"WHO SAID THAT"?

Number One.
"Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light"
The Apostle Paul said "Some bloke said it". (Eph 5:14)
Number Two
"Thy kingdom come"
Jesus Christ Himself said it.(Luke 11:2)
Number Three
"There is nothing so stable as change"
Attributed to Bob Dylan
He then must have gone out and wrote his song, "The times they are a changin".

This strange assortment came to me as I lay in a waking stupor this AM with the nagging thought that I should write another Blog.
That probably accounts for Number One.
Number two was the refuge to which I fled after contemplating modern change and some of its ramifications. Number Two will bring in the most widespread and the best changes ever.(Even so, come Lord Jesus)
Number three came out of our week end trip to Sydney, the jewel of the East, and also out of watching radio communications and the ABC, made in the late 40's and screened on ABC 2 last night. The 1940's seemed so quaint and I had to pinch myself and say, this is how it really was, sending telegrams and meeting ships, going to counters and speaking with real people.Some things have improved, like people not puffing smoke all over the place, but sad to say, good manners have not!

The first two photos below will serve to remind us of the change in our number one son's life.
Mark and Val lived in this lovely little house for some time, but there are now only memories






Mark and Val were smart, they bought the worst house in a very nice street and turned it into a lovely little cottage. What a nice place to have spent some of their life

Nevertheless, "Change Happens"
The next three pics show something of the change in the life of our number four son, Paul.
This is his new digs within walking distance of the Castle Hill shopping complex
Surpise surprise, just a short drive from Mark and Val's cottage in Glenhaven.


Here is Paul setting up his kitchen and as you look out the window there you can see into the yard of St Bernadette's Church and Primary School caught ion the pic below


While it is true that change happens it is also true that some things don't change quickly enough. I'm thinking about the road from Melbourne to Sydney, the famous Hume Highway. I am still waiting for the duel road to be completed between Yass and Holbrooke. As Gough Whitlam said. "Its Time"
