Great friends

June 18th, 2007

Had a great weekend just gone. It revolved around spending a lot time with friends and with God.
It started on Friday when some new friends  from Merredin - Wayne and Linda - came down to Perth and called in at our place. They called over for morning tea at 10.30am and left at 5.00pm. All [...]

Offer and acceptance

June 16th, 2007

Anyone who has ever bought or sold a house knows about the offer and acceptance form. If you see a house you like, you speak to the real estate agent and put in an offer. The agent then takes it back to the owners to negotiate an acceptable price to both parties. If both are [...]

Ruth Bell Graham 1920-2007

June 15th, 2007

Ruth Bell Graham died overnight our time. For me both Billy and Ruth Graham were very inspirational. Although I didn’t know them personally, I have read much about them both. Their commitment to  spreading the message of God’s love and forgiveness through Jesus Christ has reached millions and millions of people worldwide.
Here is the obituary [...]

99 not out

Two weeks from now I finish my job I have been doing for ten years. Part of the job I do is tabling Reports in the WA State Parliament. On average we table ten reports per year on a variety of topics.

Dispute help

June 13th, 2007

This morning I was talking to someone who had a dispute going on at a club they are invloved with. One person was not happy with how someone was leading a particular area. The person I spoke to was outside the issue, but one of the people had complained to them.
I was able to share [...]

Another piece of the jigsaw fell into place yesterday. We received and accepted an offer on our house here in Perth. It is subject to the buyer receiving finance, but they are confident it will go through. My wife an I are very happy about this as we were prayerfully hoping to go to Merredin [...]

Letter from an unsaved friend

June 8th, 2007

Found this on livingwaters.com just now and I thought I would share it. It is titled, “Letter from an unsaved friend”. It made me stop and reflect…
My friend, I stand in judgment now,
and feel that you’re to blame somehow.
On earth I walked with you by day,
and never did you show the way.
You knew the Savior [...]

Stemcell debate info

June 7th, 2007

The issue of therapeutic cloning has been in the news lately. There has been a lot of debate over whether the laws should be passed to allow Embryonic stemcells to be used in cloning to find cures for diseases like Motor Neurone Disease and Type 1 Diabetes.
On both sides of the issue has been a [...]

Letters to God

June 7th, 2007

One of the great things I like about the book of Psalms in the Bible is that it is someone pouring their heart out to God. Many times we see that David absolutely poured out his fears, frustrations, sufferings, discouragement and disappointment to God. He didn’t hold back one iota! I really love that God [...]

Vision casting

June 5th, 2007

I’ve always thought that vision casting is about showing people what you believe is God’s picture of the future and sharing the benefits of how good that will be when we all get there. I believe a vision is a picture from God of how things could and should be.
I believe that sharing a vision [...]
