  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  2 days and counting...

  I'm getting quite excited about the casual work I'll be doing next week - I've finally been told where I'll be working and there aren't any horrendous locations like at the side of the motorway!

  Haven't heard anything from the two interviews I had so I'm assuming they're no's. Awaiting an application form for another job and I'm reasonably optimistic - there are a few posts to fill and they don't advertise too widely so there won't be too many applicants. I phoned them yesterday for an 'informal chat' about the work and it sounds ideal for me at the moment - few responsibilities, not too much to think about and always busy, plus I get to meet people too so will be able to chat whilst working.

  We'll see what happens

  the church is untainted with blood

  Fascinating when compared with Tertullian's (?) writing that 'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church'. I didn't know about that particular law, but it explains why so many of the English martyrs were subjected to such horrific methods of execution such as stretching and crushing Can't work out how they would have got away with hang/draw/quartering though

  Indeed we are seeing for ourselves that religion is a snare and a racket!

  These are not just any pears these are Marks and Spencers pears

  Yeah edmond - don't ever let 'em con you with that one - their products come from the same places as Asda & tesco & other shops get theirs

  But I like my pears with ice cream or fresh double cream when I can afford to be extravagant

  LOL! The 'fermented' theory sounds plausible to me too.

  What variety are they? most of our pears come from South Africa at this time of year - gotta get some

  I started feeling very unwell around 11.30pm and got worse, I was trying to stay up for the vigil but it got to around 12.30am and I was feeling too ill to stay up. After the quake I gradually started feeling better again. Whether the two were connected I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me if they were.

  Dear diary

  Experienced my first ever earthquake in the early hours of this morning - WOW! It was scary - because I was expecting the chimney to come through the ceiling, but it was quite exciting too. No damage done thoough, I just need to put my possessions back to the positions they wobbled from! Some US folks have pooh-pooed it because it was 'only' a 5.3, but they forget that quakes of that magnitude only happen here about once every 20 years! Yes, I suppose its different when you're used to them, but when you aren't its a different matter.

  I have yet to go to work and don't know whether things will have moved there too.

  Work - 3 days and counting...

  Just been round the outside of the house to check all the bricks, roof and chimney are still where they should be!

  When it happened, I thought the chimney had come down, that's what woke me up, it was rattling - and its almost right above my head! All my ornaments and stuff have moved about an inch, all in the same direction. One of my poor cats fell off the end of my bed LOL! I feel a bit sorry for her cos she's so old and not well, she sleeps really deeply these days, she probably wouldn't have woken till she hit the ground!

  Sorry I didn't come back to you Decki - I was heading out to work earlier. I hope the house closure goes smoothly and you can celebrate abundantly!

  Speaking of button pushers who push harder and then chuck a fit - yeah, that really sux. Once or twice I've still come close to hauling customers across my shop counter by the throat and giving them a serious piece of my mind...

  ...but I'm a Christian and we Christians aren't supposed to do that sort of thing - life is supposed to run like a dream, everybody happy and forgiving and understanding of the faults of others, patient, offer the other cheek blah, blah, blah...

  What a load of b£%%*^ks!!

  Those who don't know when to stop, in a way I feel sad for them because they're missing out on so much in life but don't realise it, they won't until they are faced with themselves as we have been. In the long run karma's a bitch, God might be an even bigger one in our eyes - best not to mess with either lol!

  Is apartheid really dead?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my country has been democratically free since 1994 when nelson mandela was elected as the first black president of south africa - there was much celebration as this new rainbow nation looked to it's bright furture.

  mandela had and still has a fantastica aura about him, drawing in all sorts of people for different backgrounds / colours into into his peaceful presence.

  mandela holds no bitterness towards his past imprisonment - he thought it a wast of time to dwell on a violent past.

  I've heard that things aren't too good in your country LouBelle

  I also know that a lot of what's going on is being swept under the carpet by the international community and media. In fact I hear most of the news on the sports radio station I listen to - people have been phoning in concerned about the safety of soccer fans when the World Cup takes place. The radio presenters tried to cover that over by saying that cricket matches take place with no problems - but some of the ex-pat callers say that this is because they are in protected areas and the cricket fans, if they have sense, do not venture outside them.

  I worry that South Africa is heading into a total meltdown whilst the world has its back turned and its eyes closed, painting a rosy picture of a 'successful' nation. I pray for your safety and the safety of those dear to you.
