Hiking in Western Victoria

What are the native animals where you live? Do you have a funny story? Habitat facts and interesting bits...? For added value please feel free to add "story" of your pet.. I'll start by sharing Kangaroo boxing event captured this morning. Bit sad fact: Kangaroos have average lifespan of 6 years in the wild. However, most individuals do not reach maturity in the wild. Fighting is also common among kangaroos. They fight for drinking spot or for access to estrous females. During a fight, kangaroos adopt a high standing posture and paw at each other’s head, shoulders, and chests. Exactly like boxing! Moreover, they will also lock forearms and wrestle and push each other. However, kangaroo fights are frequently brief.

This story is the untold story about the secret love between Maria Magdalena and Jesus. I will certainly skip this movie.

Sometimes I wish I were a T-Rex, then when people upset me I wouldn't have to talk about it. I could just eat them.

I love their call, it sounds so wild . I will get a youtube vid going and watch my cat get a little freaked out...hilarious.

Yes, just reading the latest on abc.net. Pictures really look eerie! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-18/victoria-bushfire-evacuation-alert/9560098 Started by lightning strike...fanned by high winds....

I am ok ..but did not sleep all night due to heavy winds in Grampians (storm) The weather is still weird, when I traveled back I made sure to avoid any bush-fire areas

Sometimes going to meetings can be about "How can I be encouraged?" but lately it has been "How can I encourage others?" even though I have been needing it so badly. I just don't want to come to the meeting with a sad face on, which isn't easy.

Grumpy & I celebrated our 57 th anniversary today.

Who wants a sneak peak at a new design? Like and comment on this status

From the article: On March 8, Incheon District Court sentenced a Jehovah's Witnesses conscientious objector to 18 months in jail.On the same day, an Ulsan district court gave a not guilty ruling.The first acquittal of a religious conscientious objector came in 2004 and 17 had been found not guilty by 2016. However, last year 45 objectors were acquitted, putting more pressure on higher courts for a final ruling. The brothers have organised a petition addressing this. From jw.org: After the highly publicized meeting, Jehovah’s Witnesses in South Korea organized a campaign to collect signatures on petitions addressed to the president. The government’s policy of punishing conscientious objectors with imprisonment has deeply affected generations of Witnesses. Since President Moon has directed his administration to respond to petitions from the country’s citizens, the petitions request the president’s help to find a solution to the problem that conscientious objectors have faced for some 70 years. https://www.jw.org/en/news/legal/by-region/south-korea/petition-president-resolve-conscientious-objection-issue/ The brothers have been so faithful for so long. Praying that the petition may result in relief for them.

Exactly. .. I remember last year and how bad it got.. we will be praying for our Spiritual family. ...

Aw man, how am I gonna cook now??? Me and the Batchelor Box, we got it all figured out. ...a couple of BigMacs on a paper plate and a cup of yesterdays coffee, 3 minutes, done, out the door ---

Glad you are okay Greg and Mrs Greg. I hope they die down quick.

I have friends there who have evacuated. One has lost his house.

Saw the BBC film critic on tv who yesterday said it is the most boring film he has ever seen and it seems to have been made "politically correct" as they say...... I didn't like the look of the very scruffy Jesus on the clip they showed. Personally I won't be viewing it but I don't view any of these modern biblically themed films as I don't want any of their portrayed images scenes or faces of characters stuck in my minds eye. I can still see Victor Mature as Samson from my youthful days.....

Kangas live down the road from me, about 2 km away in the hills. I've seen them on my walks, but you have to be very early/late in the day as they come out at dawn/dusk. Here are some on the property I stayed on at Margaret River, southern WA. And the kookaburras wake me up in the morning. Very nice! No pics tho.

Kookaburras tried our food without permission LOL .. One took of with big chicken bone!

I saw one house flattened by the wind (not in person - news)

I'm just trying to get my head around how big the area is. Those winds will whip it up and send it far and wide. Hate that about summer, bushfires.

Oh dear! It's such a big area affected, I knew our brothers would have to be affected. What area was your friend? Shame That's such a lovely part of Vic to visit. I just never get to go out of Melbourne when I head that way. You ok?

Just came back from that region ...winds were incredible ..had to change my holiday plans. I had to cancel travel today to Warrnambool from Grampians (Halls Gap)

Also, if you are going to drink bottled water, only drink water that has been stored in room temperature or colder. Don’t drink water that has been stored in the garage during summer or buy the cases of bottled water that’s sitting outside the front of a gas station in the heat because the heat causes the plastic to seep into the water. Also, never microwave food in plastic containers.

Spending so much time outdoors “kills” my TV viewing time ... LOL

They are small but appear to be very strong! The second photo exposes legs a little bit more... Besides the beak, the second most important structural design would be its feet. Kookaburras may spend lots of hours on the branch of a tree, waiting for their prey as it is not always there for them, and so they need very strong feet to allow them to stand that long. Due to the fact that their legs are quite skinny and therefore not very strong, they have their toes stuck together to strengthen their feet so that they can hold on tight.

Their legs/feet look awfully small, compared to the body size. Am I looking at them right? Are they coiled up or something?

We don't have anything as exotic as kangaroos - but, native to our area are: The Eastern Diamondback - a pit viper species found in the southeastern United States. It is the heaviest though not the longest venomous snake in the Americas and the largest rattlesnake Alligator - The American alligator is the official state reptile of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Several organizations and products from Florida have been named after the animal. "Gators" has been the nickname of the University of Florida's sports teams since 1911

Sunday, March 18 By faith we perceive that the systems of things were put in order by God’s word, so that what is seen has come into existence from things that are not visible.—Heb. 11:3. The Bible’s description of faith is found at Hebrews 11:1. Faith focuses on two kinds of things that are not visible to us: (1) “What is hoped for”—this may include future events that have been promised to happen but that have not yet occurred, such as the end of all wickedness and the coming new world. (2) “Realities that are not seen.” In this context, the Greek word translated “evident demonstration” refers to “convincing evidence” of an invisible reality, such as the existence of Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, the angels, and the activities of the heavenly Kingdom. How do we prove that our hope is alive and that we believe in the unseen things spoken of in God’s Word? By our words and deeds—without which our faith would be incomplete. w16.10 4:6

Down Under we have Jaws in the ocean and Claws above the ground LOL

Kangaroos are on the back of our land. And koalas not far fromus. And we have a family of about 7 Kookaburras living at our place. No funny stories.. but I saw a Koala for the first time in the wild about 6 months ago. Im 47 and never seen one in the wild before. Guess where it was..... crossing an 8 lined freeway near the queensland border!!! Everyone braking and pulling to the side of the road watching it pass.

Friday, March 16, 2018 - Bible changes life

Got an earlier start today. Family worship's invaluable.

Sorry so late... Long day. March 15th Wrestle for blessings.

There's a storm brewing on Satan's horizon... A storm of apocalyptic proportions. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2018/03/2018-sony-world-photography-awards-shortlist/

Hi everyone, I thought of a new game based on something my family did as kids. Before service, we would present our presentation to my Dad or Mom, and they would do there best to play the most difficult, belligerent householder and quiz us on how we would respond. [emoji23] The tricky part was, like at the door, we had to answer on the spot in the most simple and tactful way. No long explanations, but from the scriptures, calmly and briefly. Simple Example: Poster 1: HELLO?! Not you JW's again! I don't want to talk to people who don't believe in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior!! Poster 2: I know you weren't expecting us, so I'll be brief. We do in fact believe in Jesus Christ, as he is the reason our sins can be forgiven. Are you familiar with John 3:16? ----- Now it's your turn, I'll start: I'm not listening to this!! You JW's have your own Bible, I only read from the REAL original KJV! I have dozens of Bible's, you couldn't teach me anything I don't already know!!

I´m sorry for the missimpression! It was not my intention to teach you. I just wanted to share something beautiful I´ve found with you. Would you mind opening your KJV in Psalms 83:18? I´m looking forward to hearing your opinion about this verse.
