Yep, I live just 7 minutes' drive from Hillsong Church in the Hills area. Some call it a bible belt area, there are quite a lot of church buildings around here. Even closer is another church called Dayspring which has about 1000 people, and MartinfromOz's church is pretty close to that one too. My one meets in the nearby school down the road. Both our churches are relatively new.
The Colour conference is getting bigger every year, I imagine! Being a guy though, I don't think I'll ever attend one.
Amazing how that chicken survived! Must have had an angel on its wing.
I heard on the radio the other day that a reindeer(!?!?) was blocking a freeway! The guy on radio said that a person called the authorities and said, "I'm not kidding, I think there's a reindeer on the road". They thought he sounded genuine, turned up and sure enough, there it was.They chased it around the place but it eventually got lost in the bush.
cheers,

Thanks Cherish405.
Did you see the "Fuel Price" thread on the Forum. Some people are paying out of this world prices. I will never complain again when I fill up.
Hugs for my new friends,
Marleneann.

OOOOooopppssss..
I got such a shock at the price I didn't read the post properly.
Now... does that mean I go back to complaining about the cost when I get fuel? *G*

For those of you who don't know, just call me Trish. It's a lot easier than cherish405.
I can't believe the petrol prices we are paying at the moment, but I'm grateful that they're not worse.

Hi Everyone and MageeWhillikers,
I haven't been to NZ Les, but maybe one day ..... Have had great times flying into every airport on the South Island tho - courtesy of Microsoft Flight Simulator. When I crash my Cessna among those mountains, I just press the button and get another. Sure is a rugged grandeur and wouldn't mind seeing it at snowtime.
Speaking of travel and fuel prices, sure glad you had the mathematics to do all that conversion bit, Aussiemum. Me, I ride a pushbike everywhere these days. Nevertheless, when I go downtown, I still have to fuel up again to get back home. It usually takes a slice of carrot cake, with 2 scoops of icecream and a mugaccino.
I had a busy day. Started to albumise my digital photos - 7years/7000 - only 6900 to go!.
Then I got my will done and was feeling ... well ... rather mortified (ancient solicitor joke I believe, and they made sure that I caught on too lol).
God bless,
Buddy

Talking of New Zealand...In January this year my hubby and I cruised New Zealand on the new Sapphire Princess. This was a delayed retirement dream...it only took nine years to save for it! We stopped at the major ports and did the usual sight-seeing thing. New Zealand is beautiful and GREEN. That's what caught my eye. Green and fresh. I have some photographs on my website. Just click on the Sapphire Princess button.
*So your miserable because you have a speck of dust in your eye...what about the man who is blind*
Count Your Blessings - Marleneann~

Yep, NZ sure is green. That's one thing I miss about there. Being in the west, I understand why they call us sandgropers. In NZ, this much sand would be a beach if it had water.

I'm not either, I'm british but I have 2 Aussie brothers as my friends (but I think we've integrated them now) and know a NZ family quite well. And my aunt has just spent 3 months touring round both places and Japan. I'm jealous.,..

Hi Nada! Welcome. Won't complain that you're not an Aussie or Kiwi. Everybody's welcome here.
My dad was born in Durham, so can't complain about you being British either. LOL.

Hi Nada,
How's Britain?
I watch your Songs of Praise every Sunday after church. It's a great programme and I love those cathedrals with the great sounds coming off those stone walls,
Buddy

actually sunny for once! There is blue skies visible through the whiteness of the clouds. I'm normally at Church when Songs of Praise is on, it kind of bores me. And we have a May Day tommorow *celebrates* No college. Yay!

I posted this question then realized that only "Aussies" would know what I was on about. So I will ask it again in this group.
Everyone (in my circle of friends) is talking about the Bali 9. Some heated discussions have developed and I was wondering what this forum of Christians had to say about the matter.

Yeah, I don't think they made the wisest of decisions. That's just my personal opinion.
So how has everybody's weekend been?

I didn't realise we had so many Aussies and Kiwis running around these threads!!...lol 
Yikes! Ok, that would officially be weird. Oh well, let's hope it has more fun out in the bush.
