Someone asked Doug: ”Can you show us how you organise your study? Can you take us through a normal day in the life of Doug?”
Unfortunately Doug did not let the cameraman give us the tour of the study/library. Not happy!

I’m sure that the person who asked Doug this didn’t get what they were hoping for. I imagine that guy is really frustrated.
This is an excellent resource to understand the locations and severity of each fire.
The ESA Marysville camp site has photos of the fire damage.
Doncaster’s new temple. Pretty nice actually.
We are going to Pt Lonsdale at the end of August. Feeling really tired at the moment, been a long year without a break.
Only going there for a week but we can’t wait. It’s only around the corner from Queenscliff.
The kids love the beach. I love the good coffee at Pt Lonsdale (Kelp cafe). Helen likes getting away from it all.
No mp3 of this one, but this is a sermon I preached on “Biblical Foundations for Family Life” at our Mandarin congregation. I’m still working on this material so if you want to see/hear the English version you’ll have to invite me to run a biblical parenting seminar at your church.

Dear future-Helen,
I opened an item in the mail today that you had sent to my wife, present-Helen, in the present. It came via her Colonial First State superannuation account.
Apparently you represent my wife in the future, who increases her super contributions and is now living 22 years into the future in “Island Hut 10, Port of Paradise, The Bahamas”.
You, future-Helen, claim that you now enjoy living “a life of ease”, travelling around northern Europe, enjoying “stawberries and cream outside of Wimbledon” and you have a new pool.
You urge my wife, present-Helen, to increase her super giving in order to create this future.
Unfortunately, I will show your letter to my wife and we will throw it in the bin.
In the first place, if she is living it up in Northern Europe she is not doing it with me. And as my wife, she stays with me till death do us part.
Secondly, we worship Jesus Christ and live for heaven. We do not aim for a “life of ease”, but to take up our cross and serve Jesus with all our heart. We hope to give more of our money away so people can hear the gospel and find life in a suffering world. We will take radical risks with our wealth and God will clothe and take care of us.
In short – GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY WIFE.
Wayne Schuller
Colonial First State – This is the most facile and shallow piece of advertising I have ever received. I’ll be rolling over my wife’s super to a new company ASAP.
Muehlenberg’s direct but wise response to a recent Porter piece:
Funny, but I bet big money that Mrs Porter wants the church to speak out publically and loudly on all sorts of moral issues, be it racism, environmentalism or sexual assault. But when it comes to her pet sin, homosexuality, then the church should just shut up and keep out of the public discussion.
Sorry Muriel, but it does not work that way. The truth is, you have just entered the public arena (in the form of an article in the national press) telling us that your version of events is the right one, and the Christian one. Yet when others who disagree with you seek to enter the debate, and in fact support the biblical position on this, you want them to butt out and just stay silent.

This is my current theory on Lost. Charles Widmore is actually Jim Robinson from Neighbours, that much is clear. The island where Lost is set is actually a medium size parkland in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Remember the church that Eko was building in Season 2? That is actually Holy Trinity Doncaster where Scot and Charlene were married. The valley of houses where “the others” used to live is a replication of Ramsey St.
In 1996, he purchased the journal of the first mate of the Black Rock, a 19th century British slave ship, at a Southfield’s auction. Desmond found him at the auction, demanding to know Penny’s new contact information. Widmore asserted that it was Desmond’s cowardice that separated Desmond from Penny. Desmond asked Widmore why Widmore hated him; Widmore retorted that it wasn’t he who hated Desmond. He then gave Desmond Penny’s address.Charles Widmore – Lostpedia
