Back from the Hill...

Well I arrived back from Broken Hill last night. I had a great week catching up with a few people, Sonja and the Whalleys and getting to know the new first years. There is an old dump filled with lots of glass bottles on the edge of town (thats all the location details cause its very secret spot) and Helen, Patrick, Donny and myself had a great time getting dirty and finding many old hidden treasures. I was very excited to find a very old bottle that was over 100 years old with, John Penrose, Silverton, printed on the side. If your interested in Australian history Silverton is one town to check out, rich with history. I had a jam with Helen and very slowly my skills on guitar is improving. Friendship and community, catching up with mates is such a rich gift from God. The majority of my time was taken up painting Sonja's dining room, cream with blue feature wall. It was great fun and relaxing and was very fun to celebrate with a dinner party in the revamped room. I gave Mandie a bit of a scare last night when we met up. Aparently I looked like I'd been in a fight and I neglected to give her prior warning of this. I had an altercation with a curb and got a black eye and small cut and another altercation with a hammer with has left my left hand very painful and limited in movement. Going for x-ray tomorrow. I'm now back and into the swing of things. With just me and Mandie holding the fort for 2 weeks life is going to be busy and juggling things that have to be done, mission and work. I start my new job on Saturday and I apreciate your prayers. Well live continues on.... Bring it on.... Run hard, do your duty and keep your sheer doggard endurance in this battle we are in... Remember we are on the winning side that leads and gives us to life to the fullest.
