the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit, Isaiah 61:3

How beautiful is your creation oh, Lord. It cries out for our praise of you, our Creator!

A momentary earthly reflection of heaven here on earth ...

Divided: A brilliant free movie!

This brilliant movie is free 'till September 2011. Not to be missed - it is a powerful train of thought, in a world where our thinking is so wrong!

It addresses the whole issue of why children and youth fall away from Christianity in our age. It looks at both history and trends around the world but most of all looks at the Bible for answers. Are we taking our God given responsibility when it comes to our children?Do we let the children come to CHrist or do w shove them away?

The runaway's unconditional love....

So the world says, 'don't have any more kids' and certainly 'don't have any more with special needs' and yet they have no idea what so ever how much more of a blessing 'more' and 'special' can be - praise and thanks be to our God!

Take a look at this beautiful story of love...

King's Beach: Early May 2011

Jessica relaxing after a good meal!

This term seems to have been full....busy but also full of sickness...just a perpetual round of flue, soar throats, colds, laryngitis, etc going from one person to another and doing the rounds all over again!  There seem to be so many things I did not write about from before we were sick...I just cannot possibly keep up with out very busy lives! One special thing we did was  to go away for a weekend at the beginning of May. We met up with friends both new and old in Caloundra, before heading inland to Mapleton for our the combined Reformed Baptist's Church Camp. Here are some shots of our family enjoying King's Beach, one of our most favourite spots on the Sunshine coast! Not only do you have ships going by, kite flying and the beach but there are fountains which change size and direction all the time - great fun! We have not been there with the fountains going since Jarryn was a baby, he is 3 and a half now. So everyone had great fun!

Ship ahoy!

The fountains....

Erica had a terrible cold that day, just look at her blowing her nose!

Just joking...

Erica having great fun.

Keeping dry and warm a good safe distance from the fountains. I got wet when an unexpected fountain got me from behind, as I was taking photographs.
