So Schappelle got 20 years jail for her ‘crime’. Interesting. I’ll continue following this case as probably most Aussies will do with the hopes that she’ll win an appeal or the Indonesian govt gives a bit of leniancy. I’ve read lots of the comments people have put out there about this case. Some people state [...]

It seems like ages since I’ve posted here. Not that it really is but a lot happens inbetween. In Australia at this time the name Shapelle Corby is being repeated everywhere. In this news.com story Shapelle asks us to pray for her. I must say that’s something I’ll do but I seem to have by [...]

Last night we went and saw a concert by the Watoto Children’s Choir and it was encouraging to see some hope coming out of a hopeless situation in Uganda. They are here for a while yet (in Perth) before heading over east then NZ and finally Singapore before heading home in November. The kids are [...]

This story in news.com tells of how Aussie pets are more depressed than ever. I have written a lot of posts about my dog lately and I reckon she’s had a lot of the symptoms of this for a long time. Not sure if it’s so much depression but more anxiety. Thankfully she’s sleeping peacefully [...]

What a busy weekend that was. I organised a quiz night at our church for Saturday night (only a little one) which centred around missions as a theme. It was good fun and went well. Then Sunday morning I shared at a church north of the river about SIM. This also went well. I did [...]

This is doing the rounds on the email at the moment but there’s a lot of truth to it. In all honesty, I do have a couple of friends who I could class as ‘real’ according to this:
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.
A simple [...]

Yep, that’s what my little dog tried to do today. Poor thing, she’s on a fast until her stomach settles but she’s still going strong. We on the other hand spent most of the night up, injecting her mouth with 5ml of water every 15 mins. It worked because the vet was quite pleased with [...]

Yes, my sausage dog has another ‘tail’ to tell. This time the quarterzone that she’s on for her back (which has cleared up) has caused her to get a stomach ulcer which in turn caused vomiting and now dehydration! To fix that we have to give her 5ml of water every 20 mins all through [...]

Ok, these two things aren’t actually related apart from the fact that they are the two main things that happened over the last two days (apart from Mother’s Day). Firstly, a big scare. My sausage dog had a bit of an accident on Friday morning (unrelated to the last one). She’s old and so it [...]
