Well thats our finals chances gone

Thanks to a fired up Richmond…and an insipid third quarter.

Fremantle at times played on…and kicked to teamates.
Unfortunately at other times they were playing it safe…and not playing with confidence.
If they had pinched the win, as they almost did, while it would have been nice, they would not have deserved it.
Richmond tried hard all night, and with Freo missing too many good players, the Tigers deserved the win.

I do like what Harvey is doing though. Experimenting, playing all the young players.
Lets hope Palmer gets back fit and firing next year, and with our new players like Hill and Mayne back…we do have a lot to look forward too.

Too boo or not to boo

That is the question.
And the person?
Ben Cousins.

For the affirmative
1. He used to play for West Coast
2. He now plays for Richmond
3. He is impossibly talented and good looking
4. If we don’t boo him, he wont know how to react

For the negative
1. He no longer plays for West Coast
2. He has (self inflicted or not) had a rough trot
3. His coach is about to get sacked

I will leave it with my readers…to boo or not?

Facing death…..

“A circus act in Romania ended in tragedy on 23 January when fire-eater Vlad Cazacu, 43, belched in mid-performance and was blown to bits. Incredibly no one came to his rescue as stunned onlookers assumed this was part of an amazing illusion. Consequently this unfortunate man, who probably could have been saved, was allowed to just lie there and die.

“In the first part of the performance,” said fellow circus performer Nicole Antosu, “Vlad held a flammable cocktail in his mouth to spit fire at a burning torch. Somehow, he must have swallowed some of the liquid, because when he burped he triggered an explosion.” The Parrot (Accra, Ghana) – 2-8 June 1998″

There is something significant about your life. You have it…right now…and at this moment you are choosing what to do with it. God has given us a choice on how to live our life…right up to the point of death…it is only at that point that control is then taken off you….

A 12 seat chapel

At the moment as a church we are working out how best to do our seating.
There is a large influx of people at 10.01 am…which makes life difficult when you are trying to get the seating right.

We generally don’t put out all the seats until closer to 10am …so as to encourage people to sit in the seats nearer the front….my breath does not smell…honestly!

But because a significant portion of our church is children (about 45%), when they leave for their kids programs half way through the service, the place can feel a little ‘drafty’!


Maybe this is the answer….a 12 seat chapel a husband built for his wife, because their church is too ‘crowded’.
“Mr Richards, a retired watch importer, said: “I built it for Muriel because she’s really passionate about her religion but the local church is often too busy. “
