Well at last some good news about the whole Sarcoidosis issue that I have been dealing with the past 18 months — my last checkup has reported the all clear!

Regular readers here will know I have written previously about how I feel about being unemployed for 12 months and how it has affected my family and life.

21 December 2009

Last Friday I took my family to a community meal, called The Banquet, that was provided by Planetshakers church recently in Ringwood. This was not the first time, in fact, I was so angry about what happened at the first meal that I was hesitant to go to the second, but for ensuring the same […]

I met with TC James Knaggs from the Salvation Army (Southern Division) on Monday to share about Holy Fools and the need for a presence on the Outer Eastern Suburbs that was more than a Church and not a Welfare organisation.
