@overcomer, @sarah-h, Good advice, I’ll have to add that in.

@sarah-h *echos Claire* Agreed! 🙂

@sarah-h I wish you were able to come over so I could show you everything rather than telling you. (That’s not to say, that I dislike answering questions, but that it’s more fun in person)
We have a different garden now, no gumtrees in the front yard, so it’s possible that we are just not attracting them as much.
Tiger snakes, Red-bellied blacks,…[Read more]

@sarah-h. Agreed! 🙂

I have read the entire Promise of Zion and one or two of the other one. I don’t mind the ending so much for Promise of Zion. It’s better than Jeff’s end. 🙁
Great, you’ll have to tell me what you think when you finish them. 🙂
Not a dumb question at all. And you like rambling…here goes. 🙂
I live near the bottom of Victoria and it’s and…[Read more]

@bluejay, I can’t believe you’ve read the Billabong series! My older sister started collecting them when she was 12. We now have the whole series, and they have come from all over Australia! I’m savouring them, so I’m only on the 9th one. I want them to last as long as possible, so I’m reading them REALLY slowly! 🙂

@sarah-h. My great…[Read more]

@sarah-h. Thanks!

@sarah-h, I got about 6 – 7 chapters read, but not much time today as I was out at musical theatre all morning and we are now preparing for an Olympic themed youth group this evening at out house. So really just my normal morning devotion. Anyway, I’ll have to do it again sometime. 🙂

@sarah-h Today is the day I’m doing it, so you are on the right day. 🙂

Thank you all so much for your replies @hope @Bluejay @kate-flournoy @Daeus @sarah-h I really appreciate all you taking the time to discuss this.

I agree with you all 100%. I have heard some pretty strong arguments for both sides of the coin and wanted to get a couple of different perspectives.

@Daeus just out of curiosity, what would you say…[Read more]

@bluejay, Thanks for the recommendation! They look really interesting. 🙂
@sarah-h. I have read them and love them. Actually I have only read the first two. My great grandparents actually came out from Ireland, so that’s basically where I come from. The other side of my family is full Scottish and English. In fact, apparently the Scottish side…[Read more]

@sarah-h and @clairec I’ll be reading nothing but the Bible tomorrow, do you want to join me?

@sarah-h Yes, I have them. Wow! You’ve read them? That’s amazing. 🙂 They are great books, but I didn’t like what happened to Jeff. 🙁 And there a few too many snakes in there. 😉 The Billabong series are great Aussie books. And really good books. Mary Grant Bruce is the author if you want to look her up.

@sarah-h, That’s great! 🙂

@sarah-h, As far as I can remember the romance doesn’t go in depth. (And I’m rather certain it doesn’t) There might be a little more in the last book, but I can’t remember. However, in some of Francine Rivers’ other books, it tends to go a little further, so I would stay away from Bridge to Haven and Redeeming Love. What you could do is have your…[Read more]

@sarah-h, Interestingly, not many people do know much about Australian history…a lot of Australians included!! I don’t know a huge amount either. I know the basics, but I only know about, um, *scratches head* maybe 3? of our prime ministers. So, yeah. 😉 I only know a lot about the Pacific War (the Pacific in WWII) because that’s what my current…[Read more]

@sarah-h. Great! I suppose we just need to keep striving through the Lord’s strength. It’s nice to be able to do it with someone else!
