Tuscan is home!
Well, some good news! Tuscan came through the surgery and the recovery and is back home with Tim and Jay and improving daily after the trauma of surgery on his heart. If you’re on Facebook and know Tim and Jay - go check the pics out of the little guy!
God is great and I thank and praise him for the answers of the many prayers for Tuscan’s surgery and health!

No Comments »Update on Tuscan
I recieved a text message late yesterday afternoon from Tim and Jay with the great news that Tuscan had gone through surgery successfuly and was now in ICU and on ventilhation etc. The next hurdle is slowly bringing him back to consciousness and getting him off the life support - so please continue to pray for him! And, thanks for keeping them in your prayers!

No Comments »Prayers for baby Tuscan
A couple, Tim and Jay, have a new baby boy that is about to undergo heart surgery today (Tuesday AM, Melbourne time). His name is Tuscan and from the pics on Facebook he is both gorgeous and a handful for mum and dad!
I would ask that you keep this family, in particular Tuscan, and the many skilled surgeons and team that are going to operate today on his tiny heart, in your prayers and close to your thoughts as they operate this morning (Melbourne time). Apparently some of the toughest moments will be when they restart his heart.
This brings tears to my eyes when I think of what this little guy is going to undergo! And not too mention how mum and dad must be feeling! But I pray, and believe in prayer, and would ask that you too take this little boy and the surgery to our Father.
I will keep you posted once I hear some news.

No Comments »We Can Be The Change
A man whom I respect, love and admire, Dave Andrews, has a website called wecan.be -calling on us all to be the change in the world and not to let the extremists from both ends and all reglions and factions set the World’s agenda. He says that small changes - little changes by individuals may just be that - little changes, but that cumulatively, when teh same action or joined, they are BIG changes.
Dave calls us to go from Plan A - Treat others Like They Have Treated Us - to go to Plan Be; Treat Others Like We Would Like to Be Treated. This, the Golden Rule, is a common thread for all major religions. But, as Andrew says,
“The strength of the Golden Rule is that everybody agrees that it is great place to start. Its weakness is that though its nice and warm and fuzzy people find it a bit vague as guideline.
Which is why Jesus of Nazareth spent so much time unpacking the specific implications of the Golden Rule in his Sermon on the Mount - summarising his suggestions in his Beatitudes.
But the trouble is, few people who would claim to be admirers of Jesus - even among those who would call themselves “believers” – take the Be-Attitudes seriously as ethical guidelines.”
