Feb. 15, 2009 - NEWS: The Victoria BushFire, Flooding in Queensland, the 13 year old Father and Youth Group!
I don't know if you've heard about the massive fire that broke out here in Victoria, Australia. A couple of guys were arrested for starting it. It's pobably the biggest, hugest, fire we've had in Australian history. It's killed 181 people. 181!!! 181 innocent Australians dead. I feel so sorry and sad for all the victims who've lost their possesions, houses, animals and loved ones. It's really sad that a couple of guys thought they'd start a bush fire, which ended up killing 181 people. That is really bad. All across Australia we're still raisning money for the Victoria Bushfire Victims. Last time I heard how much we raised it was around 70 odd million. All on the news they showed the fire. It was massive and the clouds were BLACK! It was scary, watching it.
And in Queensland, Australia, it's FLOODING! Fire in one part of Australia, flooding in the next. Only a couple of us were lost. It's not as bad as the Victoria Fire, but it still is bad. At Church yesterday, Danny was mentioning the Fire and Jim also mentioned that we should also think about the flooding in Queensland. We're in a trajic state at the moment and so I ask you, please send us your prayers. It would be a gret help.
To lighten things up a bit I want to take a moment to ask you guys something. What is up the the 13 yr old boy being a father of a baby? His 15 yr old girlfriend being the mother of the baby. I think this is in France??? Not really sure but it sure isn't in Australia. I have no clue what to say. At that age it's a mistake for the both of them. They haven't finished school, they're too young, and they have their whole lives ahead of them. I haven't heard any more news about them since last night. If you guys have heard differently, please tell me. I'm really interested.
And the last piece of news. Youth group has started. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this in my last post??? Anyway, this week we're doing a phot rally. It's where we get into groups. When we're in our groups, we're handed a piece of paper with instructions on it. Then we have to run all over town and take photos. Its really fun. Although I really hate photo's. Lol.
