Re: Christmas DownUnder

[Brian Ralph <bralph@ZETA.ORG.AU>]

For those who have been following Barbara's messages. I am afraid it
is not all good news and would ask for prayers from those who believe
in them. I have received news this morning that the fires in wild
bush to the south east of me are expected to head my way in 24 - 36
hours. I brought my 92 year old  mother up here yesterday for the
week's holiday out of the city that she looks forward to each year
but my sister and brother-in-law have now arrived to take her home
along with all my most important papers and certificates. It is hard
to decide what to give them. I am copying important details from my
home computer to my portable which I will give them. When they are
gone I will concentrate on cleaning up outside and filling every
possible container with water.  It feels strange as we are west of
the fires and have clear blue skies whereas Sydney is covered with
smoke.
Anyway I hope I can tell you all it has missed me in a few days time.
Thanks for listening
