Lately

Hello =)

Here is what's been going on lately, in case you care!

Been up to Launceston to visit my sisters, swimming in the gorge, etc. Swimming with Georgie at Kingston today. Tea at Ilise's tonight. A few medical emergencies at work. A police emergency here the other night - the people in unit 2 had a huge domestic with lots of obscenities screamed at each other and lots of smashing. Had to call police and be questioned (Andrea and I didn't mind, it was our own little CSI episode). Got uni soon, which is absolutely fantastic considering I'm over working. Cruise ship coming to Port Arthur on Friday, the Pacific Princess with 700 people, so gotta go down to see it of course, on one of my days off. Leesa coming down to visit me and go on my harbour cruise. Had some other strange people I knew on my tour the other day, sabotaging it by asking ridiculous questions.

And that's about all that's been happening in my life, now more importantly what has been happening elsewhere: people from church (Baywest) are involved in heaps of summer camps which sound like they're going excellently! Kids hearing about how much they are loved by God, at a time when they really need to hear it, is a great thing. A few bad things happening in a few friendship circles, but nothing that can't be fixed if we get over our pride and ask God for help. And of course there's always family issues, and people get sick and die, and then there's just the general crappy things that inevitably happen.. It's funny how all of these things can happen, and non-Christians either get really resentful about life, or just don't think about it, or get confused as to why all these bad things can be happening. It's so strange to see, but one or two of my non-Christian friends have that attitude, they see all of this and are simply confused, and cannot understand why things are so unfair and why life isn't just fun, fun, fun. And they get resentful. What is so awesome (that word does not do it justice, but hey) about knowing God? The minute you know him, you have joy, and, to quote I don't know what part of the Bible, you have that peace that passes all understanding. Cos sure, you can be unhappy and whatever when such things happen, but when you have God you truly always have joy. Always having joy, no matter what, and knowing the one that made you, and having life that lasts forever. How can anyone not want that??

Back to what's happening lately. Well, lots more of course, but if it doesn't appear above it's because it's either not open for public viewing or it's not worth knowing about! Hmm. Or I just haven't thought of it. Well see ya, or if I don't know you and you're reading this, then I probably won't see ya. I need to go to bed.
