrede eenoog-angel
is uit ’n grotgraf kru ontangel
Ja jou wrede eenoog-angel
is deur Jesus wreed vermorsel
– 5 November 1994 (Pretoria) @ Blanco, Western Cape, South Africa

Today, two years ago I saw U2 in Dallas, Texas🇺🇸 for their #TheJoshuaTreeTour2017
Two days earlier I was in the front row in Houston with my 🇿🇦 flag, up close and personal with Bono and Adam Clayton. In Dallas I had the #wideangle - and what a view! I’ve now seen U2 live 4 times - the first time in Johannesburg (March 21st 1998) and the second time with my sons (@ergo_art & @theomuldr ) in Cape Town (February 18th 2011). Nothing beats the #adrenalinerush of hearing and experiencing #wherethestreetshavenoname
At my funeral (hopefully not scheduled before 2069 dv) - thís song needs to be played.
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).
The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust.
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).

I love the Bible - all 66 books in this amazing library called βίβλος (‘BIBLOS’ - a written book, roll, or volume, sometimes with a sacred connotation.)
I’ve been a Reverend for the past 25 years. I’ve preached MANY sermons - all from this fantastic, inspired, troubling and arresting Book. My favourite Afrikaans translation is “DIE BOODSKAP” and I love “THE MESSAGE” although I usually preach from the 1983 Afrikaans Bible. What’s your favourite translation?
For the next three days my two colleagues and I will be working through the last book in the Bible (Openbaring - Revelation) for the third semester church services. Please pray for us🙏🏻👍🏻❤️

Reading #Revelation (that’s my Greek New Testament in the picture) I’m reminded of these incredible works of literature and the brilliant movies made by #PeterJackson
One of my theology classmates, Ronel Meylahn, did her thesis on #lordoftherings and #revelation -
“Narrative-critical approach as hermeneutical framework for a creative dialogue between biblical sources and secular extra-biblical sources: The Lord of the Rings as an entry into the Book of Revelation.”

“Do you see what I see?”
Yes, that’s an orange #mangoairlines #Boeing737800 about to land @george_airport (7 km from our home).
#iloveflying✈️ even though I’m unfortunately not a #frequentflyer
Whenever I’m in an #aeroplane I always remind myself of the following:
• I am blessed to be flying today.
• Flying is expensive.
• A lot of people will never once fly during their lifetime.
• Few people on earth get to travel at this speed.
• Enjoy the view - it gives perspective.
• Being in an aeroplane means I’m going somewhere. There’s a purpose to this travel. #AdventureTime
• Last but not least: I’m not in control. I surrender to this moment knowing that my life and times are in the hands of the #FatherSonHolySpirit 🙏🏻.

My Oupa Frikkie Kelber het altyd gesê: “As jy nog nie hartseer en teleurstelling beleef het nie, het jy nog nie lank genoeg geleef nie.”
In #ThePrincessBride verklaar Westley aan Buttercup: ““Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”
Om ‘n sport-teleurstelling te lys as een van die groot “hartseers” van jou lewe, sal sommige mense die gewraakte woorde laat uiter: “Dis nét ‘n spel! Kom oor dit!”
Maar vir sportmal patriotiese Suid-Afrikaners soos ek wat die terugkeer van die Proteas na die wêreldverhoog in 1991 beleef het, is die Protea-verhaal sedertdien een van spanning, trots, vreugde en baie trane😭😭😭!
En die laagste laag ooit: die aand voor my 30ste verjaardag: 17 Junie 1999 halfeindstryd teen Australië. Klusener wat ons onverdiende hoop gee tot die einde, en dan saam met Donald een lopie te min eindig (gelykop, maar steeds uitgeskakel😭😭😭)!
My 30ste in die Kruger Wildtuin by Skukuza die volgende dag was ‘n disaster. Ek en Karina, doodmoeg na ‘n nagmerrie-nag van slapelose rondrol, ek later in die dag naar en siek.
Dis 20 jaar later.

Vanaf komende Sondag tot Donderdag hou ek Pinksterdienste in Hoekwil, Die Vleie NG Kerk. Laas Sondag het ek en Karina op Wildernis strand vir ds Dawie en Elaine le Roux, hy die Biker & Banjo-speler dominee van Vleie gemeente, raakgeloop. Vandag dink ek aan byna 25 jaar van verskillende kollegaskappe ... to be continued ...
 
 
In my finalejaar (1994) het ek my prakties gedoen by ds Pieter van Niekerk van Oosterlig in Pretoria. Hy het aangedring dat ek hom Pieter en nié Oom noem nie 😂- dít was moeilik. Oor my proefpreek met te veel stories het hy oa gesê: “Jy het dv nog baie preke in die toekoms, moenie al die stories en illustrasies wat jy ken nou al klaar gebruik nie!”
Eerste gemeente (Januarie 1995 - Desember 2006):
Middelburg-Wes NG Kerk in Mpumalanga (naam verander in 2006 na Ligkruis)
My eerste amptelike kollega was Neels Coetzee (1995-1996). Hy het destyds begin om Oosterlig en Pieter van Niekerk te betrek vir gemeentekampe. Van Neels onthou ek die baie saamlag en die skaapkop wat ek saam met hom eendag in hul pastorie geëet het 😂😂😂!
Ná Neels se vertek was ek en Piet Otto kollegas (1996-2004). Sy diep gereformeerde oortuigings het ‘n groot impak op my teologie gehad. Met sy omskakeling na sendeling-leraar by Herlewing SA, was ek alleen tot einde 2005. Dit was ‘n opwindende en uitdagende tyd waartydens ons as leierskap begin het met verskeie nuwe kursusse asook die 40 dae doelgerigte lewe.
My laaste jaar in Middelburg was saam met Petri Coetzee (2006), wat eers sendeling in Mosambiek was. Ek onthou baie pizza wat tussen ons twee gesinne verorber is (ek het die 🍷 gebring 😂). Wat ek onthou van Petri is sy besondere vermoë om werklik te luister. My afskeidspreek was op 19 November 2006.
 
 
Tweede gemeente (Desember 2006 —>):
Blanco NG Kerk (in George, Suid-Kaap)
Sedert 3 Desember 2006 is ek en Cornie Pretorius mede-leraars in Blancogemeente. In 2016 het Ferdi Boll sy finalejaar by ons kom doen en is ons sedert 2017 ‘n 3-man-skap. Cornie is nés Ferdi ‘n plaasjapie met ‘n besondere liefde vir die natuur. Verder brand, maal en maak hy die beste koffie in die Suid-Kaap. Hy het ‘n besondere groot-prentjie visie van die Koninkryk.
Ferdi, my eerste kollega jonger as ekself, se lewens-password is #JAG🦌! Dis sooooo lekker om as amper-50-jarige sóveel te leer by ‘n 26-jarige wat die Here passievol liefhet. Die begrafnis van Jeandré, sy vrou, wat hy sélf waargeneem het in 2017, was een van die mees inspirerende belewenisse van my lewe. Sy opstandings-geloof en hoop-in-Jesus het ons almal sprakeloos gelaat.
Kollegaskap is ‘n vóórreg, soms ingewikkeld, soms groot pret, dikwels uitdagend, rigtinggewend!
Dankie Here vir ‘n kwarteeu van saambedien met kollegas wat U liefhet en dien.

Today I celebrate the music of my favourite South African artist: Johnny Clegg.
Arthur Koestler explained creativity as the fusion or sudden clash of two or more seemingly incompatible codes or spheres which, for a brilliant moment, explodes into something new and breathless (my paraphrase).
Johnny, bringing together Zulu culture and Western music, is a brilliant example of true creativity.
My brothers and I went to see him perform in Sun City right after the release of #HeatDustandDreams in 1993.
Our own songs #TheHorizon #Simbona and #SyHartBrand used his template for mixing languages and musical styles.
I’ve since met Johnny twice and seen him at Fancourt perform both those times.

The Pastor (Francois Mulder) + the Poet-Prophet (Johnny Clegg) + the Apprentice 12 year old guitar player (Theo Mulder). Thanks for a great show @ Fancourt, Johnny!

An anthropologist in action - Professor @JohnnyCleggReal being the embodiment of #Madiba's dream: redemption!
A great night with my friends Marius Bosman, Morne Nel and my son Theo.
 
 
Johnny Clegg on South Africa (December 2018):
“We seem to be, in the last seven years, gripped by this incredible materialism ... we can’t wait for tomorrow ... everybody wants everything now ... nobody is investing in the future ... we are in a crisis of an ideology of redistribution without understanding that you can only have a proper redistribution system with a proper growth system ... “

Ek is mal daaroor om te preek. Nés my Oupa Frikkie Kelber altyd gesê het, preek ek altyd eerstens vir myself.
Na byna 25 jaar in die bediening as VDM (verkondiger van die Woord), wonder ek hoeveel preke ek al gelewer het 🤔🤔🤔.
Sonder die werking van die Heilige Gees, is preke blote woorde. DV het ek nog 15 jaar voor my in die voltydse bediening (op 65 moet dominees aftree). Mag elke preek meer oor die VaderSeunGees sê as oor my🙏🏻.
Vanoggend kon ek preek vanuit ‘n boot hier in Hoekwil se Vleie NG Kerk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Altyd ‘n vóórreg en verantwoordelikheid.
Kom Here Jesus, wys U liefdeshart vir ons❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

Today I #celebrate the #nicknames I’ve been given over the years.
My #baptismalnames are Nicolaas Francois Smit Mulder after my #grandfather (6 Febr 1915 - 16 Oct 1994, a #worldwar2veteran ) who was a #tobaccofarmer , #pigfarmer and various #cropsfarmer
My Dad used to call me #Ouboet but officially my name is Francois.
Nicknames:
•Muller
•Franna
•Peanut
•Boland (because I arrived at my first athletics practice @klofies in 1983 with my Boland provincial training vest🤔)
•Gommie (given by my three brothers before my wedding in 1991, because of the Afrikaans word bruideGOM / brideGROOM 🤣)
•Liefling
•Lovie
•Dad
•Pappa
•Dominee (because of Matthew 23:6-8 I don’t like #honorarytitles in Church)
In the second picture you see @kevincostner_official ‘s 1990 movie #DanceswithWolves (the name that the Indians give the Kevin Costner character is translated as "Dances with Wolves".) Karina and I gave each other similar type names after watching the movie in 1990. Her name:
#SmilewithAngels is 100% accurate ❤️😁😇!
Mine? The 1990 name didn’t stick, and we can’t remember what it was 🤣.
So a few years ago I got a new one from Karina that references the song sung by @itspetergabriel in the movie #babepiginthecity -
I pray I live up to that name 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
What’s your nickname?

I love reading #autobiographies and #biographies (politics, music, sport, entertainment.)
My favourite #biography is No Compromise: The Life Story of Keith Green written by his wife, Melody. Keith Gordon Green (October 21, 1953 – July 28, 1982) was an American contemporary Christian music pianist, singer, and songwriter. I love the passion for Jesus you hear in his music. His journey from a #nonbelieving searching-for-meaning #hippie to a #Jesusfollower is beautifully written. Keith died in a plane crash in 1982. Listen to his songs #ThereisaRedeemer and #OhLordYourebeautiful ❤️
What is your favourite biography or autobiography ?

I believe Jesus is the hope of the world. I believe He paid for my sins and that His tomb is empty: He conquered death. I love Him! I trust Him with my life on earth and my eternal life as well. When I was 5 years old I gave my heart to Jesus. When I was 13 years old I gave my future to Him as well.
In my almost 50 years on earth, I’ve heard the good news of Christ presented in many many different ways. My favourite? Reverend Bono 😇😂😂😂: in Chapter 11 of the book “Bono on Bono: conversations with Michka Assayas”, 2005 (Hodder) he discusses the difference between Grace and Karma.
“You see, at the centre of all religions is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back to you; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in physics – in physical laws – every action is met by an equal or opposite one. Its clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. I’m absolutely sure of it.
And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that “As you reap, so will you sow” stuff. Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff.
But I’d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I’d be in deep shit. It doesn’t excuse my mistakes, but I’m holding out for Grace. I’m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross because I know who I am, and I hope I don’t have to depend on my own religiosity.
The point of the death of Christ is that Christ took on the sins of the world so that what we put out did not come back to us, and that our sinful nature does not reap the obvious death. That’s the point. It should keep us humbled…its not our own good works that get through the gates of heaven…
If only we could be a bit more like Him, the world would be transformed. All I do is get up on the Cross of the Ego; the bad hangover, the bad review. When I look at the Cross of Christ, what I see up there is all my shit and everybody else’s. So I ask myself a question a lot of people have asked: Who is this man? And was He who He said He was...”

Vandag dink ek terug oor gebeurtenisse in en rondom my lewe wat ‘n groot impak of invloed op my gehad het. Die voorblad van Hywel Williams se boek “Days that changed the World: the 50 defining events of World history” wys foto’s van 21 Julie 1969 se maanlanding asook die “val” van die Berlynse Muur op 9 November 1989. Die oorgang vanaf die Ou na die Nuwe Suid-Afrika🇿🇦 hierna was natuurlik vir my lewensveranderend. Ook 9-11 in 🇺🇸.
TV se begin in 1976 toe ek in Sub A was, het “vermaak” vir altyd verander. My eerste selfoon in 1996 was ‘n Nokia. Daardie selfde jaar het ons ‘n internet-konneksie gekry: weereens lewensveranderend. Facebook: 2007. Instagram: April 2016.

Groot persoonlike “dae” -
* Bekering - 1974
* Sub A & B 1976-1977 Môrelig in Bethlehem.
* St 1-2 1978-1979 Kroonheuwel, Koonstad.
* St 3-5 1980-1982 Saldanha Laerskool.
* St 6-10 1983-1987 Waterkloof Hoërskool, Pretoria.
* Roeping om predikant te word - Desember 1983
* ontmoet die 🇺🇸CCM sanger Bobby Michaels in 1986 en neem ‘n “plaat” op in 1987 getiteld “Friends”
* Teologie by Universiteit Pretoria 1988-1994
* die Mulderbroers word ELEISON in 1990 met die album “Staan Op!” en in 1994 ons eerste cd met ons eie musiek en liriek.
* my en Karina se verlowing op haar 21ste - 6 Julie 1991
* getroud 7 Desember 1991
* 1 Januarie 1995 - Jeugproponent, Middelburg-Wes
* November 1995 - bevestiging as dominee
* Roshai gebore - 11 Julie 1996
* Theo gebore 1 Januarie 2000
* My skoonpa, Doors Scholtz, oorlede 1 April 2001.
* Maríze gebore 22 Oktober 2002
* 3 Desember 2006 - bevestiging in Blanco, George.
Wat is van die GROOT momente in jóú lewe?

Today I honor those preachers who had an impact on my life.
Dr Willie Marais, the pastor to the Prime Ministers of South Africa, was a huge influence. A true man of God. A child of his time, just like my Grandfather, Rev. Frikkie Kelber (whom I’ll discuss later in my countdown.)
I love the preaching of John Ortberg and Tim Keller. I did my practical training with Rev. Pieter van Niekerk from @oosterlig in 1994.
But my hero has always been - faithful, humble and focused on the Good News of Jesus Christ. I can’t wait to meet him someday #BillyGraham🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Today I celebrate those writers who’ve helped me to look at art, music and movies through thoughtful glasses.
Brian Walsh’s look at the music of Bruce Cockburn culminated in his book “Kicking at the darkness.” His early articles as well as his book “The Transforming Vision” about a Christian worldview, has been transformative in my life.
Steve Turner’s “Hungry for Heaven: Rock ‘n’ Roll and the search for Redemption” is a brilliant book.
I love the thoughtful and poetic writing of Ken Gire. His “Reflections on the Movies: Hearing God in the Unlikeliest of Places” is part of the “Reflective Living Series.”
My favourite movie critics are the late   and #RogerEbertJeffrey Overstreet👏🏻👍🏻📽🎥🎬
May you experience brilliance in the Arts!🙏🏻 

One way to minimize the cricket heartache, is to preach Pentecost worship services every night the play a match. Like Sunday against Bangladesh and Wednesday against India. I only heard we lost when I got home .#Proteas#cwc2019😭😭😎

2. My eerste vis gevang in my naamgenoot Oupa Nic se plaasdam op Brits.
3. Vreemd om jou eie volle name op ‘n grafsteen te sien: die eerste begrafnis waar ek die ter aarde bestelling gedoen het (1994): my oom, dominee Nico (óók NFS nés ek en sy Pa, my Oupa) Mulder het die erediens gelei.
4. ‘n Deel van my U2 versameling.
5. My plateversameling.
6. ‘n Deel van my bluray/dvd versameling.

8. My gunsteling skildery - tannie Rieks Minnaar se handewerk en afskeidsgeskenk aan my in November 2006.
Middel foto: ‘n Deel van my Bruce Cockburn versameling - box-set plus autobiography. I own every album since his first in 1969, my birth year !🕺

Vandag sê ek dankie Here vir my wonderlike skoonma, Ouma Boekies, en my skoonfamilie. Oupa Beer is oorlede op 1 April 2001 en dit was my moeilike voorreg om my geliefde skoonpa en Karina se Pappa te begrawe. Ek mis sy wysheid en raad. Ek kon skoonma in die huwelik bevestig met Oupa Rias in 2005. Hulle tuiste in Jeffreysbaai is ‘n welkome oase van rus, vrede en liefde vir ons. Dankie vir elke gebed, Mamma .🙏🏻

Vandag dank ek my Hemelse Vader vir my aardse vader: Frederik Sewerus Mulder.
Shylock (uit Shakespeare se Merchant of Venice), Shai, Pappa, Daddy, Generaal, Baba Shai en Oupa Troepie!
What a legend: soldier in the Angolan war, bridge 14 builder, landmine lifter, winning Africa for Jesus via the Back to the Bible Mission @ Barberton, Husband of Oumie Storie Elreza 50+ years, father to 4 sons and their beautiful brides, grandpa to 13 grandkinds. #Sapper🙏🏻
“Met ‘n krom stok kan die Vader ‘n reguit hou slaan!”
DAD, ek is so lief vir Pappa.
Dankie:
1. vir elke "Francoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!" geskree langs die atletiekbaan.
2. Dankie dat Pappa daai boelie in Laerskool Kroonheuwel in Kroonstad wou gaan regsien omdat hy met my sukkel.
3. Dankie vir blou-blasie hulp op die strand in Jeffreysbaai.
4. Dankie dat Pappa die amptelike (meestal geduldige) chauffeur van die Mulderbroers en Eleison was.
5. Dankie dat Pappa vir Sylvester Clarke van die Wes Indiese eilande gaan vra het vir sy handtekening vir my, al het hy geweier.
6. Dankie vir oom Nelie Smit se handtekening en sy belofte om Naas Botha se handtekening te kry vir my (ek wag steeds, en nou is oom Nelie in die hemel, en Naas is nie meer my hero nie.)
7. Dankie vir Pappa se boek: "Meer as oorwinnaar ... ook in die Grensoorlog" wat geskryf is vir ons en ons kinders.
8. Dankie vir opofferinge van tyd en geld belê in my.
9. Dankie vir my Matriekafskeid-pak en my Belydenis van geloof pak en my Trou-pak.
10. Dankie vir al die pakslae wat geregverdig was (behalwe daai twee of drie keer wat ek, Frikkie, Ferdie en Fanie sáám pak gekry het oor die Ultra-Mel wat Fanie alleen opgeëet het.
11. Dankie vir daai wit 1980 Toyota Corolla.
12. Dankie vir elke gebed vir my en Karina.
13. Dankie vir Pappa se liefde en veral gebede (en bederf) vir Roshai, Theo en Maríze.
14. Dankie vir die voorbeeld van 'n onvolmaakte maar GELUKKIGE huwelik van 50 jaar plus met my Mamma.
15. Dankie dat Pappa my tweeling-sussie Esperanza se wit kissie gedra het tydens haar begrafnis, 'n paar dae na ons geboorte.
Wat ‘n vóórreg om in ‘n vaderlose wêreld ‘n pa te hê wat my steeds heenwys na ons Hemelse Pa.

Alan Donald mentioned getting therapy after the 17 June 1999 “tragedy.” He talked about “flooding.”
Definition:
Flooding, sometimes referred to as in vivo exposure therapy, is a form of behavior therapy and desensitization—or exposure therapy—based on the principles of respondent conditioning. As a psychotherapeutic technique, it is used to treat phobia and anxiety disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Dankie Here, Kreatiewe Vuur van die heelal, dat U vir my met musiek in my are, ‘n seun gegee het wat my passie vir note en klank-ontploffings deel! ‘n Selfgeleerde multi-instrumentalis, komponis, sanger en producer. ‘n Kreatiewe genius! Theo Mulder, jy is gebless met talente uit die Here se hand! Ek is trots op hoe jy dit gebruik! Ek julle band @kloudink - 500 000 streams vir jul EP “Swimming pool” - ongelooflik ! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Maar die mooiste vir my in jou: ‘n beautiful omgee-hart wat ‘n vriend 1000 is. Iemand wat leef: “I am because we are!” Dankie dat jy afvlerke verbind en hulle wat geval het ophelp. Jou sagte hart en uitbundige lag inspireer my om voluit te leef. EK IS SO LIEF VIR, TROTS OP EN MAL OOR JÓÚ, Theo, ons #Ubuntu#RockandRollerEk gee vir jou U2 se gunsteling Psalm 401-3 “I waited and waited and waited for God. At last he looked; finally he listened.He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud.He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn’t slip.He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God.More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God.” @ Blanco, Western Cape, South Africa
